I'm not far enough to judge Voyager just yet, but I can agree that up that Mulgrew is doing a fantastic job with some very "season 1 of a Star Trek show" stories. If she keeps up what she's doing, she will definitely carry me through the show.
Unfortunately, every season of Voyager is basically a "season 1". There's some gems scattered throughout but it never really matured into its own, the way TNG and DS9 matured into their own. There were rarely any long-lasting narrative consequences resulting from individual episodes. A lot of the actors visibly stopped caring after awhile. It didn't help that the consultant hired to flesh out the character of Chakotay was a fraud.
