i'm skipping all of the comments in fear of spoilers... but this is probably the most appropriate thread for my input.
i'm a long time trekkie. i've seen all of TOS, TAS, TNG, ENT, the movies, but missed both DS9&VOY.
recently, i caught up on a # of VOY season1 episodes. @first i thought i saw most of season1 sporadically over the years during syndicated UPN... but after watching, now, the first 11 episodes... i realized i've only seen the very first episode the Caretaker! i didn't watch any of the season1 while it was on the air! lol.
one thing i noticed is Janeway is very hawt. i luv the way she takes command of the ship >P. her performance gives the cast a "gravitas" much like TNG's stewart and DS9's avery did and even ENT's Bakula. i never really seen mulgrew's talents until i took a look at her performance. for many, many years i've read about how many trekkies dumped on VOY. & i kind of bought into it without really watching VOY myself closely... until now! boy are they wrong! i luv the skip and a hop taht janeway gives despite being 70k light years away. i also love that they really do miss home on a # of this first eps. janeway is really the emotional core/center of the series... very much UNLIKE the other male captains. u tend to feel more when u have a female lead vs. male lead.
barring, that i also loved the rest of the cast and how their relationships have evolved. harry&paris's friendship, the ma'quis trails and 'tribulation' if u will on being integrated into the ship. there's just so much more continuity than TNG/TOS era. i also loved the Doctor's rising humanity. just watched that beowulf ep. recently. very cool stuff =).
anyways, will be chiming in as soon as i start finishing episodes and seasons and so on =D.
