It's a show that did a lot right and a lot wrong. Like, holy shit, they actually had a child character I liked! But they made Neelix maximally annoying. He could have been a good character if they'd dialed down the obsequiousness and dropped the "Mr Vulcan" bit. There were some great episodes, like "Year of Hell", some terrible ones, like "Threshold".
The worst sin, though, was spelling out the premise very explicitly (down to the number of torpedoes on board!), and then completely ignoring most of it.
