If it were silly, it might be reviewable for the camp.  That wasn't really Voyager's sin.  Voyager's sin was that it was terminally boring, largely because they never met a standard sci-fi plot that they didn't play entirely straight.  I tried a few years back to re-watch Deep Space Nine and Voyager.  With Deep Space…

I take it you guys have never seen The Jabberwocky in the original Klingon?

Replying to myself because Disqus won't let me reply to Murc directly:

I'm not sure it boils down entirely to that.  The details of the war between the Cardassian and the Federation has never been deeply delved into, except as background for various characters.  O'Brien was clearly traumatized by the Setlik III massacre, and if I'm not mistaken, in one episode of Voyager the writers…

*gagging face*

I thought the same to myself, to the point that I, for a very long time after seeing it, considered "The Sword of Kahless" to be bordering on Canon Discontinuity for just how out of character Worf acts.  And not without reason:  Worf basically comes to the point of letting Kor die a in as unwarrior-like a fashion as…

The mere existence of a reset button doesn't necessarily make it bad.  Like any tool in the writer's arsenal, it's bad only if it's used to poor effect.  If the ending to this show erased the entire story and made it so that it never happened, then I might feel the same as you do, but it doesn't.  Sisko remembers what…

That's the one.

Ooh, ooh, inappropriate sharing time!  I've got a story for this!

Eh, it should be appreciated for what it contributed to DS9, but it should still receives all the looks askance it gets for the way it handled plot, characterization and continuity on its own.  There actually is an excellent example of the difference between the two tucked into this review:  that scene between Garak…

This is nowhere near my favorite episode, but one thing I really did enjoy (and am actually a bit surprised not to see discussed) was how it really fleshes out a thoughtful feminist perspective on prostitution and a woman's control of oneself.

DS9 and Babylon 5 are very different shows, with correspondingly different strengths and weaknesses.  This should be obvious, but Fivers like to follow JMS in thinking that DS9 is just one big rip off of B5, and both DS9 and B5 really pioneered the transition from episodic formats to story arc formats, so this point…

I'm sorry, what?  The question of why Kirk or Picard is in the captain's chair was the theme of multiple episodes.  Heck, it's an underlying theme of Wrath of Khan.  Kirk is in command because that's what he's good at.  That's who he is, and if you take the command chair away from him, he ceases to be James T. Kirk. …
