Aug. 11th, 2010 11:22 amI am continuing with my very flawed project of watching all of Star Trek. The fact that Voyager can have an episode in season three where two characters discuss how wonderful it is to be on Voyager and how they feel very fortunate to be there means that THEY HAVE JETTISONED ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING THAT COULD POSSIBLY BE INTERESTING ABOUT THE PREMISE OF THE SHOW.
It's rather like people on Battlestar: Galactica treating it like summercamp. You are stranded so far from home you will probably never get back in hostile territory where you have no support system, no way to replace anything that breaks, and no reenforcements to call on. You will most likely die on some backwater planet and no one back home will ever know what happened to you. Yeah. Sounds like a FANTASTIC time.
(What other show treated a similar set-up like it was summercamp? Oh, right. Stargate: Atlantis.)
