Janeway is a terrible captain because she always chooses the solution that will most likely end in death or injuries to her crew. She got her crew stuck in the Delta Quadrant and destroyed a way for them to get home. And worst of all, she made Nellix a senior officer. That is a fate worse that death.

Yep. I hate them both. Janeway worshipped the Prime Directive like it was a god, even thou they are light-years away from Federation space and they need to do anything to get home and help her crew survive. Neelix just pisses me off. Those are the only two Star Trek characters I hate.
Yeah.. It always amazes me when people keep watching a show they don't like.. and then complain about it.
For myself, I have a simple rule : I don't watch shows I don't like.
Good for you, but really, don't you think hating those characters is a bit harsh?
I admit there are some characters in Trek I dislike (Wesley Crusher coming to mind, and Vic Fontaine), but even those characters have at some point some redeeming qualities. I would never go as far as hating them.
Ah! At last something we agree on.
To be fair on Janeway, I don't think she was a bad captain I just don't think she was a great captain. Picard and Sisko were great captains, Kirk was a piss-poor captain but he had a charm that makes me like him anyway, and Archer... it has been too long since I've seen Enterprise for me to judge, but I remember he was better in seasons 3 & 4.Maybe she didn't have time to time the timers.
Seriously though, that was just bad writing as far as I'm concerned.
That's the trouble with these kind of stories : it was already decided from the start that Voyager would remain in the DQ for the full seven seasons, but I agree they could have come up with a better plot. This one, granted, made her look bad.
Janeway just beats out Picard for me. Kirk has sentimental value - Mum grew up on him so she made sure me and my sister saw early Trek. He's my third favourite.
Sisko and DS9 I've never been able to get into that much. I first watched it at the same time I first watched Babylon 5, and for me B5 blew DS9 out of the water. It's had the "poor cousin" vibe ever since.
Have never seen Enterprise, so can't comment on Archer. Though I have to say, Sam Beckett has probably put me off Scott Bakula for life.

Oh come on, this isn't really a scientific survey anyway. This is just supposed to be fun. I wouldn't take it too seriously.
Nah! Kirok is my ex-husband. You're not Kirok, erastus. He can tell you no one has taken over any member's body, that is just the way it is among Janeway fans.
To be honest, as an ENT fan when I saw this poll my first thought was "The only way Archer or Janeway will get a bunch of votes is if a fanatic fan creates a bunch of accounts to stuff the ballot box." And then what do I see, Janeway with a bunch of votes.
Yes, it is just for fun, and somewhat funny. Gave me a chuckle.
Not saying that it happened, but given the flack that VOY and Janeway get a lot of people have to be thinking the same thing. You do know the Enterprise Fan Club motto. "It could be worse. It could be Voyager."
Ooh, that's nasty! I like it.
OMG. You are reaching. Why is it so disturbing that some find Janeway the best? What does it take away from you?
