Star Trek: Deep Space Nine ended in 1999 after 7 seasons but didn't jump into feature films like The Next Generation. Here's why.

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.
