  • No, but my job includes producing and verifying calculations.

    We already deal with computer models, but there is a concept of “garbage in, garbage out” where the model is garbage because the inputter didn’t understand what to put in the model or even what model should be used.

    So the modeling may be more efficient, but the budget gets blown in verification because the model is crap.








  • I feel like it wasn’t just Kes who had this problem.

    The Doctor and Seven were probably the best written characters. Tom and B’Lenna were probably the next two after that. Janeway only got better because she could act as a bad parent to Seven, which vastly improved her character and gave her focus. Neelix and Tuvok kind of drifted off to the background. Kim and Chakotay were blander than that, although Kim got a few decent character beats.

    I’m not going to fault the actors on this, since this was the writing.




  • Voyager was probably the most high concept of the era’s Trek and didn’t really fulfill that promise. It is funny that DS9 kept better track of its roundabouts over Voyager’s shuttles.

    They really didn’t nail down the writing of the crew. The Doctor and Seven are the best written. However, out of the rest of the crew, only Tom Paris seems somewhat consistent.

    You get some good episodes out of it, but I don’t think it plays with the parts of Trek they were given to its fullest extent. I also feel like, while some of the shows are pure Trek, they aren’t Voyager.
