Janeway - worthy TREK Captain or not?

I also think it's aged better than TNG. Now I might change my mind again in another decade, but TNG is just too dated--and not in a good way (as in TOS).

Same here. TNG was great when it was on air, but it hasn't stood the test of time. The acting, the sets, the plots - there's a sort of stilted, artificial feel to it. I like TOS in small doses for the pure campiness. But who knows about Voyager, it's probably too early to say how well it'll do in the long run.
 
Yup, put me in the TNG has not aged well crowd as well. There are very, very few episodes that hold up well. At least IMHO.
 
Can you at least use a ball gag so the screaming doesn't overlap into other forums and they come in here to see what is going on.

Oh and to keep the thread on topic - Janeway was into bondage. She was a well known Dominatrix. Where as other TREK Captains exhibited no evidence of dom/sub/ B&D behaviors.

I'll bet she kept the Arachnia outfit just for that purpose.:lol:

dude I would love to have that outfit for myself
 
^The sign of the times, my friend. Wonder what it'll look like in 20 years?
True, true.

However, I find B5 to look way more dated than TNG.
Strangely enough, B5 looks more 80's with set & costume design even though it was filmed in the 90's.

I think TNG's now retro look fits with TOS retro and how designs come around again. Begin it started in a pre-Borg era, now Post-Borg and starfleet rethinking ship design, ENT-E now falls in line with Voyager. Seeing as how Starfleet ships are now not only made for exploration but combat as well. ENT-E & Voy. fit that new motif.

Speaking for myself, I don't see any real difference between the look of Voyager and TNG. So they used warmer colors on the TNG set and more metalic ones on the Voyager one, so what? :wtf: Most of the Voyager sets were built from the Ent-D ones, i.e. Sickbay, corridors, transporter room. A new coat of paint keeps them from being dated?!?!?!?

How does the Enterprise-D look like a luxery liner? I've been on cruises and they don't look anything like the Ent-D on the inside or the outside.

And I don't get how the TNG sets look 80s. I was a kid in the 80s and the one thing about them, artistically, was loud primary colors. Look at the Police synchronicity tourh, Cyndi Lauper videos, etc. It was all about loud clothes and colored hair, basically, post-modern art to an extreme.

The TNG sets imo, don't echo the 80s at all. The only thing that looks dated in TNG, imo, are some of the earlier (seasons 1 and 2) imo.

The inclusion of the ship's shrink, according to Ron Moore and Joe Menkosky, was something that makes TNG look dated, because therapy took off in the 80s, but as for the rest, I just don't see it.

The original show looks dated with its more primitive interfaces and some of the pulpier conventions (it did a great job of keeping what was great of the past with westerns and old adventure movies and looking towards the future imo), but, honestly, I don't see any big differences between TNG and VOY at all. IMO VOY was just TNG v2.

Re-read what I wrote.

I said B5 looked 80's, I didn't say anything about TNG looking like that.

Also don't be so extreme.;) Having a style that's 80's doesn't mean Culture Club is going to come on playing on the set.

voyager was much different than TNG. for one thing all the characters in Voy were much more interesting and complex, and the main point is that Voy didn't have starfleet covering their butts every episode. When Picard had a problem he could go crying to some admiral and get help. Voyager couldn't do that.

and how does this not scream 80s to you?
