Thanksgiving Thursdays: “Star Trek Voyager”

Image Source: “Den of Geeks”

A spin-off series taking place after the original Star Trek Enterprise series, this was actually one of the few I would see re-runs of when I was younger. Though nowadays, I think there were some faults the series had which I didn’t really see until I started rewatching it, what made the series stand out to me was the fact that the captain (although she was a red shirt, as the joke goes), was female, which back then had been different; I feel like I would rarely ever see series with a female lead, especially one that wasn’t being overly sexualized in some weird way. I’m not sure if I would continue watching the series now, but I do have to give some acknowledgement to how interesting the series was in a time where I think the only female lead I would see was maybe “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” which isn’t necessarily bad, but I appreciated the diversity of female roles this series brought about in the early 2000s.
