A l t e r E g o 9 Posted May 7, 2003 A Hugh percentage of threads here on the VOY board have one thing in common, GRIPES about VOY. I understand this is a bit early to ask but with the release of VOY on DVD coming soon, I want to get a large a sample as possible. Do not feel you need to explain why you voted the way you did (Explanations optional) but please VOTE! Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Jean-Luc Picard 1 Posted May 7, 2003 I voted Yes, it's the best! Mainly becuase I plan on getting all the Trek shows on DVD... :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A l t e r E g o 9 Posted May 7, 2003 Thank you for your participation Captain :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indy 8 Posted May 7, 2003 Well, I voted no, but not because I think it's crap. I was just afraid Alterego would yell at me if I viewed the thread and didn't vote! :( Really, though, I'm not planning on buying Voyager DVDs, because of all the Trek series, there are others that I would like to have over Voyager. I am getting TNG and DS9 and that's about all I can afford right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deagletime 1 Posted May 8, 2003 by all means yes, in my opinion it was rivaled by only tng... even so..if your content with soso quality there all on kazaa for free Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sam The Smuggler 1 Posted May 8, 2003 Hell, I'm getting them Voyager wasn't the Best Star Trek IMO, but it still entertained as Trek knows how :o Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A l t e r E g o 9 Posted May 8, 2003 I almost agree 100%, I remember many VOY episodes which knocked my socks off as stand alone episodes. The trouble is, well, this forum, look at all the threads with gripes about not minor things, Characters disappearing, Janeway’s love life (or lack of one), uniforms, the ease in which assimilated people got over such a thing as easily as a cold, having it too easy, Prime Directive, Cobalt devises, not enough ammo! I am sorry if I missed out on anyone’s gripe in this list but it was becoming a book! Still, I suppose if I want the Good episodes of VOY on DVD, I will have to take the warts too.

Sam The Smuggler 1 Posted May 8, 2003 Oh People would Gripe about Voyager no matter what, IMO. All The Shows have plenty of the things to Gripe about....Voyager just seems to be the only one that's most accepted to Gripe about, lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob 0 Posted May 8, 2003 I voted Yes! When does it come out? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VaBeachGuy 12 Posted May 8, 2003 I voted yes, I wouldn't say it;s the "best" but I plan on getting all Series on DVD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gotabite 0 Posted May 8, 2003 Hi Alter Ego....... You know how much I love Voyager. :o Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Takara_Soong 4 Posted May 8, 2003 I voted Yes the other day but hadn't posted a comment yet. I've seen enough of Voyager that I would buy the DVDs for the seasons. I'm still debating DS9 as I hadn't seen a lot of it but I probably will at some point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A l t e r E g o 9 Posted May 8, 2003 Thanks for voting, I recommend DS9 as a must have (and I understand you gotta make sure it suits your personal tastes), what it boils down to for VOY and me buying them on DVD is determining the killer episode/wart episode ratio. :o Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dsbs 0 Posted May 9, 2003 Yes by all means!! It's my second favourite show on TV!! I can't wait for the DVDs to come out!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MaQuIs_PrInCeSs 0 Posted May 9, 2003 I dont have a DVD player so I have to buy VHS. But sooner or later They wont even sell VHS anymore and well have to get one. So HA! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Jean-Luc Picard 1 Posted May 9, 2003 I dont have a DVD player so I have to buy VHS. But sooner or later They wont even sell VHS anymore and well have to get one. So HA! Nooo! Don't buy VHS! Watch ENTERPRISE and re-runs of the other shows, save your money! Did you know that people say VHS will be obselete in like 5 years? Why spend hundreds of dollars on VHS when you can spend only $100 for a full season of Trek? COME ON MAN, UPGRADE! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Syperphobia 0 Posted May 9, 2003 I want to buy it and hope the cost wont be too high Hopefully in the near future buying DVD's will be cheap Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Syperphobia 0 Posted May 9, 2003 by all means yes, in my opinion it was rivaled by only tng... even so..if your content with soso quality there all on kazaa for free KaZaa is crappy due to the pop ups and spywear, get Ares for quality downloads OMG I am sounding like an advertisment.

You may be doing the right thing by not buying a DVD player, right around the corner, there could be a new kid on the block, subscription services that allow you to buy features which you do not store at home. A cable box type of device would be attached to your TV and any movie (or anything) you have purchased, with a click of a button will be downloaded into the box for viewing whenever you wish without needing bookshelves of software all over the house. I like the idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I like the idea. Except only rich people will be able to afford it. People like me probably won't be able to afford it for many years. If it's only like $200, I'll buy it. If it's more than that... for watching videos... that's just too expensive. I want to buy it and hope the cost wont be too high Hopefully in the near future buying DVD's will be cheap I highly doubt the prices will go down any time soon.

MaQuIs_PrInCeSs 0 Posted May 9, 2003 I've never actually bought a Voyager tape, I just record them on blank tapes. It's good untill someone tapes over them. Anyways its not like I'd buy EVERY episode. I'd just get my favourites. P.S: sooner or later episodes will be on microchips and you just play them on your computer. Like in Trek! In my opinion anyways. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Ktrek Posted May 9, 2003 I voted yes but I don't agree with the full statement..."it's the best". VOY IMHO was a good show but not as good as DS9 or TNG. However, I am a Star Trek nut and I gotta have my Trek! So, I'm going to buy them. I am buying all Trek as it comes available on DVD. I really hope they release The Animated Series also. I'll buy Enterprise when it comes out on DVD as well. Ktrek Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jdigs 0 Posted May 13, 2003 It really depends on how much you enjoyed voyager. For instance I could not go without having TNG on dvd, I had to re-watch all eps..when I was done I felt better..however insane that sounds. In the end, its a good thing to have and watch over and over, but you have to reason weither its affordable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Makurosu 0 Posted May 13, 2003 I voted "still trying to make up my mind". Voyager isn't the best, but it's a decent show. I'll probably get the first couple of seasons at least. If I have any cash leftover, and have already bought DS9, that is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
