Star Trek: Voyager refuses to learn from its mistakes. Deep Space Nine, when cancellation loomed, boldy went back to the drawing board, creating a gritty war story in the otherwise pristine Star Trek landscape. The Voyager crew, now within 10 episodes of the end, seems stuck in an unsuccessful formula.An upcoming two parter (!), for example, has the tired premise of the crewgetting their memories zapped. This crew has had more mind erasers than collegegirls after finals.
You could bring ten more Jeri Ryans onto the ship: Dull is dull. Still, thepremise always had potential. Here’s hoping they choose a bang and not awhimper.
