First year I was really wishing Janeway would get killed in one of those numerous shuttle accidents. But she really grew on me.
VOY definetly fit the TOS, TNG mold of the first season the characters being paper thin. You would think that will the years of planning that go into these things they could get off to a better start. It always seems to be season 2 or 3 before the writers get used to the characters.
DS9 in my mind was the only one to get off the blocks running. Must have had something to do with the non-moving space station as opposed to deep-space ship allowing for deeper examination of the regular characters.
I was a little disapointed at first with the new show not being the Star-Fleet academy series I had heard rumored. Of course that is probably a good thing. They prolly would have turned that into "Star Trek : 90210" and I would have to vomit.
