Never knew it was that bad. I also read that Beltran wanted to leave the show so he asked for some outrageous sum of money thinking the network would never pay it, which of course they did. Automatic Slim fucked around with this message at 00:08 on Apr 22, 2022 |

The best Star Trek shows had two people driving the space ships. They went down hill when they only had one person driving the space ships. Bring back two drivers.

treiz01 posted:Voyager is the Star Trek equivalent of a third-rate procedural crime drama. That's right. You won't hate yourself for watching it but you'll feel like you could've done something more interesting with your life instead using all those hours to watch a show that's too bland to be terrible. Vakal posted:How did the series end anyway? Did they ever make it home? Voyager died as it lived. Another wasted opportunity. You spend 7 sessions waiting for these people to get home but they never show what they do after they get home. DS9 had a great scene on its finale that did that. MASH did too. It's like the writers had a bunch of great ideas for this show but decided to do the exact opposite of every one instead.

Milky Moor posted:the funny thing about robert beltran is that he kept coming up with more and more grandiose things for chakotay to do, in the hope that he'd get fired I remember reading that he really hated that because it came out of nowhere. Chakotay had a cool gadget that sent you on psychedelic hallucinations with your spirit animal. They shelved it after the first season. Chakotay's dirty secret should've been that he was always tripping balls on duty.

One of the better episodes was the beings who came into contact with Voyager and ended up thinking they were the Voyager crew but had to get back to their own planet because they couldn't survive anywhere else. Automatic Slim fucked around with this message at 00:15 on Apr 22, 2022 |

Those super soldiers should've made Picard their Emissary. Even Starfleet officers have massive egos that can be sucked up to. Then you get to be on the fast track to citizenship.

Hillary Clintons Thong posted:man speaking of rikers beard this might be my favorite Trek moment Yeah,that wasn't exactly a big reveal because it didn't reveal anything. They also never resolved that plot line or a few Maquis plot lines because they couldn't get the actors to come back. Characters just died off screen. But no matter what version, Riker's still get the smug. That's that be natural thing Geordi keeps tripping over. Automatic Slim fucked around with this message at 06:02 on Jun 2, 2016 |

Hillary Clintons Thong posted:Ok I've never watched much of Voyager. Maybe most of season 1 before I gave up. Should I or shouldn't I watch Threshold because this thread kinda got me amped up for it. No, unless your unsober. The problem with Voyager is that it really isn't a terrible show, just bland. Voyager leaves most people with an empty unsatisfied feeling like they've wasted an hour of their life when anything else done with that time could've been more rewarding.

That must have been exclusive to the plot of the episode, then. TOS, Nex Gen, and DS9 all had turns at warp. NOT CANON.

Ds9 had that evil admiral in charge of the lakota, and that ship transporting Dukat got ambushed and blown up. TNG has too many to mention. Earth is a utopia populated by well adjusted people. The outliers have a propensity for reckless decisions and danger. Starfleet wasn't just created for protection and exploration but to get the malcontents off the loving planet.

Fat Shat Sings posted:Voyager is poo poo an I only have passing memory of some of the shittier parts, but did anyone ever call Neelix out for being a psycho / borderline violent over his 3 year old girlfriend or the fact that she was 3 years old? All the above would've made the show interesting. Instead, all those topics were skirted around and forgotten as blandly as possible. And our 3 is Kes's 30, but the fact that Star Trek has a bunch of pedophiles as fans makes you wonder if the that was some kind of discrete fan service.
