After seeing each Star Trek series, and talking it over with several of my friends, I have come to a conclusion.
Voyager is amazing even by Trek standards, and is sadly underrated.
Many of the people I've spoken with dislike it because they don't like Janeway. All I can say is, if I only watched shows where the captain or main character was my favorite, I'd watch a lot less TV, and read a lot more.
All of the characters, whether likable or not, are extremely realistic. The character of Naomi Wildman manages to be cute without seeming dull, while all of the adults from Tom to Chakotay reminded me of someone I know.
The realism, which I cannot emphasize enough, is astounding, while the plots are original, and the interactions are funny.
I loved Voyager, partly because its so strange. The characters are not afraid to admit that what's going on isn't normal, and when something happens several times, they point it out.
Like everything, it has its bad episodes, and one or two characters that I can't bring myself to be attached to. But even while its being funny, I can still see the characters' bravery in facing their situation.
Not everyone gets along, and they all have their little quirks, which makes the seven-year solo trip to the Delta Quadrant as entertaining as it is meaningful.
