It still amazes me that Robert Beltran spoke out so harshly about Voyager a week or more ago, even though it's painfully true, but this is just shocking. It would seem Beltran has again insulted the writing of Voyager, insisting that he no longer likes the show. Here's an excerpt from this interview: What stands out in your mind about the sixth season? Beltran: I didn't have fun this sixth season. It was pretty dreary and tedious for me. I can't speak for some of the others, but I have a feeling it was the same for some of the others in the cast. I don't have many memories of the sixth season that are positive; I'm not saying anything I haven't said to [executive producer] Brannon Braga. I've called him up and said to him flat out, "I'm bored to tears." I told him that as an actor, I'm quite hungry to do something. This year has left me starving. And of course, [the writers] always ask me what would I like to see [Chakotay] do--I don't know what I want Chakotay to do, I'm not even that much into science fiction. Maybe they hold it against me that I'm not exactly wild about their material, and that I have been pretty vocal about it, but I've never been one to sit back and be happy with scraps thrown to me. I think it's a waste of me and a waste of so many other talented actors on the show that are way undernourished from the stuff that they're feeding us. A really interesting move.
