    Star Trek Voyager - A Thread for Fans

    Yup. As I have said in the past, the day is soon coming - if it is not already here - that modern audiences simply will not look at SD content anymore. Not to have HD masters is equivalent to abandoning the shows. And at a time when rumors are red hot that some kind of continuation will happen...

    They can remaster a 7-season show for the cost of 3-4 episodes of modern Trek and then have 175 episodes to stream exclusively on P+. That’s a good investment.

    I think so too, although I hope DS9 will happen first.

    The episode menu lets you choose chapter stops, and sound. Menus for TV shows don't do chapter stops for each episode anymore.

    Ah, welcome to ye olde days of DVD. If/when Voyager (and DS9) ever get remastered for blu-ray, that will change.

    I think all of the captains have been good. I don't think Brooks overacted much (he had his moments when the material didn't serve him well, but so did all of the actors). Mulgrew, as talented as she is, was consistently let down by the writers. Voyager had a great cast; I just wish they'd had...

    Star Trek Voyager - A Thread for Fans

    As I posted in the other thread (in the TV on DVD and Blu-Ray forum), the Voyager documentary indiegogo is live now. The producers of the DS9 documentary are making one about Voyager. (They also made For the Love of Spock, which was great too.) They raised an incredible amount of money in one...

    As pointed out a few times already, they could remaster seven seasons of Deep Space Nine (or Voyager) for the cost of less than two episodes of Discovery. Make CBS AA the exclusive streaming home for them and make a little extra cash from selling blu-rays. It can be done. Mike Okuda is on record...

    To be fair, that's a bit different. That was Nick Meyer's idea of a title for II. It's unlikely anyone thought of it again until Meyer was brought back for VI. (There is no indication Meyer wanted that title for his script of IV.) In the case of Nemesis, this was a title that Berman - the exec...

    Star Trek Voyager - A Thread for Fans

    I never liked that one. First of all, I disliked Voyager's one-word titles for nearly every episode. It made them seem generic. Also, I recall Rick Berman saying in 1996 or 1997 that he wanted the next TNG movie to be titled "Nemesis." "I think that's a great title for a film," he said. So when...

    Now we're talking! BTW, Adam, I confess that Voyager never really worked for me. It had moments, but overall, I could never get behind the series the way I have the others. That said, you mentioned a couple that I really did like: Prototype and Dreadnaught. I also always kinda liked The Thaw...

    I'm currently rewatching Deep Space Nine, so I can't help with Voyager (finished the Voyager DVDs - only for the first time - about two years ago). But if you have any questions on DS9, I'm your man! PS Enjoy!

    I agree that Mulgrew was very good. She looked more comfortable in the role in later seasons. I just wish the writers served her better. I still cringe at her "unexpected acts of kindness" speech.

    Oh, there are things to enjoy in Voyager, but the lack of skillful writing really is something I can't get past. The cast just isn't engaged in the same way the other casts are, including Enterprise. The premise of Voyager never worked for me - if their goal is to get home, why do they stop...

    Star Trek Voyager - A Thread for Fans

    I've been watching Voyager lately, mainly because my wife never saw it and wanted to. We just finished the 5th season, and I'm amazed at how much I stand by my original assessment that the show is very much a disappointment. The writers clearly didn't know what to do with many characters, and...

    I still can't believe I did this, but taking advantage of a very good sale over at DeepDiscount, I bought the complete Voyager set. It was the only Trek I didn't have. My wife and I have been enjoying all the other series and she convinced me to get it. The other thing that made me do it was...

    Star Trek Voyager - A Thread for Fans

    Speaking for myself, I can say that my negative opinion of Voyager is because of bad writing and wasted opportunity. I thought the writing on any given season of the show paled in comparison to the first three series, and the show never developed an identity or became very interesting, IMO. But...
