I have finished watching Star Trek Next Generation and Deep Space 9 following a friend’s recommendation. I enjoyed both shows and started watching the other one, Star Trek Voyager.
So far, I’m not finding it as enjoyable as the other two. I want to try to see it through the eyes of someone who enjoys the show, maybe it will also help me understand why it feels different somehow.
picard was too moral compared to sikso and janeway, she was willing to violate more rules because they are so far from home.
See, that’s what I love about Picard. He’s a man who deeply believes in the value of morality and the difficulty of maintaining it and effective leadership. It shines through to every aspect of who he is. We see a man who was once a rambunctious youth, once was an overly ambitious officer, and now is tempered and weathered by mistakes and failures and knows that starfleet succeeds or fails on the behaviors of people like him. I find him incredibly relatable and eminently admirable in this struggle.
I haven’t gotten to ds9 or voyager yet, but this thread is making me glad I’m going to tos after I finish tng. It will serve as a palate cleanser
