The series follows the adventures of the Starfleet vessel USS Voyager, which is pulled to the far side of the galaxy, where the Federation is 75 years away at maximum warp speed, while searching for a renegade Maquis ship.
The steely Captain Kathryn Janeway struck me as a feminist revelation, and I would follow my lady captain through all the self-destruct sequences she wants to set. All of Voyager's women are incredibly strong and complex, come to think about it.
The series premiere for Voyager promised a Star Trek like none before it, with it boasting a female lead, a mixed crew of Starfleet and Maquis, and a ship alone in the Delta Quadrant.
Kate Mulgrew as Kathryn Janeway commands full allegiance in the two-hour opener with all the qualities viewers expect of Starfleet captains; courage, competence, wisdom, dignity, fairness, compassion and a sense of humor.
Personally, I think it represents what Star Trek: Voyager as a series was trying to accomplish, years before Hollywood got called out for failing at it so awfully: bringing a truly diverse crew to the screen, and to the Star Trek canon.
This true sense of the unknown, combined with more crew-member friction than usual and a whole new galaxy of Star Trek aliens to introduce, gives Star Trek: Voyager built-in drama to spare.
