So KJA ain't that bad, I guess....

Seriously, Voyager had enjoyable moments, but the overused of technobable was disgusting. So my vote goes to Voyager.

ahhh, so hard to choose.

Have to go with Voyager though as I just couldn't believe how crap it was (all around) while KJA was only crap in the continuanuity (sp) department.

Voyager gave a new meaning to steaming pile of crap. Admittedly every ST series has clunker episodes, even clunker seasons - TNG Season 1 is unwatchable IMO, but TNG also had some of the best written episodes in Sci Fi shows - Best of Both Worlds, Yesterday's Enterprise, I cannot think of a SINGLE episode of Voyager I can honestly say was anywhere near as good...seriously not a ONE. Can someone else think of one?

Voyager was a clunker of a SERIES.

No contest. KJA isn't very good, but pitting him against Voyager is like putting a common street hoodlum up against the Devil himself. :evil:

Found this on Subspace Relay:

"[Enterprise] is a level of quality science fiction we haven't seen since Flesh Gordon." -- Walter Sochack

I think that about sums it up.

One is hard pressed to find any other Trek episode that equals Best of Both Worlds, Yesterday's Enterprise - but Voyager is not without its own 'good' stories.

Tinker, Tenor, Doctor, Spy
The Killing Game, parts 1 and 2
Tuvix
Mortal Coil

But I will agree that Voyager isn't the best series.

By himself, he authored the Jedi Academy series: Jedi Search, Dark Apprentice, and Champions of the Force. He also wrote Darksaber, although I'm not sure if he had a co-author.

He co-authored the Junior Jedi Knights and Young Jedi Knights series with his wife, Rebecca Moesta, and assisted with the stories behind several Tales of the Jedi comic books, as well as offering support for some reference books.

Master of Ossus, THANK YOU for reminding me about Enterprise. It is soooo awful that I literrally must have used the force to blank it from my mind. I remember thinking - hey! What a GREAT idea...ST BEFORE Kirk, when the Final Frontier was truly like the Wild West and we get to see the origin of alot of things like the Klingon Fed relationship.

I stared DUMBFOUNDED at the screen for the first hour of the show - (admittedly drooled over the Vulcan - something about cold unattainable women that I won't get into) and turned off the TV. After that, Enterrpise did not exist for me.

It's almost sad actually how the franchise has fallen to these depths after such great shows like the OS, TNG and DS9.

Contrary to the opinions of most people, I enjoy many episodes of Voyager. Episodes that revolve around the characters of Seven and the Doctor are usually entertaining simply because those are the two characters that weren't steamrolled into two dimensions.

Now I hate KJA just as much as the next guy, but to compare him to the Voyager writing staff is cruel and unusual punishment. We have the Bill of Rights to protect people from things like this.

What kind of perverted poll is this? It's like asking who I'd kill if I was stuck in an elevator with Jar Jar Binks and Wesley crusher and only had one round in the Chamber.

Except I can get away from Voyager and KJA

Oh, and I voted for Voy.
