Thanks for reminding me about the black security chief as a PC token. And you are right he did a decent job, just it was too many obviously PC casting picks thrown together.
I couldn’t stand Chakotay in part because I couldn’t accept how he could go from ex-federation rebel to carrying out Janeway’s stupid orders. He and Tuvok should have mutinied in the pilot- now that would have kicked off an interesting show.
I had forgotten about that part. Now that I think about it, it was the hope that he would mutiny that had me interested for awhile.
If I remember correctly, there were some episodes in which loyalties did get tested and questioned.
Yes, that would have been very interesting. :)
