BINGEWORTHY TV: Star Trek Voyager
Okay. I’m not going to call it a fight, but there has been, uh, disagreement. In my typically diplomatic way, I have declared Star Trek Voyager the single greatest Star Trek series ever. My better half prefers Deep Space Nine, which doesn’t even have a Vulcan or photon torpedoes. Enough said.
Are there problems with Voyager? Yes. But there are problems with all of them. Not for you if you have some kind of hang up with a Starship captain from Katherine Hepburn’s Bryn Mawr school of elocution. See, I have no problem with a female starship captain. It’s comforting to know she’s from the Main Line. What does it have no other ST series does? A black Vulcan, a Borg body to die for, a doomed and lonely mission across the entire universe, and at least twice, the utter destruction of a starship based on principles better than Picard’s Canadian Surrender First and Talk About it Later crapola. Sometimes the Bryn Mawr bitch goes to war. Why she gets my vote. On Netflix. 170 episodes.
