Could Equinox have turned Voyager around?

If he was to committed to his "change the premise as time goes on" thing, he'd have found a way to keep the Pegasus.

That’s just silly. The show was about the deterioration of the titular ship and its crew until they find a new home. It wasn’t about finding a new ship that makes things better.

And finding a new ship to work with is a reasonable thing to do in the story, but Moore couldn't stick to his guns and had to reset things.

Just like how he always reverted and made Roslin President again, or Adama the Fleet Commander again.

Like I said, that’s because the show wasn’t about the Pegasus. And since it sounds like we’re talking in circles here (and quite frankly I find your justifications for Moore’s ‘bad’ choices to be pretty flimsy), I think I’ll just conclude this conversation here.

In fact, I'll use a TOS example. The original Enterprise is destroyed in Star Trek 3 and they take over the Klingon ship...and then at the end of Star Trek 4 they get a new ship of the exact same class type as the Enterprise to have adventures in.

Well, to one poster's point Voyager reflected TNG and TOS and was episodic, meant for easy viewing not complex stories.
