Its amazing how great it handled not only its main characters but all the side characters. Mostly the first two seasons though and not that many.īut watching DS9 and VOY together for over a month now, it’s not even close which show has the better character development. Second on that list is TOS (mostly third season which I avoid the most of) and then DS9 which is more crazy since that’s the one I rewatched from beginning to end but yeah I apparently skip a lot of those too lol. For someone who has been watching it since it aired and rewatch a lot of it, it was surprising how many I completely forgotten. I just really gotten to appreciate it a lot more for some reason, but as said I always liked it.īut it also turns out to be the show where I forgot a lot of the episodes. It only jumped to number three in the last few years or so. But VOY used to be number four for a looooong time.
It was treated too episodically and characters like Neelix suffered for it because the character did have more dramatic episodes and had a much deeper background they only explored rarely.ĭS9, TNG and VOY have become my favorite three shows in that order. I can’t recall a single episode it was ever brought up in any way and it was never used to develop the character. I never remembered the character was actually a soldier who fought in a war for instance which gravely affected him because it ended up as a genocide among his people (Jetrel).īut again the issue with Voyager is that something like that was brought up way back in season 1 and then just dropped again. Until I watched them this year I literally didn’t remember any of them and it was nice to give Neelix more layers than just the happy-go-lucky cook and morale officer. These are from the first four seasons (which I just finished).
They actually gave him quite a few weighty episodes which makes me see Neelix in a different light now. And because of that, I am watching episodes I literally could not remember because I just kept skipping over them and apparently that seems to include a lot of the Neelix episodes because I am now watching a lot of them I just don’t remember.Īnd one of the things I’m learning is that Neelix was not always just treated like a quirky comedic side character like Quark usually was. One of the reasons I wanted to do a grand rewatch of the franchise was to see how different my views of the shows would be when I watched them all as a whole again and not just choose to watch my favorite episodes over and over.
