In Future's End they go back in time and it's explicitly stated that the only reason the microprocessor revolution happened was because that douche CEO got his hands on the time ship. So how could the microprocessor have also been invented when it was in JJTrek if, in order for the time ship to go back to 20th century Earth, Voyager needed to both exist and be stranded in the Delta Quadrant to kick off the string of events in the first place.

Voyager expects me to believe that Tuvok, a Commander in Starfleet for like 100 years and served under Captain Sulu but has never heard of the Nazi's or seen a Swastika. I think maybe Tuvok just resents being on a Human ship and is being an rear end in a top hat to everyone constantly.

Holy poo poo does Voyager go out of its way to moralize poorly and loudly at me during this last season.

Lineage is about how Blanna is a monster and it's immoral to genetically alter kids for reasons

Repentance is a heavy handed tale about jailing minorities

The Void is about how working together is good and how Janeway will literally throw away any chance of escape in order to preserve ~Starfleet Principles~

Workforce is a tale about capitalism run amok.

Author, Author is another AI/HOLO RIGHTS :argh: episode

Friendship One is about why the Prime Directive is so so so important and we shouldn't mess with native development

Natural Law, in case you missed Friendship One and needed to be hit over the head with the lesson some more, is about why the Prime Directive is so so so important and we shouldn't mess with native development

Wasn't getting into a fight with the species that was native to the system in Natural Law and turning the shield back on actually just a greater violation of the prime directive?

They say another species put the force field in place 'centuries' ago. So some assholes came through and violated the PD, interfering in the internal workings of these two civilizations and then Voyager comes in and Janeway says "Two wrongs make a right" before getting into a firefight, turning it back on and flying away.

I don't think Voyager took the PD seriously enough.

Janeway isn't my favorite Star Trek Captain.

I was put off by her decision-making in the very first episode. I mean there they are in the Delta quadrant, basically trapped, but in their presence is the Caretaker. Do they hit him up for the necessary means to get back to the Alpha quadrant? Nope, for the sake of science, exploration, and "hay guyz we need a plot device to trap these suckers to enable them to go on crazy adventures for this new series", instead of raiding the Caretaker's technology like shoplifters at a dollar store they shrug their shoulders and decide it's okay to be stuck for the foreseeable future, never to see their loved ones again.

Like 5 or 6 years later Janeway feels really bad about it for an episode though and mopes in her quarters the whole time.

EDIT: Is it weird that Captain Picard Day falls so close to Fathers Day? This is what I would have expected for Commander Riker Day :riker:.

One thing I've noticed in my watch through of Voyager is that whenever someone says something like:

"Doesn't this fresh morning air feel good in your lungs?"

Neelix always responds with an under his breath passive-aggressive "it's just lung" which I find hilarious. It's probably the most referenced piece of continuity on the show.

I want this to be true so badly

From the transcript of Microcosm:

[Jefferies tube]

...
(They crawl along a short tube to a junction. Janeway uses her tricorder again.)
...
(They crawl to another junction.)
NEELIX: It's so hot. My head is spinning.
JANEWAY: You've got a high fever, fluid in your lungs.
NEELIX: Lung.
JANEWAY: That alien compound is acting quickly. Try to hang on. Just three more decks.
NEELIX: Aye, aye, Captain.

Janeway doesn't even bat an eye to it. No one ever does every time it happens.

EDIT2:

From Before and After:

[Mess hall]

(Neelix, in Starfleet uniform, is bringing out a blue-covered cake.)
ALL [singing]: For she's a jolly good fellow, for she's a jolly good fellow, for she's a jolly good fellow, which nobody can deny.
NEELIX: Happy ninth, Kes. Go ahead, make a wish. Well, what are you waiting for? Blow out the candles. It's good to see that old lung is still working, Kessie.
PARIS: Happy birthday, sweetheart.
NEELIX: Well, you know, I haven't made one of these since, well, since I became security officer.
TUVOK: Perhaps you would care to relinquish your commission and return to the scene of your former triumphs.

Like 20 pages back people were talking about Farscape and I just wanted to say that Farscape gets good when Scorpius shows up towards the end of season 1 and the exact moment the show gets bad is the doubler episode where they make 2 John's.

The best part of The Peacekeeper Wars is Rockne S O'Bannon walking into the writers room and killing off every character that was added after he left the show.

Also Scorpius is the best scifi villain bar none IMO. You are allowed to have a different opinion but you're wrong. :colbert:

I want to love the show because they made a serious effort with the puppets and I like a lot of the actors, but the show has that irritating blend of corniness and melodrama unique to commonwealth sci-fi shows like Doctor Who and Torchwood.

Torchwood was garbage until the Children of Earth and Starz miniseries when it edged toward borderline watcable. The Starz series was good but like 3 episodes too long.

I watched a few HD episodes of Farscape and you can see some of the moulding lines on Rygel but Pilot is still an impressive animatronic puppet.

Thinking about it destroying the caretaker array was probably the best career move Janeway could have made. If she went back to the badlands she would have just filed a report and continued plodding along doing poo poo for admirals. Instead she gets to be the ultimate authority on a ship she calls her own and do whatever she wants for the next 70 years while heading back towards Earth. Even if she gets home early she'll immediately get an admiralship from it.

It's worse than that, because it's a callback episode to an earlier kind of lovely Pod People episode.

The one time someone on the staff decides to build on something that isn't "Seska is a mean manipulative bitch!" Or "this retarded holoprogram with Mayberry that we're all running" And they turn it into the Grimdark episode.

We should have known something was up the moment repli-Janeway didn't destroy the experimental drive that would get them back in a few months.

"Do you really think I'm pretty?" she asked, gasping mid-sentence
as her vagina was stimulated. "Enough to make you excited?"

"Of course, Naomi!" Neelix shot back gleefully, rewarding her
candor with a slick hand to massage the miniscule bumps further up
along her body. "Watch!"

As the supple blonde watched in interest, he pressed his stiff rod
against her chest, letting the bulbous head throb appreciatively. Then,
Neelix imagined the most erotic thought he could muster -- if he simply
ceased all foreplay and rammed his cock up Naomi's unspoiled vise,
pummeling her holy place irregardless of all cries of alarm until he
filled her inviting womb with his potent seed. As he assumed, his
faithful tool swelled noticeably longer in expectation of being allowed
to fulfill his deepest desires.

Swooning at the realization of her body's power, Naomi allowed
herself to enjoy Neelix's ministrations for a while more before
continuing. "So what do you... do when it's like this?" she inquired
curiously, eyes fluttering open and closed as her nipples and clitoris
throbbed with intense gratification.

"I usually have to play with it a bit." Neelix answered decisively

I always assumed Neelix had a penis like a dog or cat that kind of slid out of a sheath but that doesn't seem to be the case here so my immersion is ruined.







Still jacked it to completion though so 4/10.
