Concept: 3/4 (Good)
Story: 1/4 (Bad)
Characters: 1/4 (Bad). The writers don't seem to have watched the first two seasons. They weren't good characters to begin with, but now any sense of continuity is gone, without even making improvements.
Dialog: 1/4 (Bad)
Pacing: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Cinematography: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Special effects/design: 1/4 (Bad)
Acting: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Music: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Subjective Rating: 5/10 (Indifferent, 2/4). Just as suddenly as Deep Space Nine improved in its third season, Voyager turns to crap. There are still a handful of very good episodes, and some interesting ideas floating around - enough good to keep me hopeful for later seasons - but mostly it's just bad.
Objective Rating (Average): 1.7/4 (Eh)
