It bears mentioning—due entirely to sheer absurdity—that Voyager's pilot episode had a bigger budget than "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan" and virtually on par with "Star Trek III The Search for Spock," due in no small part to the fact that they changed Kate Mulgrew's hairstyle partway through filming and had to…

I'd recommend it. I switched to Stargate (SG-1, and later Atlantis) after Enterprise was cancelled. It doesn't take itself as seriously as Trek (or even Farscape), but it's good, clean sci-fi fun.
