1) How much did you spend, and
2) Did you like the finale as much as I did?
Get Galactica; it's not that expensive, and so worth the $. (You might be able to pick up a set used at a record store cheap, that's how I bought Buffy.)

I always thought VOYAGER was underrated. People rag on it and say how it was the weakest of all the TREK spin-offs, but I actually found it to be the one that shared many spiritual similarities to the original series.
Hear hear!
Voyager was a great show. I loved TNG and DS9 but Voyager was a show that just clicked with me right from the word go. I still miss it, truth be told. My DVD sets sit proudly up there alongside FIREFLY/Serenity.

My take on Christ is supposed to be sarcastic - an allusion to conservatives who tend to forget what Jesus preached when it suits them.

Best season of Voyager?

Hi Chrisisall,
Best season? Phew....well Voyager clicked with me right from the word go, but I have this personal theory about most Star Trek series which is that they tend to find their feet by the 3rd season (in my mind TNG and DS9 did, and Enterprise did too) So, I'd say Voyager's best years were 4-7, although the earlier seasons were still good (of all the shows).
Have to say though that there were some ideas in Voyager that I didn't like - such as Chakotay and Seven suddenly having a relationship out of nowhere. I also felt species 8472 were 'written away' too quickly and should have kept their menace. Plus, I never stopped missing Kes. But that's just me.
What about you?

Voyager didn't work very well IMO. It was all over the place a little too much for me. I liked the first couple seasons. Then they got rid of Nes who was really hot (you know...when she was young). Brought on 7 who was too disperportionate for my tastes and made it Star Trek: 7 the spandex years. There was only one episode I liked from that timeframe and it was the one with the super futuristic borg that they tried to raise. That was sorta cool for some reason.
Overall I'd take DS9 over Voyager anyday.

7 and Chakotay was weird for me too.
I didn't miss Kes all that much, I never felt they knew quite how to handle the character, and her exit was memorable.

I felt that after the superb pilot, DS9 became insular, dark and somewhat claustrophobic (Many see this as a GOOD thing). Kira and Dax were totally cool, but the show seemed 'small' to me.
