      C'MON, all of you get to the choppa', it's straight Terminator. I think your hesitation is a psycho-social reaction, the often weaponized "White tears" reaction: where the sight of an attractive white female( or buxom and blonde, sorry brunettes) in tears or pain trips the switch against whatever caused it, be it a circumstance or person. I actually love the idea, not as a midseason anything, but a finale for seven, speaking to the totally pessimistic argument that you can never escape your past moreover violently abused people often become abusers themselves. The aversion may have something to do with Ryan dating the producer....just saying, and ending the T&A money train was out of the question.

    The idea of "a" Voyager appearing back home only to cause trouble because they were actually aliens of somesort actually sounds like a good idea, given that Earth (thourgh DS9 & the Dominion war) had already had issues with imposter beings, this imposter Voyager & crew being welcomed home with open arms and champagne flowing folloing their triumphant return from being MIA would be a hugely entertaining episode, and a right kick in the teeth for Starfleet in general... :P

    Finally, a video dedicated to my favourite Star Trek series.
    And while we're here, why do I like Voyager best, you ask? Three reasons.
    One: It has the most interesting story line that runs through the entire series.
    Two: It's the first one with a female captain.
    Three: Naomi Wildman adds a sweetness to it. She's a real Missy. Translation: A little girl who's mature and smart for her age, and yet still super cute at heart.

Troy ordering Geordi to sacrifice himself to save the ship is a completely different matter, even if it wasn't just a holodeck simulation. Even if Tuvok and Neelik were still alive somehow buy dying, well... imagine if today's army had two critically injured personnel and chose to sacrifice a healthy soldier to harvest his organs to save the injured two. That would be considered fucking appalling and evil. The episode would have been a lot less controversial if Tuvix had a terminal disease - e.g., some genetic incompatibility between Vulkan and Talaxian DNA for example - that would have killed him within a month or so, then have Tuvix nobly sacrifice himself (*without* pressure from Janeway!) since he has so little life left anyway. That would have made it a far better episode. As it stands, Janeway is a monster.

      I have often thought that the Doctor's evolution would have made more sense if the *_Voyager's_* computer cores had been damaged when the ship was abducted into the Delta Quadrant and Captain Janeway had stolen an alien computer during their escape. The alien computer could have had immensely greater capacity but also been difficult to adapt to Federation computers, which would have provided an excuse for the Doctor's increasing complexity (yes, his remaining online constantly was a partial retcon for that, but an alien computer would have been a better explanation, IMHO).

    A number of S2 episodes for Voyager were holdovers filmed during S1 such as Projections where the Doctor is torn between whether he’s a hologram or actually Zimmerman. It puts him through multiple equally plausible scenarios before revealing it’s a clash of his program and his memories. Picardo really displays a serious range whenever his character gets a character challenge. Another comes from discovering his memories were modified to prevent him recalling a hologram equivalent of a mind break. Seven forces them to reconsider how to help him cope with the experience rather than lock the memories again. Voyager from time to time really did deliver thought provoking episodes.

      It wasn't just those four episodes, four episodes filmed during the season 2 production were intended for season 3, including "Basics, Part II" which wasn't actually filmed back-to-back with the first part. The difference, of course, is that they were written with the intention of being held over, which wasn't the case with the first season episodes, as apparent by the season 1 stardates ("Twisted" being the lone exception as a stardate was not mentioned), while the season 2 hold overs have Roxann Dawson credited as "Roxann Biggs-Dawson."

    6: Voyager crew are duplicates? Well why not...they died a ton of times and most of them are from the alternate universe anyway. The real voyager blew up trying to protect the second one from the hunters...and then the timelines change, alternate events and stuff. It would have been would been a great tie in. I would explain a lot of things, why some of the crew behaved in a weird way, why Truvok defied Vulcan logic many times, why the EMH would burst out singing randomly. other than exploring humanity, why Janeway behaved rather erratically, and why Choaktay deciided to go after Seska, knowing it would be dangerous. There is a lot of things going on that made me feel they had been replaced, since man times they broke the rules and laws to suit themselves and put the crew in harm's way, just because. Yes, the crew being chanellings would be a perfect fit to everything. Changelling Seven of Nine kept Voyager from the Bajoran wormhole on purpose, since the war was going on. .

    While I too really dislike how the episode “Tuvix” ended, I do have an appreciation for the fact that Tuvix had to die for the gravitas of the episode not to have been lost. I think the reason that the episode carried such weight, and was unafraid to show it in all is distasteful g(l)ory, hinged on the fact that Tuvix had to die.
    My preferred ending would still involve Tuvix dying, but would have ended with Tuvok and Neelix on the holodeck, sitting on a park bench quietly exchanging their thoughts, and ultimately survivor guilt with one another.
    As both would retain the memories, and emotional memory of Tuvix, they would of course be glad that they were alive but still felt shame for the manner in which that life was given back to them. Neelix being a creature of emotion, would naturally struggle with the weight of the decision made, and would turn to Tuvok for some logic to make those feelings easier to deal with - Tuvok would explain the common misconception that Vulcans do not have emotions, and would correct that by explaining that the Vulcan need for logic is because they feel emotion that much stronger than other life forms and that it almost destroyed the Vulcan people. He would go on to say that he shares Neelix’s feelings every bit as deeply as Neelix does, but explain the logic behind Janeway’s decision, and that for the good of everyone else onboard she had to make an impossible decision.
    The episode would close out with the camera panning out and away from behind the pair, and as the fade to black occurs, we see Tuvok place a reassuring hand on Neelix’s shoulder.
    This I feel would have rounded out the episode nicely, and have given a little more closeness to Tuvok and Neelix’s relationship - rewatching every episode, ad-infinitum, the subtle nuances of the actors performances started to stand out, and apart from Neelix’s deep, romantic love for Janeway, the other thing that caught my attention was just how much (even very early on) one notices just how much Neelix is craving a little closeness and validation from someone who he admired greatly, Tuvok.

    I never understood 'Night'. how is there a part of space that has no light? What is blocking the light form all the stars int eh Galaxy from being seen there? Even looking out from the very edge of the galaxy you would see the light of other galaxies. There may be large expanses in space that are void of stars, but this doesn't stop the light of the other stars from being seen.

      The episode did pay lip service to that actually - something about theta radiation absorbing all EM signatures so that nothing can be observed beyond a limited range. Granted, the explanation made no sense, and it was a "blink and you'll miss it" sort of thing, but at least it was acknowledged.

  • @MisterRorschach90

    The mere fact that transporter accidents happen and can be reversed means that they understand what’s happening and can replicate it. This also means that they have a recipe for creating some of the most over powered modified beings imaginable. Imagine making a fusion of species 8472 and an android like data. Completely resistant to all forms of technology, gravity, and the insane processing power and intelligence of the android. Or a changing and a douwd or an organian, a being made of pure energy that can turn into any state of matter and take any form imaginable, with the ability to absorb energy to grow in size to even the size of a solar system.
    Or even better fuse a q with some other species that has a specific weakness that can be exploited to take control of the q.

      Weird how wildly different peoples' impressions can be. I thought Life Signs was one of the better episodes, whereas Tuvix was *the* worst, in all of Star Trek. There were a lot of bad episodes (Spok's Brain, Sub Rosa, Threshold) but Tuvix was the only episode in the franchise where the captain - who's supposed to be a role model - became some weird Mr. Hyde monster. It's hard to have any respect for her after that.

    Why would someone be so inhumane as to think that living in a diseased body is a 'proper' choice. If you are so affected by disease that you can't move or are in constant pain, I'm sure that most people would choose to live a short happy life unaffected by disease or pain. Who would think that people are less deserving of consideration, having a choice is a great consideration. Having someone die diseased and/or in pain seems the height of inhumanity, what an awful person.

    In the flesh was an abomination of an episode, it was bad enough when the writers emasculated the Borg, to do the same thing to species 8472 was unforgivable. In Scorpion, it is established that Species 8472s DNA is so dense that nothing can penetrate it, yet in in the flesh Tuvocs Vulcan neck pinch renders him unconscious. Again in Scorpion, one member of species 8472 wipes out 15 Borg cubes, but when one is captured in this end episode, he starts crying and commits suicide. The worst scene is when Janeway is talking to Boothby and asks if they have recreated her favourite coffee shop, it’s not Boothby, It’s a member of species 8472, and your asking about a f..king coffee shop.

Not because she’s a woman because she makes some of the worst decisions. She committed murder several times throughout the show. And don’t get me started with the whole episode with Tuvix or however, you spell his name. She just flat out, murdered him. There’s no other way to look at that. They made it all you want. It is what it is. Just start the show. The destroying of the array made no sense. The caretaker had to use his special ability to activate the array. There’s no way anyone else could’ve used it but I’m sure voyager being what it was I would’ve done some sort of science mumbo-jumbo, and made it work. Lol.

    Sure I'm in the minority, but I think Year of Hell is grossly overrated. Probably because I'd heard so much in advance about how great it was, it just didn't measure up to my resulting expectations. Time travel had become overused by the franchise by this point, so it was just one more time travel story. And thus didn't grab me. Of course it hit the reset button, so there was no impact from it. So it felt inconsequential.
