And of course the "mediocrity" of Voyager was a reaction to the critically well-received but non-traditional Deep Space 9...

I always thought the bad Star Treks were Deep Space 9 and Enterprise. One was a prequel, and the other was a Space Station with lots of episodes where nothing happened.

Anyway, as far as Bladerunner and Van Gogh go, those are two things enjoyed by a certain type of person. I believe in English they are called "pretentious".

Bearing in mind that i've never watched DS9 (the only Treks i've thoroughly watched being TNG and Voyager), my impression was that DS9 was better received by critics and subjectively the "better" series, but that it was too non-traditional and thus poorly received by the public at large, prompting Voyager, which was 100% about exploration, at least as far as the plot went, to try to recapture the core audience, but Voyager was plagued by the problem of poor execution
