It's different in this series. They overuse Murphy's Law, anytime they need something to work, it's not working. And you'd think by now they would have shielded all the different systems in the ship after all the time they seem to malfunction or go offline. As for the technobabble, sometimes when all they need are like one or two lines of technobabble, they extend it to a 5 minute scene or something. It's excessive and very annoying. In fact, I actually liked that one episode uh Macrocosm for one reason. That reason was the minimal use of technobabble while they had Janeway Terminator2-Linda-Hamiltoning around the ship. Of course, they still Murphy's Law'ed that episode too.
Anyways, "Fair Trade" was pretty good, Neelix wasn't as annoying. He had some good character development, but all of it was shafted the next episode and all but forgotten like most of the character development on the show. The station there reminded me of Babylon 5, not out of resemblance just triggered memories of Babylon 5. "Alter Ego" was very meh. Their holodeck adventures seem to be either that bar or this new resort place. TNG had way more adventurous and diverse holodeck stuff. I ended up watching "Blood Fever" in between facepalms. Saw the Borg coming. Gonna have to take you guys' word for it.
button I'll admit that, and yes it became quite annoying at times. The reason I like Voyager so much however is the crew, so I was willing to forgive a bit (ok, ALOT sometimes) of the old reset mashing. If I were to be critical of Voyager however It would probably top the list of "mistakes they made"
