"Voyager" was the first " Trek " to put a woman in the captain's chair.

Kate Mulgrew would go on to play Kathryn Janeway through seven seasons and beyond.

The show's biggest misstep was its rapid abandonment of the tantalizing Federation/Maquis dynamic.

"Voyager" was conceived as an ingenious solution to an age-old problem of the final frontier.

It's clear now that many of these less-than-optimal elements were born of the time the show was made.

Standalone, syndication-friendly episodes were very much the norm in the '90s .
