VOY vs ENT, The Showdown!
- Thread starter Mach5
- Start date
Voyager has one amazing character in the doctor, and has had a lot of mediocre episodes and some really amazing ones here and there. I haven't seen much of ENT, but from what I have seen, I have the distinct impression that VOY is better than ENT is capable of being.
Voyager had better characters, but Enterprise had better episodes. Its Enterprise, but only just.
It shouldn't be close but Voyager's extremely marginal sixth and seveth seasons make it really competitive.
Ent. As "meh" as some of the characters could be, at least they weren't retreads(T'Pol being the exception). It also had a narrative, story arcs, and continuity. None of the episodes were amazing, but they were usually decent.
Voyager was very hit and miss. It had some of the best episdoes of any Trek show. It also had some of the most mediocre and just plain terrible episodes. And the bad tended to out number the good. Characters, many themes, and stories tended to be retreads of things we've seen many times before in Trek. There was really no sense of a narrative or continuity in both character and story. It was typical, by-the-numbers, 24th century Star Trek. And rarely did it deviate from this.
So I'll go with Ent. Which, if it had continued, probably would have gotten better and better with Manny Cotto at the helm.

For all its faults, ENT was still better than VOY.
Enterprise was at least mostly consistant in both intra-series continuity and character development. Voyager's "facts" were all over the map. Voyager also depended too much on techobabble and ex deus mechania endings. When Enterprise was damaged, it remained so into the next episode until there was time to repair it. It didn't magically regenerate hull plating, torpedoes or shuttles by the next episode.
Vote goes to Enterprise.

Have to go with Enterprise for many of the reasons already mentioned. Voyager always seemed so rushed, if that makes sense. It just felt like they had to one up the previous series instead of just trying to concentrate on the stories and writing. Enterprise had some iffy episodes, but all series do. Too bad it didn't get a few more seasons. We might have seen a motion picture set in their era instead of the current one.
ENT. Got me excited about Star Trek again.
A year ago I would have said Voyager. Now I'm starting to gradually agree with this more and more.
ENT.
Season three provided a compelling season which was something eluded VOY and season four of ENT was highly entertaining which a VOY season had trouble doing.

Enterprise. It's more watchable on average than Voyager.
Enterprise has a slew of ok episodes, with a few good ones, while Voyager has a slew of mind-numbingly mediocre episodes with a few good ones.
