The truth that no trekkie wants to admit: they don't take this stuff as seriously as you do.

Yeah the more I watched Voyager episodes, I got the sense that episode scripts were just pushed just to get them on the air. Even if the episode has a good idea but the execution of it was sub-par. As in 'Ehh, that's good enough'.
I got nothing to say here.

I think the camp fire story of Voyager got me the most angry, due these scripts aren't grown on trees, if you are wasting time with characters talking gibberish that try to be consist. Otherwise you should have use that time for character or world building.

Ron Moore had a massive interview where he explained the writing room was hell for the various attitudes present. One of them being was that a large chunk of the writers hated the concept of voyager and just wished they could be writing TNG (and kept submitting their own TNG scripts with the names changed)Thebestoftherest wrote: ↑Fri Oct 25, 2024 12:33 am I think the camp fire story of Voyager got me the most angry, due these scripts aren't grown on trees, if you are wasting time with characters talking gibberish that try to be consist.
