Understandable but would it shock you to know that it's my fav star trek? But ya it unfortunately has some weak episodes, especially in the beginning.

VOY is the most scientifically illiterate of all Trek series. They tried to sound at least as "sciency" as TNG, but:

  • They spent half a season searching ores on planets while mentioning a gas
  • They invented the "iso-" pseudo prefix to hide they didn't understand the metric system (in a prior episode they were alarmed by a cosmic event generating as little pressure as 10 atmospheres).

Shall we talk about their continual shortage of deuterium? Possibly the second most common substance in the universe!

Thank you, yes.
