What does bother me about Captain Janeway is how willingly she goes along with her future self at first. 'Temporal Prime Directive' assumed she wasn't bonkers in the future, blah blah blah. Okay. But then she finds out that her plan is to get the crew home early, that it's not some special 'save the future universe' mission, and then somehow Admiral Kathy convinces her to go along with it? 'Have our cake and eat it too?'
Hell no. That's completely inconsistent.
This is the woman who blew up the crew's only way home to uphold the Prime Directive for a two races she had never before encountered and never would have again had they gone home, yet she's okay with altering countless billions of lives in countless unforeseen ways, specifically those closest to her?
Ridiculous. She wouldn't do that, at least the Janeway depicted for the vast majority of the series, wouldn't. She has her ups and downs, but she's generally consistent in her Starfleet non-interference principles except for a few choice situations that I won't go into.
This is an excellent example of Janeway's inconsistency. Another glaring example is Tuvix--her treatment of the "transporter mistake" as an anomalous creature rather than a sentient being. Was she caught in the suppression of uncontrollable anger? Didn't really feel it.
And yes, that whole thing during "Year of Hell" about bailing out in lifepods... STUPID. It's a death sentence. You can't land on a planet with those things! What was that all supposed to prove? To exemplify that the "captain goes down with the ship" mentality was in Janeway? We already knew how devoted she was. These writers were SO SCREWED UP and for the producers not to get these mistakes ironed out is criminal to the integrity of Star Trek.
This is the kind of stuff that makes it very difficult for me to appreciate the series as a whole. I like specific episodes
a lot. There are some great gems inside the Voyager series. But the violations of established character traits, of the Star Trek time line, and of Star Trek principles disturbed me greatly. In any sci-fi series, there must always be a reasonable level of plausibility... otherwise, you can't hone a solid fan base.
The writers took liberties to create 'interesting' perspectives of character personalities at the expense of 'plausible behavior' and actions. I
detest that. TOS and TNG had some of it... TOS was Star Trek in its infancy, so it can be excused for inconsistencies--heck, it was building 'the universe' to begin with. Roddenberry didn't know
where it was really going to go. TNG made some mistakes for the sake of ratings and formula, but nothing too far out of left field. DS9 was about on the same level. But Voyager went spinning out of control... They played it like TNG when it should
never have been. This is a vessel cut off from the Federation and no chance to 'fully renew' the ship and crew at the start of a new episode (unless we get a voiceover update of how many months passed after Voyager stopped on a planet to effect repairs, trade for whatever resources, etc--you can't just assume things).
Anyway... if there's one thing I'm thankful for, it's the EMH character. Picardo was superbly entertaining. His character contributed so much to Voyager... I'd venture to say even more so than Seven.
I don't know why that would bother anyone actually, as those kinds of lists are fun to make and read but they don't really comment on the quality of the programs included (or not as the case may be) - and they can't take away the enjoyment that fans of this or that series felt; they just reflect the views of those posting them...and that's fine. More power to them. I make lists about pointless stuff all the time. 
It's part of my charm. I hope. lol
