   That depends what you mean by "new". You got new stories, new   
   characters, etc. What you didn't get is stupid new ideas that make a   
   show which is "Star Trek" in name only. People like "Star Trek" because   
   it is "Star Trek" - if you want "new", then go and watch a "new" show.   
   Voyager was part of the established Star Trek franchise, so it's not   
   meant to be bring anything "new".   
      
   It's that kind of "has to be new" stupidity that is being practised in   
   Hollyweird these and results in moronically changed, ill-fitting   
   rubbish like Enterprise or shows that bare almost no resemblance to   
   what they're SUPPOSEDLY part of.   :-\
