I’ve been watching occasional reruns of Star Trek: Voyager lately; it’s the only incarnation of Trek available in Syracuse on a broadcast basis. I’m finding that Voyager, while still not being all that compelling, isn’t as bad as I remember it being. It’s pedestrian but entertaining — all the annoying technobabble of The Next Generation, with less of the good characterization of Deep Space Nine.

What’s really catching my attention, though, is the Seven-of-Nine character. Could the producers conceivably have been any more blatant in their intention with this character to capture the loyalty of the “Basement-dwelling SF-nerd onetime-Trek-fan-who-has-now-discovered-anime and yet has never seen a real live female” crowd? Yeesh!
