At the time, there was some griping about Voyager being weaker than TNG, and IN a few ways, I agreed (at that time). However, for the most part I disagreed, usually quite vehmently, and my support was borne out in the long run. Seven of Nine is surely one of the most memorable ST characters, and a great deal of the Borg mythology was worked out during the series. And the few flaws in the original season were more or less subsequently corrected with some bold moves. Sure, the silliness of the spongeheaded Kazon won't be forgotten soon, but neither will most of the characters the were encountered. And surely during the run, there was more of a TOS feel then with any of the other series. Janeway is easily the third best of the Captains, and the Voyager crew became family like no other series since TOS. And as much as I love a great many things about TNG, it's Voyager that I most often want to go back and re-watch.
