There seems to be a few threads here that are about how much people (fans) disliked Star Trek Voyager. I want to post a thread for those of us that actually liked the series.
I was unable to watch most of this series when it was being aired because I didn’t have UPN. Because of this, and the negative things I have heard, I didn’t plan on buying the series on DVD. After all, $100 per season is a lot of money.
One day I happened to notice that a certain e-tailer had the entire series on sale for $385. This was about half of what the other series cost (They have since raised the price to $485 – guess it was a mistake). I went ahead and ordered it, and I have been pleasantly surprised, and glad that I did.
To me, this series was very different than the sterile, rigid, Next Generation series. I think a lot of the negative opinions of Voyager were because it was different. The fans didn’t like change. I was getting tired of the same old villains and rules, and was in the mood for the Star Trek world to expand. Voyager allowed this to be possible.
Right now I am a few discs in to Season 6. I have enjoyed the ride so far and am looking forward to them getting home. I did see the finale few episodes when they aired, so I know the ending, but now that I will have watched the whole series, I will be able to enjoy the finale even more I hope.
Are there any other people here that liked this series?
