Did they ever do an episode where the doctor diagnoses Janeway as unfit for duty and commandeers the ship? I feel like Crusher made a big deal about being the only person on board allowed to override Picard once or twice.

In year of hell the doctor declares janeway unfit for command and orders her to step down and she just goes "lol you can bring me up on charges in 70 years or so"

The doctor doesn't actually commandeer the ship, they just relieve the captain of duty and the next most senior officer takes command.

Pretty sure that was handwaved as a holoprogram aka a computer doesn't get that kind of authority

Still, I'm pretty sure it was brought up once or twice in the early seasons.

There was one time when he threatened to relieve her for reals, I think it was during Year of Hell. If I remember right she basically said she would sooner turn him off than stop working, so he backed down and said something along the lines of "fine, but Starfleet's going to see a very nasty note in my log when we get back."

Janeway would rather erase their only medical expert onboard than stop to consider that she might be emotionally compromised enough to take a break. Astounding.

NO TENGO SCORPIO


No matter how bad your day is going VOY threadders, remember that somewhere out there Michelle Yeoh is sitting through her first table reads of an ST:D script realizing that she may never get respectable work again as some fuzzy-faced staff writer helpfully mouth breathes down her neck the correct pronunciation of "Galorndon Core".

Jesus Christ they have to bend logic so far it breaks at the end of Scorpion Part 1;

The only clear threat to Species 8472 are the Borg, and they obscenely outclass anyone else. Nevermind there being no united government or fleet like in the Alpha Quadrant.

Chakotay questions if they have the right to stop them a species openly declaring they intend to slaughter anything weaker than themselves (ie; everyone), or give the Borg the means to assimilate them because it might be morally wrong.

Janeway stares at him and explains her reasoning in a tone suggesting she'll space him if she has to.

This is my favorite part of VOY so far. Any time raspy, quiet voice Kathy starts talking you know Janeway's just about to gently caress someone up really hard, even if it screws over her crew.

It's almost as good of a "You should back off" signal as when Sisko makes this face at someone

You'd think that would also have been covered as a trivial edge case, with an virtual coin flip on hand to settle the matter. Like, what if two people come in from the same reactor accident and both have the same 0% chances?

The point was that he had the choice between redshirt and friend and he went with friend. It's a whole bit on his individuality asserting itself over his initial programming. Him being distraught over it is how you make him more human.

So when Old Janeway goes back in time to speed up the trip back home in the finale she says the trip would take 16 more years if they didn't use the transwarp hub and that they would lose a lot of people.

Everyone is alive and well in the future, even that piece of poo poo Barclay. Who is she talking about that died?

Yeah it's a very weird operational security move that pays off only because O-Brien is used to people not wanting to talk to him. The first time I noticed that line I researched to see if there was known beef and there really wasn't.

People paying American dollars to let other people know they didn't agree with someone's position on something is the lifeblood of these forums.
If voyager kept powerups between episodes they wouldn't have needed the endgame upgrades. Then again, if they kept damage and spent torpedoes and shuttlecraft between episodes, they would've been year of hell'ing from the episode where they get alternate dimension harry onward.

That Harry episode was one of the worst uses of the reset button. Even worse than when Kes crashed a shuttle into and was just blowing the ship up or someone drove a shuttle through the shuttlebay doors.

The entire ship was quantum vibrating or whatever and tearing itself apart at a molecular level. It was so bad they were going to abandon it because everything was almost completely destroyed, but then the undamaged voyager got attacked so they had no choice but to go with the bad voyager which barely worked. Which next week of course was flawlessly perfect with all of it's carpets vacuumed of the rocks they store in their consoles..

I'm sorry, I can't hear you over the sound of how awesome I am.

Not gonna lie that replicated ablative armor was pretty neat to 15 year old me

But there's so many questions.

If a piece fails, can't you just replicate a new one to replace it?

How do you un-replicate it? Is there just a MASSIVE pile of unused material sitting around in voyager's cargo bays waiting to be turned into ablative armor? Or is it something like "oh we keep it in a transporter-type buffer" gently caress it's such a weird thing.

Using every chance he had to gently caress over his castmates, being a huge baby that couldn't handle anyone but kirk having lines or screen time to the point of trying to steal people's lines to write them out of the scene, having a meltdown when he found out Spock was getting more fan mail. poo poo like that.

That's because Tim allen's character actually feels regret. He knows he's a washout who is clinging to the only fame he ever had, and the fans badmouthing him at the convention made him realize how wasted his life has been. Shatner on the other hand, has no remorse for screwing over his costars and has some delusions of relevancy.

Which was ironic, since much like Shatner, most of the actors and crew on Galaxy Quest said Tim Allen was a gigantic rear end in a top hat during shooting.
