Airing from the Winter of 1995 to the Spring of 2001, Star Trek: Voyager was the final Star Trek television series to follow in the footsteps of Paramount Studios new line of Star Trek television productions that began with Star Trek: The Next Generation. Produced by primarily the same individuals responsible for ST:TNG and also ST:DS9, Voyager took another huge step forward in the Trek-verse, breaking new ground not only by placing a female Starfleet captain at the helm, but also by dropping the show's flagship namesake into an unexplored region of the Star Trek universe. Here's a look at 10 reasons why this show was much more awesome than most of us remember...
10. The Delta Quadrant
By whisking Voyager into an unexplored region of the Star Trek universe with the pilot episode, the creators of the show immediately raised the stakes for the show. With a female captain at the helm, Voyager found itself in literally uncharted territory, populated in large part by Federation nemesis, The Borg. By Voyager's projections, it would take nearly 75 Earth years to return home, thus placing Voyager in a place where literally "no man had gone before."
