I wholeheartedly agree with everything you said, EXCEPT that they’re not that different. I think most of the shows have a very unique tone, especially when you go from TNG to DS9, but unless I’m mistaken DS9 was intended to be “different”.
Maybe a few of the new ones are pretty similar, that’s for sure. But the older ones? Nah.
But I’m not looking for an echo of what I just said, so by all means if anyone wants to disagree with me, by all means! I don’t get a chance to talk about trek outside of the internet and I’d love to hear other takes on them.
Edit: and only after posting did I realize you meant the FANS aren’t that different, but you do go on to say the shows are pretty consistent so I’ll leave this here.
100% agree with Voyager. I think Picard would handle things with more restraint, and probably would have taken an additional few years to get home, but really it’s “exploration… with a twist”
I don’t know if we would have gotten protosalamander babies in tng, but then again we got sub rosa so…
She was absolutely between a rock and a hard place. You have a responsibility to get everyone home, but you can’t just dive straight in and strong arm your way to get there as fast as possible, both because that’s a shitty thing to do and because you’ll likely face consequences at the very least by starfleet when you get home, maybe by delta species who don’t like what you’re doing.
Honestly I don’t know a single person who has a negative thing to say about Janeway, except maybe she was too restrained sometimes.
How many of the crew, especially the Maquis, had nothing to return to and could have settled on one of the worlds they encountered? That said it’s a completely foreign society whose complications and nuances you couldn’t possibly be able to comprehend in the few weeks Voyager is within range.
Seska? I’m not aware of a crew member with that name. There was a Cardassian spy on board one of the ships, but… She’s no longer a concern.
Lower Decks addresses it very well in Twovix. The situation is different when you have the whole Federation there to help you out. Voyager was no Equinox.
