THE ROSES ALL HAVE LEFT YOUR CHEEKS, I'VE WATCHED THEM FADE AWAY AND DIE
While I understand where you are coming from, it would be interesting to take a count of the number of different people we see serving on Voyager.
Voyager's crew complement was 141. Did we see 141 people? Of course, we don't know how many were killed in "Caretaker", nor do we have an exact count of how many from Chakotay's ship nor the Equinox came over and served on Voyager.
Still, I would not be surprised if the total number of individual actors serving as Voyager crew fit within 141 to 200ish total.
Worf and Ezri's brief attempt to rekindle the romance was supposed to be cringeworthy. That was the point.
I liked Ezri the character and de Boer's portrayal. Better than decent, and better than Jadzia in season 6.
I share the disappointment that they didn't get to use any existing footage of Jadzia in the finale though.
The crew total shifted around frequently. In "CARETAKER", we know for a fact they lost at the very minimum 7 crewmembers... Lt. Stadi, Lt. Cmdr. Cavit (XO), CMO, nurse, chief engineer, chief transporter, and astrogation (I believe was the term used).
In late season 3, crew compliment was 148. ("DISTANT ORIGIN" and "DISPLACED" gave thus total.)
5 people from the Equinox came over permanently, though were never seen again.
I don't have time at the moment, but I can give a think about the crew losses from season 4 onward later tomorrow. (Might even make a thread, unless one was already made.)
Correct me if I’m wrong. Did they not age the Picard character 10 years so that he could be 90 instead of 80 at the beginning of Star Trek Picard. Patrick Stewart was about 47 when TNG aired. That’s a good age to take lead of the flagship. It bugs me.
Also, I don’t like the direction that was taken for Gowron by the end of DS9. I think he should have been more of a hero. I don’t know if it’s a problem, but it bugs me.

He played Picard as at around 60 in the first season (+/- 2-3 years).
If that’s true, then I’ve been way off for years. If it’s true, Picard was 51 when his first command; the Star Gazer ended. He commanded Star Gazer for over twenty years? Stewart was born in 1940, making him 47 when they rolled out the show. I suppose I’ve been way off for years. I remember thinking about Picard’s age when I actually turned 47. I hate to say it’s been more than a few years since. Oh well.
On what are you basing that? I see no evidence for him playing Picard as any older than Stewart was at the time.
The absolute worst of that was Janeway. It only needed her authorization.
Completely stupid idea. At minimum there should be two: the captain and XO.
I've always rationalized that by virtue of the computer somehow knowing Cavitt was dead and Janeway not having the authority to add Chakotay, given he'd be in the computer records as a Maquis. Not claiming it's a perfect rationalization, as even if she couldn't add Chakotay I'd think she'd be able to add Tuvok, but ultimately there's no really good answer unless you simply assume that as a smaller vessel Voyager had more lax protocols in this regard.
Even the Defiant required the captain and XO to set auto destruct ("THE ADVERSARY"). And she's much smaller than Voyager.
IIRC, the novels have placed the Stargazer's last mission as a few weeks before Picard's 50th birthday.
That falls apart when you take into account that Cathexis (an episode from S1) has as a critical plot point the fact that the only ones on the ship who can eject the warp core are Janeway and Chakotay. Granted, later Voyager episodes, as well as the franchise in general would ignore that, given we have Day of Honor or Insurrection where B'Elanna and Geordi eject the warp core without authorization from above, but what's another inconsistency in Star Trek?
(shrugs) As I said, it's not a perfect rationalization.
Though I'd counter-argue that with regard to Defiant, while it is a smaller ship, it's also obviously not a science vessel, so I could see it being designed with more enhanced security protocols.
Agreed it doesn't make a ton of sense that the Chief Engineer doesn't have the authority to eject the warp core. What if Engineering can't establish communications with the bridge mid-crisis?

What if he can or what if there is no emergency and the Chief has been compromised or is just plain disenfranchised and decides to do it?
What if the captain has been compromised or is just plain disenfranchised and decides to do it?
Trek has made it pretty clear that anyone can become compromised at any time.
What if Janeway is taken over by a noncorporeal lifeform and decides to blow up the ship?
With no second code or authenticator, the crew is dead immediately. Even if Voyager is more a scout or science ship, there should be a minimum of two voices saying, "Let's self-destruct."
