What I liked about Janeway was that if you messed with her crew or her ship, you would learn that you misjudged her.

The Original Series is the one that blazed the path for the rest. The Next Generation showed you could write literate and thoughtful stories for television and it got better with each season. Deep Space Nine was probably the penultimate of the shows that followed since it was basically an action show set in space with a spiritual theme. The final season paid a homage to the tradition of the Saturday matinee serial. You had to follow each "chapter" to find out what went on in the next one that followed. Voyager was supposed to be Captain Hornblower but never quite lived up to the advertised billing. Enterprise has returned the show to its pre-Federation roots. Personally it would help if Captain Archer would just throw caution to the winds and make up the rules as he went along. Its not called the Final Frontier for nothing.
