A Voyager Character Perfectly Summed Up What’s Wrong With Star Trek’s Entire Premise

Although the Star Trek franchise’s core premise has led to success, a Star Trek: Voyager character perfectly summed up some of its fundamental flaws. Unlike some science fiction shows, which focus on dystopian futures, Star Trek‘s basis has always been a utopian ideal that prizes explorations and discovery above everything else. This has served the franchise well over the years and has been carried throughout all the various projects, of which Voyager was no exception. Even stuck in the Delta Quadrant, Captain Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) made sure to continue Starfleet’s mission to seek out new lifeforms, planets, and anomalies while traveling through space.
