The Prime Directive doesn't look so perfect from the other side, in this case the Feds are the primitive culture who so badly needs that sweet sweet technology :D I started watching this series almost a year ago, and gave up after the first 3 episodes...thought it was boring, I didn't like Janeway, and I hated Neelix. Now I'm glad my friend convinced me to give it a second chance...coming off watching DS9 it's refreshing to see Star Trek happen on a starship again!! The crew, Janeway, and the plot is really growing up me!
