Re: Voyager

Is it that S2 is weaker than S1 or that it just is more of the same?

Perhaps if my BB order ever does come through I will end up trading it for something else. At worse I could always keep it on hand whenever I need a Jennifer Lien fix whom seems to have disappeared from acting now.

[Holly E. Ordway]

I felt that S2 was actually weaker than S1; while in S1 there was a generous handful of fun, reasonably well done episodes, in S2 I felt the writing was weaker overall. How much you like it probably depends on how much you like Voyager overall; I'd take however much you liked S1 and scale it down a bit to get a guess for how much you'll like S2.

[abintra]

I don't think I saw more than an episode or two of Voyager, probably season 1, before I moved and got satellite which didn't have UPN or local channels.

I don't recall being that impressed though it was awhile ago, tastes change and evolve. I remember liking Lien, the doctor, and the Neelix character.

Hmm, I just looked up the episodes on tvtome and recognize a couple of the S2 ones (17-20).
