he wanted to do stuff on voyager with, like, the ship breaking down after battles or running out of fuel or whatever, but no one would let him do that either. Yeah, and like... he should have been able to do that. They skipped over a lot of good storytelling opportunities because it was out of their "comfort zone". Berman and Braga (the idiots in charge) were pretty obsessed with the more commercial success of Next Gen, and they stifled a lot of creativity (I've read interviews with Bryan Fuller about how his episodes got mucked with too). It's still got a lot of little shining moments (in my admittedly biased/nostalgic opinion), and fabulous characters but it's mostly in spite of the powers that be.
And yeah you should! I think you'd really like DS9, but... it sucks because it's hard to find anything but the original and TNG on reruns.
I KNOW, I wish she did her hair like that more oftennnn! So far that's the only episode she's done her hair like that.
