Not really.  I think this applies to most shows and actors.  I'm 
talking about the early seasons by the way.  But if you bring up 
Voyager or Enterprise, yes I will be very critical but I don't 
see it as being *overly* critical.  In Voyager, the characters 
hardly (if at all) changed over time; ditto for Enterprise.  I 
mean even Harry Kim was still an ensign? till the very end.
