(Conversation with important Literary person at the MJH launch last night went roughly like this. Me: Hello, I'm Graham. Them: Hello, I'm [name withheld.] Me: Nice to meet you. Them: Torchwood's shit, isn't it?)
They claimed there was some Cyberwoman/Duff CGI Pterodactyl fight in the last ep. Cannot be true. I mean, RTD usually shows such rigour and care in his use of sf tropes.
Janeway's Hepburn on helium thing grates on me. Her character notes presumably consisted of 'likes coffee'.
FACT - best 'Voyager' episode is the one with the Rupert Everett lookalike, if only because it makes Janeway look like an idiot and then stops JUST BEFORE you gouge your eyes out from her idiocy. Subsequent minutes reveal that Janeway is, in fact, a crafty bugger and intensely psychologically damaged.
(Googling reveals that this is called 'Counterpoint'. I loves it, yes I do, but sadly not enough to overcome the Braga-hating blackness that filled my soul as a result of the ending to 'Year of Hell'. That's when I not only stopped watching regularly, but actually lost all interest. Le sigh.)
Your committment to 'Voyager' is evident - I quit paying attention long before Da Vinci kept popping up on a regular basis. Subsequent dipping of toes revealed a number of episodes with 'HOLOGRAMS HAVE FEELINGS TOO' as the moral. Oh, and 'IT'S A CRIME TO TURN A HOLOGRAM OFF'.
I was pleased to see, however, that despite all the moves into deeply turdtastic 'zomg moral dilemma' storylines, the over-arcing theme of 'Voyager' was still there - yes, Harry Kim was still as useful as a third nipple, though marginally less entertaining.
Normally I'd vote for Picard, but I feel like Kirk deserves a renaissance. The Shat is so OTT, there is just something lovely camp about Kirk, it's a shame not to give that character extra consideration. After all, Kirk is The Original, the Captain from which all other Captains sprang forth. There simply wouldn't be a Picard without Kirk, we'd have a mere talented RSC actor instead...not the talented bookend to Shat's overdrama.

Also, others have dared mention Captain Jack - but honestly, for all his seductiveness, one has to recognize that his merely distilling the essence of Captain Kirk and all his randy femme-chasing-across-the-universe. ;-)
*sticks a post-it to you that reads "dork", and pats you on the head*
I do like the description "Hepburn on helium". I don't think I recall the episode in question (heck, who am I kidding; I hardly recall any of the episodes).

Although actually with Trek, I'd like to be able to pick episodes of a list then have them burnt to disc in a custom compilation.

It doesn't do justice to her stupid, stupid hat and the awful direction.

Also, it may just be me, but that set looks *exactly* like a backdrop in Half-Life. Where's Gordon Freeman when you need him?

"likes coffee, bugs ass off Da Vinci which in turn bugs the ass off everyone else ever. Fact."

I dearly love Janeway though. Because she likes coffee. (I kid.)
