I think you are missing the point about ST - its not a technology
show its really about people and the human condition.
Compare and contrast two similar episodes in B5 & trek, the one where
Picard is tortured and the one with Sheridan. Both powerful episodes
but the quality of Stewarts acting made the trek one better and the
final point that they had broken him I continue to find haunting.
Not the same effect with the b5 episode.
Plus there is a *really* good reason to watch Voyager, Jeri Ryan.
Anyway this just went off the OT meter.
