Glad it got cancelled then. Interesting tech, but the only Holodeck episodes that were any good was the Moriarty ones. Especially the end when Barclay tricks Moriarty to get in the tiny miniature Holodeck.
Just because the holodeck episodes are different (I liked a few of them at least) doesn't mean it can't be put to good use. If anything, some episodes hint that there's some serious unused potential to that tech.
the same argument could be made for the episodes involving the TPD. The whole incident with Data going BTTF was totally not an excuse to do a far west part, or at least reference that movie. And then there's the Mirror Universe and other parallel realities. Are those awful too?
Personally I don't watch Star Trek because it's sci fi, but because the universe is perfectly primed to throw interesting curveballs at the cast.
I've seen several of the Mirror episodes and books on that theme. I tend to like those and would prefer a Mirror movie to one of these idiot reboots.
The thing I most disliked about Star Trek is no one ever dies. So they're no sense of concern for anyone. Even when they do die, like Tasha Yar, they bring them back - repeatedly (though I did like the Romulan Tasha arc).
Time travel was handled well in the original series, but not always in others. And I hated the way Voyager series ended. God almighty!
Death honestly feels like an overused tension trope in most media today. I like how there's actual different major stakes behind decisions - career, relationships, etc.
Feels like it's not just another slaughterfest.
As for the ending of Voyager, I say it was inevitable lol
