    Did you ask yourself why Voyager is so bad too?

      Safe to say there are no Vulcans here.

        Voyager is watchable. For the most part.

            Indeed.

              Only once, for scientific purposes. Any repeated viewings are definitely signs of a deranged mentality.

              As for phasers, my pressing question has always been - What the f*** happened to the wide field mode of the original series? You know, take out a whole room of baddies all at once?

              These things have a STUN setting, for crying out loud. Zap the whole freakin' room and sort it out later!

                The real question is: Is DanS a Ferengee?

                      True, Seven is easy on the eyes, but she was also a good character/actress. Same with The Doctor.

                      By the time you guys are finished, the show would be about unmanned, computer-controlled spaceships exploring the galaxy, obliterating hostile threats in about 2 seconds.

                          In order to prevent misuse and simplify things for federal judiciary, there is no targetting software in phasers.
                          They have computer software advanced enough to make sentient artificial life in the holodeck, I am sure the software can figure out an instruction like "Shoot all klingons within 20 meters".

                            I guess, if you really are that hard up for Star Trek.

                            It's easily the worst of the four series.
