the show never seemed as forward thinking as the other shows of the time.
They did seem to forget what century they were in. Sisko's complaints about the 60s nightclub are oddly anachronistic compared to Uhura's comments to Abraham Lincoln a hundred years earlier-- but I think that was more about Avery Brooks than the show.
There are a lot of other issues I had with the show, such as the ship being in original condition by the end.
I wanted to see the ship slowly transform as it was repaired with alien technology over the years, both inside and out-- for example, the nacelles could be replaced with an alien design at some point. I also wanted to see the Maquis as a partially civilian and segregated population-- complete with a Maquis deck, where the corridor walls were painted with murals and plants were kept in the corridors and so on to give it a more civilian feel. Another idea I had was to keep diversifying the crew. For example, that Romulan from the past that visited the ship in an early episode could have gotten stuck when the portal closed or something. The crew could have grown ever more motley.
The final season should have been the ship arriving in the Alpha Quadrant (not necessarily Earth) part-way through the final season with the remainder spent on what happened to the crew and the ship afterward.
I was thinking along the same lines. Voyager could have been met by another ship to escort her home, and that ship could have included Admiral Paris, Tuvok's wife, Harry's guidance counselor, et cetera-- all to wrap up each character's story arc.
The final season didn't totally live up to it's potential. After it ended I even wrote up a summary on how I would have done it with the ship getting to the Beta Quadrant (which they should have done considering how far they had traveled), then getting to the far side of the Romulan empire by the mid part of the season.

A lot of what you said. Then again, Battlestar Galactica is close to what Voyager should have been -- especially when the ship executed its final jump and "broke her back".

The Batman is free on several streaming platforms, so I watched it on Tubi last night. I have to admit my expectations were not that high, but the movie did deliver. Very well written with no campiness. I hate the 1960s Batman along with the other incarnation until Christopher Nolan brought us The Dark Knight.
Fun fact: I learned a few years ago that Robert Pattinson's agent is a woman who was a year ahead of me at my school (we shred an Algebra class at one time).

I spent most of today binge watching "Wednesday" on Netflix. Holy heck did they not pull any punches. Season 2 apparently starts filming at the end of April for release next year and I am here for it.
I'll be very interested in who they bring in for some now-vacant positions, those last few eps were... gory, to say the least. Though one nitpick I have: the ancestor was apparently named Goody Addams. Sorry, nope, Goody is short for Goodwoman or Goodwife, a female version of Gentleman. Even Sabrina the Teenage Witch got that right in the 90s (Salem Massachusetts visit episode, season 1 I think).

Wednesday was very enjoyable. I hope they don't lose the magic in S2.
