Voyager sucked big time :-(

It was not just getting home. Most of the episodes you could not tell the ship
was moving at all. They kept facing the same creatures and enemies as if they
were standing on the same sector they had started the series in.

The creators of the series had said that they wanted the series to ve about a
ship coming home in order to force the crew to face different creatures and
challenges on the way (and prevent lazy writing). I think they didn start
including any variety until half the show had already aired.

They did something right by killing Neelix, though. Too bad they resurrected
him.
