honestly, my mother tricked my child brain into thinking star trek was cool because it being on TV was the Only reason I was allowed to stay up past my bedtime, so kid me viewed Voyager as The Cool Show that lets me stay up late. 

It’s a shame that in the age of streaming it’s not possible to manipulate kids into liking shows via timeslots anymore, tbh! 

Worked like a charm for me. I still have warm fuzzies over the memories of staying up late, already in my pyjamas, just to watch Voyager.
