I have finished watching Star Trek Next Generation and Deep Space 9 following a friend's recommendation. I enjoyed both shows and started watching the other one, Star Trek Voyager.

So far, I'm not finding it as enjoyable as the other two. I want to try to see it through the eyes of someone who enjoys the show, maybe it will also help me understand why it feels different somehow.

Not a fan of anything past DS9 either. Voyager by it's nature was too far removed from the familiar setting of the original/TNG and the ever simmering political tension between the Federation/Klingons/Romans.

The main characters in Voyager were also not terribly compelling. I personally found lots of side characters in TNG like Barclay and O'Brien were just way more interesting than relatively forgettable main characters in Voyager like Harry Kim, Chakotay, or Torres.

Towards the end they entirely leaned too far into tired borg shit. But hey it was was good for star trek related memes at least :>

There are people who like the Romulans? Wild.

What do you expect, they list Barclay as an interesting character.
