I've been watching through Voyager steadily on Netflix.  I don't know if I've ever had more mixed feelings about a show.  I love the characters (except the half vulcan female... she's annoying and I hate how she refers to other people as "Starfleet" as if she's better than them because she isn't originally from them.  I always want one of them to reply with "Woman we captured and graciously gave the mercy of joining our crew instead of spending 70 years in the Brigg... but enough about her).  But only about half of the episodes are any good, most of them have so much technobabble it's as if they put no effort at all into writing it.  It's all "oh let's put them into some horrible deadly situation, then just make up some preposterous bullshit to get them out of it".

That being said, I'm on season 2, and the episode "Resistance" (the one where Janeway encounters an elderly man with some sort of dementia or something similar who thinks she's his daughter) was awesome, it actually made me feel things, sentimentally.  Also, "The Thaw" was also fanfuckingtastic.  But on the other hand, I can't remember the episode, but the one where Paris breaks the warp barrier and then starts evolving, then inexplicably turns into some sort of lizard and has a baby with Janeway was just mindnumbingly horrible.
