Trivia:

At one point, several male actors read for the role of Janeway in the event Paramount had cold feet over casting a female lead. Among the actors who read for the part: Nigel Havers and Gary Graham

Goofs:

Plot holes: The way the Ocampa are shown to have offspring is an impossible situation. When Kes's body gets ready to have a child it is said the event only happens once in a female Ocampas life; the characters also spoke about preparing for "a child" not "some children". Kes has never mentioned having siblings and in flashbacks where she is a child she is not shown to have any. In the episode "Before and After" a possible future shows Kes and Tom Paris have a single daughter, Linnus who in turn has a single child, Andrew with Harry Kim. A species where the female can only have offspring at one event in her life and probably only a single birth would half in population every generation, if every single member had offspring. It would be impossible for a population of Ocampa to sustain itself, or even exist in the first place.

Quotes:

Tuvok: Shall I flog them as well?

Folks... relax. It's just a show.

If IMDB had a way of getting a blood pressure reading on some of the users making comments for this show, the results would be frightening. There's no reason to EVER get that worked up over a program!

I've never been able to understand why a person would watch an entire seven year series, hating it all the way. Option: Turn the channel. You've got nothing to lose. It's not like in the theater where one might sit through a tepid movie because they paid admission. Voyager was free. Take it or leave it.

Personally, I enjoyed the show. I liked the plot, the cast, and most of the storylines. I appreciated the mix of drama and action. Voyager, in my opinion, was a very good program. Had I not felt good about it... I would have turned it off. Problem solved.

Not every series is going to be a masterpiece. Not everyone is going to like every show. If it's your cup of tea, drink it. If not, put the cup down.
