Col. O'Neill: Oh, here we go. Another scientist. General, please.
Capt. Carter: Theoretical astrophysicist.
Col. O'Neill: Which means?
Gen. Hammond: Which means she's smarter than you are, Colonel. Especially in matters related to the Stargate.

Capt. Carter: I'm an Air Force officer just like you are, Colonel. And just because my reproductive organs are on the inside instead of the outside, doesn't mean I can't handle whatever you can handle.
Jack O'Neill: Oh, this has nothing to do with you being a woman. I like women. I've just got a little problem with scientists.
Capt. Carter: Colonel, I logged over 100 hours in enemy airspace during the Gulf War. Is that tough enough for you? Or are we going to have to arm wrestle?

Col. O'Neill: I told him to go home.

As a bona-fide Trekker myself, I can't say I remember Voyager making any huge commentaries on the human condition. Star Trek is definitely a great place to start, but I'd stick with the original series and The Next Generation for the moral dilemmas and existential probing. (Even DS9 had its moments.)
Just off the top of my head, Next Gen had handfuls of memorable episodes such as "Measure of a Man" (dealing with civil rights?) and "The Outcast" (dealing with sexual orientation.) Deep Space Nine is a huge allegory (in my opinion) of Faith vs. Humanism, and how they're pretty useless alone, and require cooperation.
However, I still consider 2001: A Space Odyssey to be the quintessential, epitomizing commentary on humanities' journey.

I liked Voyager from Season 3 onwards, it was less hokey than the 1st few seasons. The doctor used to really annoy me in the 1st 2 but they wrote him a lot better from season 3 and I actually ended up enjoying him. He was a poor mans Data though. And Jeri Ryan as 7of9 was great too, she was a bit shaky initially but she grew into the role and it was like watching a hurt child grow out of fear, the few moments she smiled add weight to the scene.
But nothing can beat the cast of TNG I'm afraid.
I couldn't recall the episode by the name but I looked it up, yes that was a great episode!!!!!!
Since we're discussing Voyager, "The Thaw" is one of the finest episodes of Trek ever.
