I think you're not too far off.
Here is an excerpt from The Fifty Year Mission (book 2) by Mark A. Altman and Edward Gross. I highly recommend those books. They are super insightful about the behind-the-scenes stuff from the first 50 years of Star Trek.
I want CBS to, on hands and knees, beg RDM to fix Trek now. Oh I'd squeal like a 60s girl at a Beatles concert.
God damn. I'm almost done watching DS9 for the first time right now and was planning on diving into Voyager right after. But this makes me not want to.
Voyager is alright. It's just very uneven. What drags it down is that the producers only very rarely took big swings that had a lasting impact on the characters or the show. Voyager excels at being episodic television. There are a bunch of stinkers (as there are on any TV show) but when it's good, it's really good. It has some of the best Trek episodes.
Maybe use an episode guide with ratings (for example Jammer's Reviews, Ex Astris Scientia or IMDb) and skip the episodes with low ratings.
That's really interesting, thank you for going to the effort to share those page.
