Poll Who Was Voyager's Best Writer?

[Planet of the Daves]

Because the list of writers on Voyager was extensive, I decided to poll those with at least 6 teleplay credits. Please let me know if I missed anyone.

For each writer I have listed a couple episode titles they've written. Here's a helpful list of their complete credits: https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/VOY_writers

Write-in vote for Ronald D Moore. He was only on staff for a short time and only has one script to his credit, but it is my favorite episode of the show.

My favourite Voyager writer is Brannon Braga & Joe Menosky.

Separately they wrote stories like Emanations, Cathexis, Cold Fire, False Profits, Darkling and so on. According to IMDb votes they've written the worst (The Fight) and the second worst (Threshold) episodes of the entire series.

Together though, they wrote Future's End, Distant Origin, Scorpion, Year of Hell, Living Witness, Hope and Fear, Night, The Killing Game, Timeless, Dark Frontier, Equinox, and more. That's not a bad set of episodes!

I can't vote for either of them on their own though, sorry.

Maybe I should have done best writing teams!

I don't have a favorite among them because I think their work were too uneven.

Some of them could come up with masterpieces like Cold Fire, Persistence Of Vision, Caretaker, Basics, Future's End, Warlord, The Swarm, Tuvix, Jetrel, Fair Trade and so on.

And then we had total flops like Emanations, Elogium, Real Life, The Gift, Endgame, Mortal Coil, Fair Haven, Spirit Folk, Message In A Bottle, Homestead........not to mention that episode in season 6.

I guess the poll wasn't necessary.

I like Brannon's stuff a lot and is kind of what I think of when I think of Voyager's "style," but I have favourites by a lot of the writers, so I dunno. Pass.
