expressed apprehension regarding a particular episode of “Star Trek: The Next Generation,” and even Leonard Nimoy hesitated to reprise his role in the franchise for what would turn out to be a crucial moment for his character Spock in “Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.”
However, behind the curtain, a well-respected and influential writer associated with “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine” and “Star Trek: Voyager” eventually departed due to creative disagreements about the direction of the show. This led the writer to tackle these issues in his own manner with the 2004 series “Battlestar Galactica.” In January 2000, future “God of War” showrunner, Ronald D. Moore, publicly aired his concerns regarding the then-popular series, “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine” and “Star Trek: Voyager.”
Regarding the latter series, which ran for seven seasons, “Voyager” chronicled the adventures of Captain Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) and her crew aboard the Voyager, which had been transported to the far reaches of space and was on a quest to navigate back to the Alpha Quadrant. Although the narrative was engaging at the time, Moore found it bothersome that the titular ship consistently appeared to remain in excellent condition, despite being lightyears away from anyone who could help or, more critically, keep the ship operational on its perilous, solitary mission.
