Subjective Rating: 7/10 (Good, 3/4). The writing has improved drastically, especially near the end of the season, getting unexpectedly heavy (but without losing any of the Adventure quality that makes it fun). Now it's really only the quality of the characters that keeps it from being as good as TNG. Most of them are extremely shallowly written, with the most entertaining being good for little more than comedic relief. Janeway is the only one who's getting more interesting as we get to know her better.
Objective Rating (Average): 2.6/4 (Good)
