Fans, what don't you like about VOY?

Obviously I can only speak for myself but I must admit that I was seriously offended by the fact that Janeway was not born with a penis. Lets be honest here, women are not real people and despite Roddenberry's idealism we all know that they will never hold positions of real power, except maybe as moderators on a Star Trek board. It was ridiculous and offensive that the creators of Voyager expected us to believe that a woman could captain a starship, only men can do that sort of thing. Women should know their place in society and that place is in the kitchen replicating my dinner.
So every time that you see me complaining about continuity issues, failure to live up to premise, poorly developed characters, reliance upon technobabble as plot resolution and writing that just didn't suit my tastes, you can relax in the knowledge that those are all just excuses to hide my deep-rooted misogyny.
And for those who don't know me well, everything I wrote above is pure horse manure. I don't like being accused of sexism, I don't believe I've ever said or done anything which qualifies me for that title, except maybe when I was ten and saw a sex scene in some movie and was confused as to how a woman could be on top.
If you're thinking moderators hold any real power then guess again...
No, I'm still building my private army. It should come in handy some day.
I bet it's an army entirely of women so us men don't have anything to worry about.
You are incorrect.
Voyager had the best premise, the best characters, excellent actors and an ardent and loyal fanbase.
...........and the worst possible writers and producers.
That about covers it.
Overuse and trivialization of the borg.
B'elana's ability to always repair the ship week in week out after it gets smashed up
Janeway seeking out trouble
Janeway's attitude in the Equinox

Then I guess you've never experanced NYC's 42st. before the tyrany of former Mayor Rudy Giuliani.
Yes, suddenly we all miss sexually questionable Ed Koch.
My big problem with Voyager comes from recently reading The Voyager story Places of Exile in the first Myriad Universes Trade.
The problem you ask is simple. Places of Exile is what we should have got because it was so much better, we get character development no reset button, and a Janeway who isn't nuts must of the time, not to mention that in the story the Voyager crew actually makes a pretty big difference in the Delta Quandrant.

Voy frequently suffered from shallow writing.
I think if Trek remained on syndicated TV they could have.
Voyager wouldn't of had the pressure of being this Trek that supports a new network and it would have kept it non-ratings based........or I should say, non-major network ratings based. I think it would have allowed the show to creatively grow without TPTB banking everything on it.
Well, even with NuBSG they didn't really change up the sets that much. It's just the lighting and camera techniques that made it seem that way without really doing anything.
That and changing the CGI ship view by adding a lot of outer damage.
