As someone who made it all the way to the final season before dropping the show when they started pushing the Seven, Chakotay, Doctor love triangle, I can say that you didn’t miss too much.
While there’s the occasional good episode, I found the quality of the show to have only improved marginally over the seasons.
Having watched through DS9 first, it was clear that Voyager had the B team of writers.

Same here. Tried it once, didn’t care for the pilot episode and lost interest. A couple years later, some people encouraged me to give it another try after hearing that I tend to love character dramas. I made it partway through season 2 before I stopped and realized this show just isn’t for me.
The subject matter holds no interest to me, and the characters aren’t likeable or compelling enough for me to get invested.
I can appreciate that Breaking Bad is a well made show, but I don’t understand all the universal love it’s garnered.
- Comment on What are you watching and, what do you recommend this week? 6 days ago:
Season 1 is a pretty good show and is mostly faithful to the game. I would, however, recommend tempering any expectations before watching season 2.
While I wouldn’t consider season 2 bad, they do ramp up the interpersonal drama and cut the game’s story in half to make another season–which will focus on Abby’s perspective from the 2nd game.

That’s a valid point. I just remembered the pro-cop messaging feeling more overt in Rises, though it has been a while since I’ve seen them all.
I also have a soft spot for The Dark Knight because of Ledger’s performance.

The Dark Knight Rises. Not only is it a bad Batman movie, it oddly has a pro cop message. Also, I can’t take Bane seriously at all with that ridiculous voice.
- Comment on Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 has been delayed again, this time until the first half of 2025 9 months ago:
Wow, this title can’t catch a break. Though given how little of the game the developers have shown off, this isn’t too surprising honestly. I just hope this delay will be good for the game.
