DS9 is my favorite of the modern Treks. But then again at the same time I was a huge B5 fan and DS9 was a ripoff of Straczynski’s pitch he made of B5 to Paramount. I was a big fan of TNG when it came out, but as I grew older and began to think socialism might be a bad idea I cooled on it.
As for Voyager I hated about every aspect of it, starting with Kate Mulgrew’s voice and character as captain. Then there was the oh-so politically correct first officer Chakotay. The concept was good and could have been a rousing adventure with the right cast and a captain in the mold of Kirk who would bend and stretch the Prime Directive as far as needed to get home. Instead we got an SJWs vision of the future captained by a Federation bureaucrat for whom getting home would be a lucky happenstance.
Me too, and because the studio had made the decision that the Captain of this series had to be a female. The original woman (Geneviève Bujold) they wanted to play the role canceled, and so they got Kate Mulgrew to do it.
Then as if one politically correct statement wasn't enough, we had to have a black Vulcan as her Chief of Security, because we needed two times the political correctness, you know.
To be fair, I was very pleased and impressed with Tim Russ's portrayal of Tuvok. He captured Spock's manner perfectly. He ended up being the best character of that series. (The Doctor was second best.)
Then there was the oh-so politically correct first officer Chakotay.
Politically correct brownie point number 3. Yes, we had to have an American Indian first officer to round out this Voyage of politically correct propaganda masquerading as entertainment.
I liked the character of Chakotay, but I resented that they insisted making such a spectacle shoving this "diversity" in our faces.

Yes. Even though I ended up liking some of the episodes and some of the characters (I never liked Janeway from the beginning to the end) I didn't like being preached at.
I would have been happier if they had kept Chakotay and Tuvok and ditched Janeway.
