Do you prefer the first or second half of Voyager?

[Relayer1]

The early seasons were awful. Most Trek shows start off below par and improve (yes, even Enterprise improved by season 4), but Voyager was pretty poor at the start.

It reached a peak if watchable and enjoyable in its later seasons, but was always a lame duck...

what is this blasphemy i don't even

There were some real positives - Robert Picardo for instance...

This episode was one of my favourites from the early seasons

Absolutely outstanding performance from Mulgrew

Life is full of sad stories, we can't all have joy JadziaDax.

I realized that after "Scorpion#2".

There there Lynx. Kes will live on in your heart forever.

...and fan fiction, if you're into that kind of thing!

I didn't care for caretaker that much but the first half had tons of gems... the tuvok stranded with kids ep, the suder plotline, the one where the doctor makes a holographic family, plus the dinosaur one which I like for some reason. I'd pick the first half. But there's a lot of good ones later on too.

Perhaps unfair for me to cast my vote, as I've only watched seasons 1-2 and some of 3 (and a couple of episodes from season 4)... but I voted for seasons 1-3, mainly cause I felt Voyager had so much potential in those early episodes that - through season 2 and beyond, was never realised.

 

[Isolinear]

Season 4-7 for sure. More awesome episodes. S1-3 had some of that TNG S6-7 averageness.

Yes! I loved the Suder plotline. I wish he were still around. Weird since he was a total psychopath but I dunno, very interesting character. I'd say the earlier episodes provoked a wider range of emotions in me. The latter episodes typically leave me feeling indifferent or angry.

There are three Kes stories to be found at the Kes Website!

I find much of seasons 5-7 to be unwatchable. Seasons 1-4 showed a lot of promise, even if it wasn't on the same level as TNG or DS9, but the show started to fall apart for me after that.

 

[SPCTRE]

I don't mind the first half (a lot of good episodes in there), but if you were to put a gun to my head, I'd go with the second.

 

[ialfan]

There's probably a good season worth of episodes I really enjoyed in the first three seasons versus three times that in the last four seasons.

This reminds me though there are probably a handful of episodes in the early seasons I don't think I've ever seen. Might be nice to have some "new" episodes to watch sometime soon.

 

[Tosk]

Some of the episodes I liked most fell in the 4-7 range, but I still preferred seasons 1-3 overall.
