I'm about 2/3 of the way through season 2, and I'm struggling to find a connection to the story and the people.

They're 70,000 light years from home, but they never seem to be getting any closer. Each episode, they seem to be fumbling around the entire time until the last 5 minutes.

I don't really know anyone's backstory. Janeway has a partner and a dog. Harry has a girlfriend. Tom hates his father. And that's about it.

There were a couple of episodes that grabbed me and made me think, "Oh, now I get it." But then the next episode comes along and it goes back to the same old same old.

So, is it just me? Am I missing something, or is Voyager missing something?

Let's say I'm a newly commissioned ensign with a wife and a baby back on Earth that I want to see again. Which captains will give me the best (and worst) odds of surviving long enough to do that?

My wife and I were walking down Main Street this evening for the first time in a while and were surprised by how vibrant it seems again. So many awesome-looking restaurants to choose from! What are your favorites?
