Star Trek: Voyager was the fourth Star Trek series and the third to take place in the Star Trek: The Next Generation-anchored 24th century.
There were several aspects of the series that made it incredibly compelling and positioned it to go down in history as one of the franchise's best. Kate Mulgrew had been cast as the first female captain and the ship itself was to be blasted far away from Federation space allowing for the first truly final frontier to be explored since The Original Series. Also, Voyager was set to be crewed by both Maquis and Starfleet officers, making opportunities for intra-crew conflict plentiful -- a welcome change from the relatively peaceful relationships that populated previous series.
Unfortunately, when it came down to execution, Voyager delivered in a way that most would call divisive. It abandoned much of the darkness inherent in its original premise in favor of heavy conflict with the Borg and a pristine feel to the ship when it wasn't a sweeps month or season finale.
That said, once expectations are managed, it's still a very good show and has a ton to offer from wonderful performances to trenchant philosophical debate to so, so much Borg.
But it's also fun to point out some of the more eyebrow-raising moments we got during the show's seven year run (and what Star Trek series doesn't have a few of those?).
Here are 25 Things Wrong With Voyager Fans Choose To Ignore.
