Voyager isn't 100% bad. I mean once in a while it can pull out a good episode like Scorpion or The Thaw, and even the bad episodes that focus on Holodoc are worth watching just for Picardo, it also gave us the Captain Proton episode so I can't completely hate Voyager.

As for Braga I wouldn't be too hard on him, he seems like a nice enough guy who was trying and even admits to the mistakes he made and that is not something a lot of people in Hollywood do. He was really good when writing on TNG and even did some good scripts on the other shows once in a while. I think the real problem was he was burnt out. Paramount cut back on the number of writers at the time he was working and because of that in a space of about seven years he had to write 110 episodes. Now to put that in prospective that is 31 episodes more then the inter run of TOS, that would burn anyone out. So yeah he kept going back to the same plot well over and over and that hurt the show but I don't think he was being lazy, he was just given way more work then he could handle and as someone who has been in that place I will not hold that against him. Yeah maybe he should have stepped down but then again in Hollywood a writer never knows where his or her next pay check is going to come from so some times that is easier said then done. He made some mistakes but I don't think he was trying to be lazy and I don't hold it personally against him. At least his bad scripts tended to be about exploring space unlike the bad scripts of more recent Star Trek which are all about war and explosions.
