Wow, fantastic, you must be really proud of yourself for finding that.

While TNG had such moments, it was Voyager that took technobabble to new heights - to the point where Ron Moore said there were scripts with just pages and pages of technobabble that confused even him.

Voyager took it to new heights, but TNG was the start of this downward slide. And Voyager is just a bastard offspring of TNG. The same people who made TNG made Voyager, only they got 'promoted'.

And 'reversing the polarity' is Doctor Who's catch-phrase, anyhow. *Not* TNG's.

'Savages', indeed.

Voyager took everything bad about trek to new heights, it took rehashing scripts, incompetence and bad acting to new heights.

But it also took the requisite T&A to new cup sizes. For that, it will always be fondle...I mean, fondly remembered.

Come on, what other recent sci-fi show has had the guts to change their T&A right in the middle of its run?

Voyager wasn't that bad! Come on...it had...that one episode. You know the one...it was really good. And the Forehead of the Week (tm) was really unique that show...you know the one!

The only Voyager epsiodes worth watching are the Doctor ones - "Blink of an Eye", "Tinker, Tenor, Doctor, Spy", "Message in a Bottle", and thath early one where he goes insane and thinks he's the real human on a holographic ship.

The funny/sad part is the last 2 speach bubbles on the 3rd pannel are technobable. Everything before that is perfectly legit.

"Reverse the polarity of the neutron flow!!!"

your forgetting about the "we're not savages" bit Tycho goes through on the second panel.

No that is perfectly understandable rationalization for buying a new expensive shinny technological artifact which will be sold for a 1/10 of the price in about 5 years.

For something that bills itself as "science fiction," Star Trek seems to have a strange contempt for science. The biggest uphill battle I have to face is the pervasive notion that radiation is a green gaseous substance. I'm not even going to start on the DS9 spirituality hogwash.

Thanks to Voyager, my best friend and I decided that our lives could be made perfect with a sustained tachyon pulse piggybacked through the main deflector on an anti-neutrino field.
