    I liked #DS9. It wasn’t just one big happy Starfleet crew. The interplay was infinitely more interesting for it.

    By contrast, I hated #Voyager because even though there should have been tension between the combined Starfleet and Maquis crews, they ruthlessly and relentlessly suppressed even the slightest appearance of it. Also, I didn’t think much of Kathryn Janeway’s philosophy.

    But for these very reasons, most fans seemed to love Voyager and hate DS9.

      @benfell @ValueSubtracted I loved Voyager as a kid, but I was 11 when it ended so 🤷‍♂️. Rewatching it now is hard because most episodes leave me with the feeling of missed potential. While it didn’t need to be as serialised as DS9 ended up, paying a bit more attention to continuing character threads or subplots across episodes or seasons would have made it a much stronger series. We joke about the torpedo count, but it’s a symptom of how little care Voyager took to developing its story.
