Yes, with lines like “The only Klingon I’m afraid of is my wife after she’s worked a double shift,” and “The Borg wouldn’t know fun if they assimilated an amusement park,” Voyager sure had some top-notch writing…

Seriously, though, that might be the thing I hated most about Voyager, that the jokes were awful, and often mean-spirited.

After seven years of the crew constantly whining out how awful Neelix was, how annoying the Doctor was, how angry Torres was, and how uptight Tuvok was, expecting us to laugh, instead it just sank in, preventing any of the characters from developing into something more than a 1-dimensional caricature.

Worse, they actually tried to make Star Trek boring with all the jokes about how stereotypical everyone else was, too. Ferengi, Borg, Klingons, Vulcans, etc., the show wouldn’t shut up about how it thought everything in Star Trek was dumb and one-note.

Yeah, this seems like a desperate leap of speculation, or even link-bait. Not cool.
