[Jetfire]

What are some of Voyager's greatest contributions to Star Trek(Trek Universe).

1. Great crew of characters.
2. Species 8472
3. 7 Of 9(She really deserves her own kudos)

 

[Pemmer Harge]

The Vidiians
Species 8472
Seska
The Doctor
Seven of Nine

A female captain!

 

[Gary Mitchell]

7 of 9's catsuit

lines like: "get this cheese to sickbay!".
great opening sequence

 

[Thestral]

A female captain!

Rachel Garrett, savior of the Federation, would like a word with you. Tryla Scott, Silva La Forge, and future-Beverly-Crusher also await.


My answers:
1. 8472
2. Intrepid-class Starships
3. the EMH

That's the top 3 anyway.

Not to mention the captain of the Saratoga an STIV (who looks a little like Silva La Forge) and Erica Benteen.

I'm a tech-head so I'll say:

Intrepid-class Starship
EMH
Quantum Slipstream Drive
Borg Transwarp Hub
Think Tank
Seven of Nine
Prometheus-class Starship

I thought of Saratoga's captain and Phillipa Louvois ("Measure of a Man") as well, but wanted to keep it to three.

Erica Benteen post-dates Janeway's IRL introduction, but she's excellent too. And of course Erika Hernandez.

And of course there's the Romulan Commander ("Charvanek" in some sources), Sela, and Toreth, for some non-Fed examples. And in TrekLit, wellll... we'll start with Kira Nerys and Ezri Dax.

Perhaps I should clarify--a female captain as the star of the show.

Better?!?

 

[Brit]

I'll even go one step farther

Kathryn Janeway
Commander Chakotay

and then the rest of the crew.

Fair enough. (Though I'd still take Captain Garrett as my CO. )

-Intrepid class starships (small but powerful, and quite the looker)
-Higher top speeds
-Captain Janeway
-Seven

 

[Kai Winn]

THE DOCTOR. in capital letters because no one tops him. seven. janeway. the warmth and heart which i missed in th other franchises.

 

[Lynx]

1. Kes

2. The other main characters

3. The premise for the show

4. Seska and Culluh

5. Henry Starling

 

[USS Triumphant]

In my opinion, Voyager's greatest (?!) contribution was in poorly written stories that took Star Trek far enough off the rails that no more really good Trek could be made without a semi-reboot of the franchise. Which resulted in the excellent movie earlier this year.

So, um, right on, Voyager! Yeah....

I did kinda like the Voth, Species 8472 (before the writers immediately turned around and neutered them), the concept of the EMH, and the design of the Delta Flyer.

 

[ChaosAngel]

seven, the doctor and cookin that makes me appreciate rice and sausage gruel. oh and female coffee-addict captain

Ha! Not sure I would say greatest, but I can't in good conscience completely disagree.

As for what I do think VOY's greatest contributions are:

-the doctor. Picardo was a god among men in that cast.

Species 8472 (before the writers immediately turned around and neutered them)

-Uh...I'm sure there are others. I WOULD say a female captain TV show lead, but she was kind of a pretty bad character ultimately. She could be a delusional loony, an idiot, a brilliant leader, a badass, etc....depending what writer was onboard and what the script required. Every episode was a damned roulette. Will Janeway be crazy? Stupid? Cool? Place your bets!

I was inspired by the Equinox and her Captain Ransom.

And of course the show has some great characters and actors.
