Janeway's Ethics

The dominion war.

1/2 their class mates were dead, the other half had been promoted 3 or four grades.

With inexperienced kids commanding star ships.....

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

Mainly because they never showed us that this crew were experiencing things that were significantly worse than the average crew. Another legitimate criticism of the show.

It would have been nice to have seen more emotional trauma, conflict, strain but we didn't get any of that (even with the Maquis element). Everyone just knuckled down and grit their teeth.

I think we got a depression episode with B'Elanna (but that was apparently more about the deaths of her Maquis friends) and as I've said before, the only time we saw Janeway exhibit signs of pressure was in the actual pressure episodes and of course, "Night."

It should have been significantly harder/worse for them but that just never came across.

After Voyager's return to the AQ there were people (Starfleet officers of different ranks according to the Voyager relaunch) who claimed, that Voyager missed the Dominion War while being stuck in the DQ and therefore the crew was better off. It was before the Borg showed up again (Destiny). From this moment on they weren't really better off than the people who already went through the Dominion War.

The books really fell over themselves making everyone's lives shit and wiping out literally billions of people.
