Something I would have liked to have seen is Vidiians being assimilated by choice on the basis that being part of the Collective had to be better than suffering from the Phage. Instead of them just being enemies, they should have really leaned into how horrible it would be to live with that plague hanging over their heads. It’s also implied in an episode or two that there are uninfected populations somewhere, probably under quarantine, which would have been interesting to explore.
The worst was the in-universe explanation for why all of the aliens are shaped like humans. That was just cartoonishly bad. I mean, I get it. There’s very few ways of casting actors that can play a sentient shade of blue.
But just leave it. You don’t have to explain it. We all know. You especially don’t have to explain it in a way that demonstrates no one involved had ever taken Bio 101.
Yeah, Stargate did it better, because kidnapped humans inhabiting the galaxy makes more sense. Solves the “everyone looks human” problem without the “we have proof of evolution here” problem.
Why could they not do in hundreds of years what the EMH did in a few days? 🤷🏻♂️
…And the combined total of thousand of years of scientific advances of myriad species. The Federation’s strength is in it’s diversity. No doubt the Vidiians made enemies of more than one species that were able to help them, too.

Why could they have not simply taken Voyager’s offer for a cure and instead attacked them?
The concept was cool; their execution has got to be one of the weakest of the entire franchise.

I’d still rate the warp 10+ as the worst of all star Trek. Voyager was cool but there’s so many plot holes everywhere.
If you’re watching star trek for consistency and scientific accuracy you’re gonna have a bad time.
