But the 1701-A was the coolest looking starship!

yes she is attractive and a great actress but the main part that made voyager great was the moral stability that the captain exibited. i mean sure we have the greatest starship ever and a great crew, but if they arent truly up to federation standerds than why even have startrek?

Voyager gets my vote. It had good stories,nice plot line,kept my intrest. There was just flow. Don't ask me to explain flow. It was also more family oriented than the others. Action,comedy,romance...sometimes all 3 in one episode. Good sense of morals...most of the time. They did not mess with the time line like the show Enterprise did. A crew that were originally enemies became close friends,and as Harry Kim said "I think it's safe to say no one on this crew has been more... obsessed with getting home than I have. But when I think about everything we've been through together, maybe it's not the destination that matters. Maybe it's the journey, and if that journey takes a little longer, so we can do something we all believe in. I can't think of any place I'd rather be, or any people I'd rather be with." On another note the Intrepid class is my favorite ship class.

I'll agree with Capt. Kat in as far as Enterprise being almost entirely a time-travel show really put me off.

Some of them were okay, but to be honest when it gets gratuitous it just gets stupid, and moreover, boring.

I agree. Time travel is so pointless. Suposedly, if you change one thing, then you change EVERYTHING about the future. Like if you go back to dinosaurs and then step on a bug, supposedly the entire human race could not exist.

Voyager is an awesome ship with an awesome captain, and yes,... 7of9 was hot. But I watched an episode the other day: They came up on a relay station (Hirogen I think) and they detected a Federation ship on the edge of the Alpha Quadrant. They sent the doctor and oops, it was taken over by Romulans! Anyway, THAT ship, The Promethius, was an awesome ship! It could come apart in 4 parts and kick ass! THAT"S the ship I'd like to captain!

Obviously it's necessary, if you are going to have a time travel story where something gets changed, to illustrate the danger by the protagonists doing something that does seriously change their present. I mean, it may seem that everything you do in the past has disastrous results for the future, but it only appears that way because Commander Riker stepping on a bug and causing a billion more bugs to never be born would be monumentally dull. No-one would really get worried if Q appeared on the bridge and proclaimed, "Ha! You crazy humans have changed the past so drastically that 3,627,189,235,042 insects never existed! Hahaha!" It's the same reason that we watch shows about Enterprise rather than Columbia, Deep Space Nine rather than Starbase 40 and the Starfleet captain that got assimilated by the Borg rather than the Starfleet ensign who heard about a friend who was killed in the battle when the Starfleet captain got assimilated by the Borg. It just wouldn't be half as interesting; that's why we have heroes and we follow them around, like the senior officers. Sure, there are plenty of other fascinating people on a starship, but you can only keep a camera on a handful of them for 42 minutes so you might as well choose the ones that have most influence. There are no episode-filling moral dilemmas for Lieutenant junior grade Picard while he's meticulously scanning nebulae, are there?
And with the Prometheus, I'm actually glad that it didn't make much of a reappearance, because to be honest it has serious potential to ruin the story. I mean, it's cool and all, but imagine if Starfleet was full of them. It's the same reason I don't really wanna see a show set in the 29th century or something - when the Federation are practically the Q Continuum then there's just no point in watching what they do. Similarly, from an in-universe point of view it'd be great if the Borg went away and the Romulans and the Klingons and everyone agreed and made peace, but from an audience's point of view it'd suck if the Enterprise's Type X phasers were for clearing rubble rather than disabling Birds of Prey.
