Star Trek: Voyager holds a very distinct honor or dishonor, and that's the one show that Ronald D. Moore didn't want to work on during his time with the franchise. A young man when he joined Star Trek: The Next Generation, he wrote some of the show's best episodes, before going on to provide Star Trek: Deep Space Nine with the same type of genius.

Yet, The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine were syndicated shows. The work experience was vastly different there than say at Voyager. That show, after all, was the lynchpin in the Upn catalogue of shows. Being a new network, they were doing everything they could to get noticed and gain viewers. They needed Voyager to be a hit more than shows like The Next Generation or Deep Space Nine had to be.

Those two latter shows weren't owned by a channel but were instead syndicated to the highest bidder.
