You know what, I misinterpreted your comment.
Though I do think "hated" is a bit much - DS9 certainly was the least popular of the 90s shows, but...it ran for seven years.
@ValueSubtracted
I liked #DS9. It wasn't just one big happy Starfleet crew. The interplay was infinitely more interesting for it.
By contrast, I hated #Voyager because even though there should have been tension between the combined Starfleet and Maquis crews, they ruthlessly and relentlessly suppressed even the slightest appearance of it. Also, I didn't think much of Kathryn Janeway's philosophy.
But for these very reasons, most fans seemed to love Voyager and hate DS9.
@benfell @ValueSubtracted I loved both of them but obviously DS9 was the better show
@benfell @ValueSubtracted I loved Voyager as a kid, but I was 11 when it ended so 🤷♂️. Rewatching it now is hard because most episodes leave me with the feeling of missed potential. While it didn't need to be as serialised as DS9 ended up, paying a bit more attention to continuing character threads or subplots across episodes or seasons would have made it a much stronger series. We joke about the torpedo count, but it's a symptom of how little care Voyager took to developing its story.
