Okay, a bit of a niche one here, but I think it's worth exploring. When Star Trek: Voyager began, French Canadian actress Geneviève Bujold was cast as Captain Nicole Janeway, but dropped out after just a few scenes of the pilot, apparently due to disagreements with the producers over how to play the character.
Now we all know how those producers' opinions worked out with Kate Mulgrew.
So let's say that Bujold gets her way on a few issues and decides to remain in the role. Would Voyager have been any more successful than OTL? Particularly given that a lot of people put the start of Star Trek's long decay at this point...
