Star Trek plotbunny

So as I was driving back home from work my iPod cues the Star Trek: Voyager theme followed by the Ulysses 31 theme.
So it occurs to me if Voyager would actually work better if it was written following the template of The Odyssey as they did on Ulysses 31.
Any thoughts?
"This is Master Obi-Wan Kenobi. I regret to report that both our Jedi Order and the Republic, have fallen with a dark shadow of the Empire rising to take their place. This message is a warning and a reminder for any surviving Jedi. Trust in The Force. Do not return to the Temple... that time has past. And our future is uncertain. We will each be challenged. Our trust. Our faith. Our friendships. But we must persevere. And in time, a new hope will emerge. May the Force be with you, always."

Never closely followed Voyager, so I can't say much about this idea -- except that The Odyssey as SF has been done in a book, Cross the Stars by David Drake. Well, there'd also be the question of wiping out Janeway's whole crew the way Odysseus lost all his sailors....

Good I read your warning DHBirr, else I would have needed a new keyboard.
