Explain the Voyager premise and how it differed from the series that came before it.

Voyager was a return to what Star Trek originally represented, exploring the galaxy. It was a series with good production values, good writing overall, but it was never a can�t miss series. They were really battling themselves because they�d watered it down so much. There was a been-there, done-that, sense to Voyager.

Voyager changed the Star Trek audience, because at some point the creators and the writers of Star Trek started to realise they had a huge audience out there in people who are involved in hi-tech business. They realised that there was a huge respect for technology and what technology could do. So all of a sudden, whenever there was a problem, they could shift right into the techno-speak and then give you a whole bunch of gibberish that you wouldn�t even necessarily understand. You could always modulate something.
