    If it continues the way it has gone in this past season it should easily pass Voyager in quality and could potentially reach TNG standards

    Let me get this straight - After 4 years (or however long it's been running) you're saying it's not even better than Voyager yet, and not up to the standards of TNG?

    You're only reinforcing the reason i'm not watching it...I'll just stick to my slow acquisition of the DS9 box sets instead.

    But is it watchable, or does one have to suffer through 2 years of high-tech, soap-opera before quality becomes obvious.

    Durring the first year they insulted the viewers with soft porn (shower scence). If I want quality soft porn I watch UPN. Ooops, I stand corrected, Star Trek along with another quality show WWE is on UPN.

    Star Trek doesn't need great acting just less time travel, space Nazis, sucky theme tunes, and transporter cock-ups. Shatner. I rest my case.

    But if the next season never gets produced, how will we know if Captain Archer is successful in getting these worlds together to form the Federation? You can't just end a series on a cliffhanger like that without knowing what's going to happen, it'll kill us!! It'll be worse than the ending of Party of Five. :-(

    On the plus side I'm looking forward to never having to watch UPN again. UPN will be as worthless as the WB network and probably devolve into showing nothing but african-american targetted sitcoms like Moesha.

    Yes, Gilligan's Island was also very watchable, but I wouldn't rate it as a better drama than TNG, and it had the same premise as Voyager.

    My favorite Voyager was the episode where they make a warp drive out of coconuts.

    To all of you who watched the first couple of seasons, it's a gotten a lot better and is hardly the same show.

    Spoiler warning.

    Better? You call this better? Because I live in a TV-backwater, I just got to see the last episode of season three, which I had been led to believe was one of the good ones. What I got was a cliff hanger with time travel and Nazis. Please. All we're missing now is that they introduce a little kid...

    I'm sorry, they screwed around with the background story too much in the first two episodes for me to be interested. So far, it is more fun to watch Buffy reruns. No Nazis, no time travel, and when they introduced a little kid, it wasn't a little kid at all.
