I actually meant adding a "wee little puppet man" to the cast (it would work best if he were also a vampire) or perhaps filming the show using "Supermarionation".
But Muppets would be cool. Muppets are cool!
Can u think of a stunt which would've doubled the ratings?

Double the ratings not send them into M.A.S.H. final episode territory.
First part would be OK but muppets are not cool in S.F. The Muppet targ in S.F.S. Made me want to puke almost as much as Doc Brown pretending to be a Klingon.
Worf transferring to VOY after DS9 ended.

That's a start. How about we turn most antagonistic attention toward the Klingons again while we're at it! Martok is still pissed off about Sisko and Ross declining to drink with him so he sends a whole fleet of ships deep into the Delta Quadrant with insert-contrived-mechanic-here technology. His target? The Borg.
Janeway must forge an alliance with the Borg (already done that, you say? Bah, who cares!) in order to repel their common threat.
I think it's going to work.
I like a bit left to my imagination.
Maybe Seven still has Borg Implants on her nipples that look like tassels?
However, I always got the impression that Voyagers stock audience was female, so a gratuitous lesbian scene would most likely more than halve the ratings, as suddenly women and children would not feel comfortable or be allowed to watch the show anymore.
Imagine...
What if Janeway and her crew, met the Tellytubbies?

How about an episode where the Enterprise E shows up, under the command of Jean Luc Picard, and the BORG Queen kills him and Riker.
Janeway takes command of the Enterprise, Chakotay takes Command of Voyager, and the two together kill the Queen?
Voyager returning home a few seasons early... the whole concept was going against the show to begin with. A SINGLE ship outside the Federation... that's only passable if its the Ent-D or Ent-E and only for an episode at a time. Most Star Trek fans just care less about this ship out in the unknown. It would be more interesting actually seeing what happens when Voyager returns home early from some new tech and how the Federation debriefs them. What does section 31 get their hands on? What happens after the Dominion? How does the crew (besides Torres) really react to missing a war where many citizens have perished? What happens to Seven of Nine? The Doctor? Are the Maquis members court martialed? How is Paris received by his father? They had a bunch of stuff they could have tackled
I would have watched every episode if they advertised that. even if it never happened.
Thay tackled almost all of these things in the post finale novels
-Having the "Year of Hell" season as was originally proposed.
-A mystery arc that begins by showing the death of Janeway and three episodes that cover the lead up to it. Obviously the "reset switch" would come into play and Janeway wouldn't actually die, but it would come at a cost of some sort like maybe another one of the characters being killed in her place. This would then continue throughout the season where Janeway would feel that she have been the one to die and her reluctance in similar scenarios and a diminshed command confidence would be a recurring plot.
-"Equinox" spanning more than just two episodes. Perhaps a story arc with an ongoing chase. Voyager will be searching Equinox whilst trying to repair some of the damage left behind by the reneage crew. The murders for fuel concept would be solved in the first two episodes and from then on it would be about Equinox trying to find alternative methods of getting home. This would culminate at the end of the season where Voyager would track Equinox to a region of Borg space where we find out that Equinox has stolen transwarp technology and this was enough to catch the Borg's attention (they became interested in finding out how they managed to pull it off undetected). It would be revealed that the crew landed and hid on a planet to study the technology and evade the Borg however, this led the Borg to assimilate the world (which they wouldn't have considered before) in order to find the location of the ship.
Voyager would have been reluctantly forced together to work with the Equinox in order to fight off the Borg and it would end with "Unimatrix Zero". In this scenario it would be Ransom instead of Tuvok and he would actually remain assimilated as opposed to escaping. His reappearance would be a factor in the finale too.

Maybe more guys would tune into Voyager if Seven was a little more clumsy and had to bend down to pick up her padds once in a while. Personally I would be more than happy with the old spice man being added in as a new character.
One of my ideas for a Strange New Worlds story I submitted (and got rejected) dealt with a mirror universe Voyager that was sent to the Delta Quadrant to annihilate the Borg Euphoria.
Essentially, the Borg were space hippies that traveled around in giant smiley-face ships spreading happiness throughout the quadrant.
Seems kinda stupid, now that I reflect on it
Nevertheless, I may have to see if I can drudge it up. (If I can remember what I did with it)

I see the winky smilie, but this is my problem with Seven.
Not Jeri's magnificent performance, not the writing, not the costume, not her ongoing story arcs, not her monopolization of the screen time as the rest of the cast is put out to pasture but that at first principles (Actually at first principles, Braga wanted a dude.) that "they think" that I will do anything to worship a nice pair of boobs in a shiny bodysock they put square in the camera frame.
It's patronizing to my entire gender.
I understand that they serve food at Hooters now.
A massive episode where Chakotay, Kim and Neelix are all killed off and replaced with interesting characters.
Or Janeway wakes up at the end of Season 6 and realises it was all a dream. Season 7 is then about the crew going about in the Alpha Quadrant, as though none of the previous six serious happened. This would mean: no Seven, no Neelix, EMH relegated to the occassional cameo, Cavit and Stadi still on the Bridge, Chakotay and Torres still with the Maquis or locked away in prison (along with Paris).
