What was one room? Anyway, it has to be compared to the other series as they're all Star Trek. You might as well say Stargate: Atlantis shouldn't be compared to Stargate: SG1. Of course they'll be compared.

But I still don't get you. You're saying Voyager was "one room"? That's certainly not accurate: they often went on away missions, had the odd flashback and engaged in space battles. It's not like everyone was on the bridge and that was the show. Anyway, a good series can overcome such limitations. One episode of Babylon 5 featured just two men in an interrogation chamber and was one of the most powerful pieces of drama I've ever seen. The restriction on location should not give it a pass --- they had the whole Delta Quadrant to explore...
