After getting over the disappointment of what could of and should of been in terms of character development, continuality and all the things that I would of loved to see in terms of quality writing for Voyager, my favorite eps were Drone, Dark Frontier and parts of End Game.

I am a fan that has become a wee-bit more critical of the writing quality from an entertainment franchise that has had some 40 years to create perfection. (warning; personal editorial comments ahead :0) It’s been a long standing epidemic in the Star Trek television universe that character development rarely reaches beyond skin deep. DS9 was showing signs of good character development and eventually, IMHO did the best job of any Trek series regarding character development. Therefore, with Voyager premiering after DS9 "honeymoon years" my expectations were high to see well-developed character writing. That didn’t materialize and the opportunity was tossed away on a loyal fan base that the tv producers bet would continue to drink from the well, no matter how bitter the water. The series did keep my interest (I did drink from the well) in hopes of seeing a properly executed television series. As the series moved into season six and seven, there were only a few shining moments of writing excellence. I continue to be thankful for the few exceptional fanfic writers, like you (Gina), who – among other things - capture the essences of well-developed characters… Thank you

I can't narrow it down to one :-)

Some of my favourites include, The Raven, The Killing Game, Dark Frontier and Imperfection.

All, imo, have great J/7 moments :-)
