He didn't want a blowjob be wanted half her DNA to make a human/Q mulatto. All that was involved was touching fingers no actual loving but she didn't know that until it was too late and he had fingerfucked someone else.

Her race of people carry their babies between their shoulder blades and the baby comes out their butts. They die at 7 and when they meditate they can see sub-atomic particles.

Didn't she come back as some insane intra-dimensional space god or something?

The only episode I liked was "Year in Hell" where they actually had to deal with stuff like the ship breaking down and dwindling supplies. I feel like the series really lost an opportunity by not showing the ship slowly degrading and facing issues of survivalism. Yeah they threw in some borg tech but it would have been pretty cool if they would have lost a nacelle and then welded on half of a borg cube or something.

It had been explained that her people were modified to die at 7, but some had figured out how to live past 7 and also get telekinetic abilities. It was all somewhat vague.

I like how the ship has limited power and they have to ration out replicator credits and eat only alien vegetables Neelix can scavenge and Tom Paris has enough energy to run his bar in France holodeck program every night.

It was explained in the show that the holodeck had it's own nuclear reactor or something as a power source, that for some inexplicable reason was incompatible with the systems on the rest of the ship.

I know someone who worked on most of the Trek series, starting with the Motion Picture, all the way to DS9. He's proudest of his work on Voyager.

Honestly though, for the time and the budget, Voyager had some pretty great production values, so I can see why he'd be proud.

Which episode was that? I remember the one where Tuvok had made a holodeck program stimulating a mutiny on board, and the one where Species 8472 made a replica Starfleet Academy to practice taking over Earth, but not nazis.

IIRC Mulgrew has said that she acted the character this way because it's the only possible interpretation given the writing.

There was talk in the Trek thread that claimed she said in an interview that she played the character as one who's slowly losing her mind over regret and guilt for being the one who made the decision that stranded her crew in the Delta Quadrant. I've never seen that interview myself, so I can't speak to its existence.

If Voyager was just a poo poo show nobody would care about it so much, the thing that drove every Trek fan up the wall was that it started out with a brilliant loving premise and setup that then instantly got pissed away so they could just alternate between rehashing TNG scripts and doing stupid ratings stunts for Paramount's abortion of a TV network.

That's fair, but one you hit season 4 there are more good episodes per season than terrible ones. If I were making a list of 10 best Trek episodes, there would have to be an episode or two from Voyager. The only one I can think of without looking through a list is Blink of an Eye , which would have been a great episode in any of the series.

Syfe posted:

But they don't replicate uniforms every day, many people are seen traveling with bags and things, and I remember something about Naomi Wildeman's clothes needed to be put back through the replicator because she was growing so fast. Consider that it's supposed to be a society of conservation, to replicate something you need more than just it's parts, you need the parts + the energy to make it.

Though they should look more worn than they tend to.



By TNG, matter and energy were interchangeable. That's why when they finished eating they'd put the dirty plates back in the replicator, and they'd disappear. So she was putting Naomi's clothes in the have them go back into the energy bank for replicated goods.

Theoretically they would just have to collect space dust and gas to have all the goods they need, but they still have to use energy from the engine for the replicating/dereplicating process.

I like how every third planet they stopped at had a way to cut years off their journey, but was always like "nah, if we helped you we'd have to help everyone else too" and Voyager just went on its way. It's pretty easy to incinerate a planet's atmosphere from space, I'd just watch those planets burn at my hands. Once word starts to spread, planets would be bending over backwards to help us. gently caress them. It's not like we're coming back, who cares how many bridges we burn.

It's sort of funny that Ten-Forward and Quark's were static and permanent socializing locales for the crew to unwind and relax, but did the Voyager ever manage to get anything like that other than whatever fantasy holodeck place they set up like that?

Not really. Everyone either hung out in the dining hall or the old timey Irish town.

On TNG, while Ten-Forward was always supposed to be there, the original designs had lots of smaller social areas around the saucer section. I believe the idea was small lounges and coffee house type places, things like that.

I believe it was cut for budgetary reasons, but I can't quite remember.

Also, on Enterprise, you get a quick glimpse of a LCARS display of an enterprise from the 27th century or something. People love to make fun of it, because it's so bizarrely proportioned, but according to the designer, it was out of perspective because it was supposed to be a generational ship with shopping centers, several universities, and suburb areas, so it's supposed to be massive. I like that idea the best.

"Ugh, we'll have to find another route. Troi and Crusher blocked the hallway with their cameltoe mirrors again :rolleyes:"

That's basically what they did. They didn't have a cameltoe mirror set built, so they put some big mirrors up over a chunk of engineering.

I think that was the same episode where they had a spa day together. I think it's the only episode where they even spoke to each other, except for that episode where everyone on board tried to force Troi to have an abortion, though that might have been a Pulaski episode.
