gothwalk: (hope springs eternally from my fist)

I just watched an episode of Voyager, which was the best example ever of a cheap-ass production. The sets used were Voyager itself, a "stasis chamber" which looked like it was from Doctor Who, and an anonymous bit of California desert. There were about ten extras, only four of whom had speaking parts - the others literally shrugged or grimaced when they would otherwise have spoken. There was mention of "beautiful cities", but the visits to them happened off-stage. There was the possibility of staying on this particular planet, and not one crew member took it, pretty obviously so that they wouldn't have to refer to the episode ever again. It was pretty dreadful, and the fearsome thing is that it was better than the other episodes I've seen in the last few days.
