I liked Voygaer...though that's because me, my sister, and my mother all watched it together and we had fun making fun of the stupidity that is the Voyager crew, outside the Doctor and Seven (Seven quickly became our favorite since she commonly said the same things we did).
Yeah I liked Nickelodeon's answer to Voyager, "Space Cases" which actually ran with this premise and had a little fun with it. It follows a bunch of misfit students from a starfleet-esque military school, who found an alien spaceship. Then while escaping detention to explore it, accidentally wind up across the universe with two teachers and a malfunctioning android. They know where they are, but it'll take them three years to find their way back to our solar system. Along the way they learn about each other, the ship and the "strange new worlds" they encounter.
Yup, plus you had Zack from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers in the cast, what's not to love? Another show that Paramount plus needs to put into the Nickelodeon tab on their app
I think the best summary of Janeway was when yhatzee of zero punctuation wanted to have examples of a character for each of the dnd alignments. Realizing that he wanted to be more inclusive and could only think of guys he asked his viewers to message him examples since he was quoted to say. "Each one for would just be Janeway depending on the writer of the episode"
Sean OBrien This can be easily explained sort of. They still require the raw matter that is capable of generating said Parts and replacements. Although the replicators I still question certain things, also with the holographic image systems because I'm still confused on how come when in a later episode they had demonstrated H-lungs, that if they had holographic emitters plate the key points on the ship they could technically have holographic areas of the ship. Then again, we've never got people episode focusing on the holodeck of two people splitting up with one person on a higher elevation level, then a number person but in visual range. But considering that there are safety for all in the holo matrix. I assume that technically, that antimatter you create within the holo systems can qualify as the actual matter. Voyager has a lot of problems.
My biggest problem with voyager was just what you pointed out. They would incure massive damage, enough that would keep any ship in spacedock for months. Then next episode they're just dandy.
It'd have been cool if the ship became a patchwork of materials and tech they scavenged over the series, so by the time they made it back home the ship was unrecognizable.
IDK, one might point out that the fact that they have industrial replicators and that dilithium is found in plies of rock would explain why Voyager seemed to have an endless supply of spare parts for the ship.
David Spring get your Stargate out of my star trek. Wait I take that back, anything involving Stargate is much better than this, put more Stargate in this comic book.
Your intro is missing the Earth dinosaurs that evolved enough to escape the asteroid and then forgot and denied their heritage. I gotta say, that was my favorite Voyager episode in terms of sheer awesome ludicrousness.
You know a Star Trek series I want to see? If the original series was life on the frontier, then I want to see a gold rush. A new quadrent (or galaxy, subspace dimension, wormhole, place, etc) that had rich resources that leads the Romulans, Klingons, Cardasian all in a mad rush to colonize the area while Star Fleet struggles to keep up to both explore and protect whatever new life is there from exploitation and conquest.
Winter Steele Yeah, but my righting is about as good as a Ben 10 episode, so I am not gonna be the guy to flesh it out..............unless you want the captain to talk like Monkey D Luffy (I am childish is the joke here)
Linkara's 'lost in space' comment made me think of Lost Galaxy. Then I started to think about Power Rangers. Then I thought about a crossover between Star Trek and Power Rangers. That would be the funniest yet stupidest idea ever.
That raises a good question. Who's science is more realistic? Power Rangers, with their giant robots and morphing grid, or Star Trek, with their technobabble and their holodecks that break if you so much as look at them the wrong way?
LOL! I thought I was the only one who thought the Voyager starship design looked wonky. Everytime I saw the opening to the show, I'd raise my arm up high and proclaim in The Tick's voice, "SPOON!!!"
I like to think the spider waited until they got home, when Harry would've finally been offered a promotion, and then seized the opportunity while he was at his most distracted.
When you were listing all the good aspects of Voyager, I was genuinely surprised you didn't mention the theme/intro. I honestly think Voyager has the best theme music of any of the Trek series. It's powerful, soaring, it evokes themes of discovery and adventure, and it's everything a Star Trek theme should be. How about that iconic shot of Voyager passing through the gas clouds that ripple around the ship like water, or the one of Voyager silhouetted by an eclipse. It's great stuff.
"potential" is definitely a word that comes up a lot on the subject of Voyager. Hell, the opening sequence alone makes the show look like it's going to be 100x more epic than it actually ends up being.
I've been leveling a scientist on Star Trek Online the past couple of days so I actually had an Intrepid Class at one point. I also had a Horizon Class. I named it the USS Wheatly and the model number NX-10107 (one of the zeros is supposed to be a D). In retrospect I probably should have named it the USS Guilty Spark and give it the model number NX-343343.
If you're curious as to why the writers kept hitting the reset button it was because of Rick Berman. Berman wanted a show that could be syndicated and that required having all of an episodes plot lines wrapped up in a nice clean bow at the end of the episode. Which meant slamming on the re-set button at the end of each episode. The Catsuit that 7 of 9 was forced to wear was also a result of Berman's more hands on involvement in Voyager.
So now that SF debris has crossed over I'm still waiting for the two to collaborate again in reviving a Madoka Spinoff manga. ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼ "I can help with that." PISS OFF!!!
I've always been creeped out by that disembodied voice of transporter tech from ST1, saying "what we got back did not live for long... fortunately". It paints such a horrifying mental image in just a few words and I'm glad we never saw the results of the accident.
You know what bugs me the most about Voyager? The frickin' Holodeck! They're stranded millions of lightyears from spare parts and resources but rather then shut it down and use the power for more essential things they leave it running. Hell in that one episode Tom Paris even opens an ongoing holodeck Irish village program that run 24/7! How much power must that use? Then again I have the same concerns about the replicators. I'm sure if you did the math you'd find that the time they would spend collecting food or trading for it would be far less then the time they would lose from not having enough power to keep the warp drives going. And don't tell me about the mess hall thing with Neelix; that just shows they thought of it but realised that it would (gasp) actualy shake things up a bit and half-assed the thing to give Neelix something to do. What makes it worse is that Neelix waists resources as cook, remember the episode where he says he made a Klingon breakfast buffet that the crew 'weren't keen on'? How much food did they end up throwing away because of that? How is it we all put more thought into this then the creators did?
There was a brief mention in an early episode where the holodecks have their own generators but are incompatible with being used to power other more important systems.
Because it is Star Trek. Fans usually put more thoughts into it than the creators. Which is why I don't get why Voyager is so hated when especially the original and TNG had just as much if not even more dumb stuff.
inotaishu1 TOG gets a little slack for being the very 1st of its kind. The quality of the visuals and effects can easily be attributed to having a pretty low budget and sci-fi itself not being a very explored genre in tv.
I would have written an episode about how the holodeck generators have stopped running due to exhausting its power reserves. Since the generators aren't compatible with the ship's power source(and they are not able to find compatible energy sources), it needs to be removed from the ship, lest they be carrying around deadweight. I have watched exactly 5 episodes of Voyager and I have already written an episode that makes perfect sense in the context of the series, in comparison to the writers who have just decided to rip off 60% of the storylines from TNG.
Fred Casden's Basement that episode year in hell was my second favorite episode, right behind scorpion. Honestly, I think Voyager gets more hate guan it deserves. It seems like they are trying with it and I just thought of another good episode while writing this, the episode where the meet the q who wants to self terminate and John delance reprises his role as q to try and stop that from happening. I love that episode so much. In summation I am more disappointed than angry with this show.
Voyager is anything but an "angel of mercy!" That's easily the funniest part of the comic. Not your review, just the comic. You're as on-point in your humor as ever.
Yeah, they hit reset on the damage and supply issues too often (at least address it more often. I get all the friends they make help them repair and resupply, but you're not very blatant about it) but I REALLY enjoyed Voyager throughout. Never found the stories bland, and just because Janeway kept beating the Borg (by the skin of her teeth, most of the time, not to mention all the times she "won" by running away) didn't mean they weren't an ENORMOUS threat still. 8472... okay yeah, they got kind of lame. At least address the original faction is still out there and passed off, and will likely come after those left behind who just want to be left alone.
I am currently at S1 E4 of Voyager and I already don't like Janeway. She constantly throws 'Starfleet principles' in everyone's faces, when they are stranded in the middle of nowhere and they are constantly fighting to just keep running for the next 24 hours!! To a dying race that is scavenging organs just to survive, she basically gave them the middle finger(in essence anyway) and threatened to destroy them if they ever did the only thing they could to even STAY ALIVE!!! She didn't even try to reason with them to help them find an alternate solution. When Captain KIRK OF ALL PEOPLE is a kinder person to aliens, you really are an unlikeable asshole.
I actually applauded when you announced SF Debris' cameo.... ...Because I am a giant nerd who's favourite celebrities are mainly disembodied voices on the internet.
The first three seasons aside (there were a few good episodes) I thought Voyager got good when Seven of Nine was introduced, much like how TNG got better after Season 2 and Enterprise got better around Season 3. I always assumed most people agreed with that but judging from what he is saying despite liking Seven of Nine it sounds like he still doesn't like the seasons she's in despite that. Personally that conflict between the Starfleet Officers and Maquis that lacked was actually there when Seven was introduced, it was just with her representing the Borg instead of the Maquis.
I work at Colonial Williamsburg and a common question from guests we get is "are you a history major?" Of course most who work there are but I'm actually a film major. Anyways this older couple asks me this, I answer and they begin talking about their nephew and how he's doing the acting thing in Hollywood and they're very proud of him. "Maybe you've heard of some stuff he's done." They begin listing off some shows, nothing really major for me, I'm even kinda tuning out until they mention in the middle of some other random shows; "He played some guy named Perry... Paris on Star Trek Voyager." "Your nephew is Tom Paris?" "Oh yes and he's was this on thing with Tom Selleck." The funny thing is that clearly it was whatever show he was on with Magnum PI that they themselves were most impressed with their nephew.
The last comments regarding jumping from life to life reminds me of Blackadder. And then the "hoping each leap would be the leap home" reminds me of Quantum Leap. I should probably get around to watching those shows. And Red Dwarf.
Wow, SFDebris! WOO! Considering how much lip service you've has given Chuck over the years, the mutual respect and admiration you two have for each other, I'm surprised you two haven't done anything together before. Though, to be fair, he does have a catalog of stuff to review literally months long and won't take requests for anything that isn't already related to stuff he's reviewed before. Still, hearing the mock Janeway voice with some demonic, satrical dialogue is always a treat.
Also, SF Debris, as far as I know, has never appeared on camera, so, any crossover would be something like this, with a picture of his logo and a voice-over.
CheeseCrusader42 I think that would be obvious for any regular viewers of his. ***** Maybe that explains why a lot of the stuff he reviews include actors who seem barely awake or invested enough to participate in the plot.
I really like the Voyager’s design personally, and that sleeker era of Starfleet designs in general like the Sovereign Class. I really don’t think about trowels very often, even when I have done gardening work for my parents in the past
based on the premise of the show, we should been following the crew of the equinox from "equinox' and most of the episodes should have felt like 'scorpion"
See had they reversed polarity on the angular confinement beam and boosted the matter gain by routing it through auxillery ODN junction on deck 6 they could have avoided all that.
An episode of Voyager was my introduction to Star Trek- I don’t remember the title, but it revolved around someone being sent to the brig for interfering in something despite orders not to. It didn’t leave much of an impression, but that might be because I was seven or eight and didn’t really pay attention.
I'm sure someone has mentioned this already (but I didn't see it) the Ralph McQaurrie/Ken Adam design used as inspiration for the Discovery was made for the 1975/76 movie attempt "Planet of the Titans" not Phase II - by the time Phase II was a thing, Gene had already brought Matt Jefferies back (rescuing him from "Little House on The Prairie") and Ralph had moved onto Battlestar Galactica and The Empire Strikes Back.
The revised Battlestar Galactica was, in lot of ways, Voyager done right. Granted, it had problems of its own, but overall it did the concept of "Spaceships and its crew roaming the space with limited supplies" much better.
+Linkara-AtopTheFourthWall Goodness, how did I miss that? Did I mention I was watching in the park on my break? The flies distracted me. Let's go with that.
Ah, UPN, a network that had to rely completely on WWF Smackdown to keep it afloat. Hell, UPN bought the Rock on for one episode and the Voyager writing team did all they could in that episode to bash combat sports fans.
good episode, seven, the emh and that little alien girl are the only ones unaffected by an alien cloud creature that makes the other crew members dream of earth.
A couple of years ago I started watching the Star Trek series on Netflix one after the other and I was enjoying myself for the most part however there was one episode from another series that I thought for sure was the voyager episode but it turned out to be an enterprise episode making me think that it was at least conceived for voyager. The episode where they find a abandon space station that’s completely automated and repairs your ship that had a dark nefarious goal. Thinking back on that episode I thought for sure it was a voyager episode at the time because I had forgotten how many times the reset button had been hit for voyager.
Neelix survived on his own in his own ship for quite a while picking up knowledge of the region and skills along the way. He wasn't just a cook. Though that became his primary purpose
+FNGLHR I'd say that's more a flaw in the technology than the cook, as much i liked the idea of the bio neural gel if it can be made ill from cheese then god help them if anyone who works near them has a cold or other contagious disease lol
darman12able He's still useless in pretty much every other aspect he applies himself in and constantly butts in where he doesn't belong. Are you some rare creature only spoken of in whispers? A Neelix fan?
+FNGLHR oh god no more apathetic towards him didn't care for him but can't manage the hate others have. Ethan phillips wasn't bad in the role but was more the way he was written. Personally if he was more like quark rather than a less annoying jar jar binks and actually challenged some of the principles and morality the voyager crew and janeway in particular had you could have had some interesting interactions but ultimately his character was kind of an embodiment of the show half arsed and held back from breaking away from formula.
+darman12able It's like that scene in the siege of ar-55 where quark notes how humans become after you take away their comforts and holo suits and showers if voyager had kinda expanded on that and maybe done a subtle series long arc about trying to keep your humanity in the most dire of situations and whether it is worth compromising on your principles to protect those you care about or are relying on you to get them home that you could have rescued voyager even if you ditched the marquis idea like they did
Good video. I'm surprised you didn't comment on Janeway proving she was smarter than Archer by leaving her dog at home. I remember watching Voyager except I watched it off-and-on. Thus I never noticed the resets, I just assumed the problems were dealt with in episodes I missed. Silly me, right?
20:10 - Soo, they ended up on the NX-01? Or a Tandaran Concentration Camp? Personally, SF Academy and Early Voyages were my two favorite titles from this run at Marvel.
I swear, the technobabble is actually worse in this comic than it was in the show. That's impressive...! I actually like the insane plan of using Voyager's landing-gear to grab onto another ship. That's pretty outside the box thinking! Kinda surprised they didn't use some kind of giant (probably quantum) fishing rod to call back to the holodeck scene, though.
There's an entire arc of Star Trek Online where you do quests with Captain Harry Kim XD I know it's hardly canon, but, you know. They got the real actor back to voice him, so I like to believe he made Captain eventually.
Have you seen Strange New Worlds. I haven’t since I don’t have Paramount + (Thanks for taking the other shows off Netflix before I could finish them Paramount) but I’ve heard it’s a step-up from the other Kurtzman Trek.
Wow. Even out of context, Worf shouting "Death to the opposition" is still freaking hilarious.
Woooooooow.....Ok, i gotta ask, How bad was Worf in that game? And why do i feel like Qwark was a player as well
I liked Voygaer...though that's because me, my sister, and my mother all watched it together and we had fun making fun of the stupidity that is the Voyager crew, outside the Doctor and Seven (Seven quickly became our favorite since she commonly said the same things we did).

Lol. Nickelodeon did Voyager better than Star Trek. That's sad.
Dr. Penguinstein space cases was one of my favorite shows ever. That show ended way too soon.
Yup, plus you had Zack from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers in the cast, what's not to love? Another show that Paramount plus needs to put into the Nickelodeon tab on their app

janeway's "shoulder entities" nearly had me on the floor laughing! this was great!

nope I did too
ME TOO!
I did ! I thought I was the only one
i clapped so hard, i broke the sound barrier.

I really love the writing on parody Janeway. If there was an actual series with this Janeway, I wouldn't hesitate to watch it.😂😂😂

Honestly wont be shocked if it happens Star Trek has team up with almost everyone by now from X-men to Transformers to even Xenomorph Aliens
Love this! I adore SF Debris to death and it was great getting to see Parody Janeway again!
Liked the episode and the SF Debris guest appearance.
I agree that Voyager had a LOT of problems. Yet in spite of them, I still have a fondness for the show that I can't adequately explain...
Love Sf Debris, but no one will ever top Mike Nelson's Janeway impression. It's the very definition of horrifyingly accurate.
♫ROLLIN DOWN THE RIVA! ♫

"Deploy the foot pads" is probably the silliest technobabble I've heard in a while~
Jeez! That's got to be the most flowery prose I've ever seen in a comic.
This episode never ceases to get a huge goofy grin out of me. SFDebris' parody!Janeway is so delightfully ebil!!!
I applauded! Well, not literally, but like.. in my heart.
The first three seasons aside (there were a few good episodes) I thought Voyager got good when Seven of Nine was introduced, much like how TNG got better after Season 2 and Enterprise got better around Season 3. I always assumed most people agreed with that but judging from what he is saying despite liking Seven of Nine it sounds like he still doesn't like the seasons she's in despite that. Personally that conflict between the Starfleet Officers and Maquis that lacked was actually there when Seven was introduced, it was just with her representing the Borg instead of the Maquis.
Me and my friends “dipsticks! 👏🏼👏🏼 assemble!” (I’m a dipstick too tho)
Thanks for the narration of the inner though of the captain =)
I work at Colonial Williamsburg and a common question from guests we get is "are you a history major?" Of course most who work there are but I'm actually a film major. Anyways this older couple asks me this, I answer and they begin talking about their nephew and how he's doing the acting thing in Hollywood and they're very proud of him.
"Maybe you've heard of some stuff he's done."
They begin listing off some shows, nothing really major for me, I'm even kinda tuning out until they mention in the middle of some other random shows;
"He played some guy named Perry... Paris on Star Trek Voyager."
"Your nephew is Tom Paris?"
"Oh yes and he's was this on thing with Tom Selleck."
The funny thing is that clearly it was whatever show he was on with Magnum PI that they themselves were most impressed with their nephew.
That's pretty cool. The scripts were awful but the cast was great.
I'm the only one who wants to see a comic where the vision , r2-d2 and data go on a adventure together and fight golden age marvel viilans.
Do you know Mr. T is 60? He doesn't look a day over 30, so kudos, T-Man.
The last comments regarding jumping from life to life reminds me of Blackadder. And then the "hoping each leap would be the leap home" reminds me of Quantum Leap. I should probably get around to watching those shows. And Red Dwarf.
5:42 that guy looks an awful lot like Cale from Titan A.E
Wow, SFDebris! WOO! Considering how much lip service you've has given Chuck over the years, the mutual respect and admiration you two have for each other, I'm surprised you two haven't done anything together before. Though, to be fair, he does have a catalog of stuff to review literally months long and won't take requests for anything that isn't already related to stuff he's reviewed before. Still, hearing the mock Janeway voice with some demonic, satrical dialogue is always a treat.
SF Debris also had a brief cameo for the One More Day review, which I think was also Linkara's 200th episode.
starwarsnerd100 True. Very true.
Also, SF Debris, as far as I know, has never appeared on camera, so, any crossover would be something like this, with a picture of his logo and a voice-over.
SF Debris maybe thinks cameras steal souls.
CheeseCrusader42 I think that would be obvious for any regular viewers of his.
***** Maybe that explains why a lot of the stuff he reviews include actors who seem barely awake or invested enough to participate in the plot.
I remember being so psyched to see Voyager when it was coming out. And then it came out. And I saw it. smh
I really like the Voyager’s design personally, and that sleeker era of Starfleet designs in general like the Sovereign Class. I really don’t think about trowels very often, even when I have done gardening work for my parents in the past
Happy Star trek Anniversary!
based on the premise of the show, we should been following the crew of the equinox from "equinox' and most of the episodes should have felt like 'scorpion"
sf debris! the voice that helped me sleep in college :) I'm excited (and less sleep deprived now)
and now I also use linkara.
See had they reversed polarity on the angular confinement beam and boosted the matter gain by routing it through auxillery ODN junction on deck 6 they could have avoided all that.
Happy 50,000 subscribers!

Voyager is the reason I like Star Trek.
An episode of Voyager was my introduction to Star Trek- I don’t remember the title, but it revolved around someone being sent to the brig for interfering in something despite orders not to. It didn’t leave much of an impression, but that might be because I was seven or eight and didn’t really pay attention.
Wow the reruns are getting close to today. Just a little over a month to go!
You should have put Dwayne "the Rock" Johnson in the enemies list
CM Punk agrees.
@Mr Critical You use IMDB?
+Clay3613 no I just know he made an appearance
Wait what?!
He appeared on Voyager as an Alien warrior who Seven of Nine had to fight
I'm sure someone has mentioned this already (but I didn't see it) the Ralph McQaurrie/Ken Adam design used as inspiration for the Discovery was made for the 1975/76 movie attempt "Planet of the Titans" not Phase II - by the time Phase II was a thing, Gene had already brought Matt Jefferies back (rescuing him from "Little House on The Prairie") and Ralph had moved onto Battlestar Galactica and The Empire Strikes Back.
The flashback talked about fishing. The Talaxians were "fishing", for a transporter capable ship. That's the purpose of the flashback.
Makes sense, or rather they used their own ship as bait to get a teleporting capable ship to teleport them.
Well, at least this led up to Ron Moore using all the good ideas he had on rebooting BSG.
I'd happily pay an ill-advised sum to hear Mr. T read a Star Trek monologue.
That Worf "Death to the Opposition" line from DS9 would never fly in this day and age. But it made my day. Kudos. :)
The revised Battlestar Galactica was, in lot of ways, Voyager done right. Granted, it had problems of its own, but overall it did the concept of "Spaceships and its crew roaming the space with limited supplies" much better.
TheWolverine1987 Yes, I will give it that, but eventually they still ran out of ideas.
It's always great seeing Parody Janeway.
Is the use of "Genesis" a subtle Trek reference or just what you had on hand?
Uhhh... I deliberately called it the Genesis planet. There was nothing "subtle" about it. ^^;
+Linkara-AtopTheFourthWall Goodness, how did I miss that? Did I mention I was watching in the park on my break? The flies distracted me. Let's go with that.
Maybe he is referring to the Sega Genesis.
The Nostalgia critic made a joke about that in his ST:3 review.
dudeman5685 the AVGN made a similar joke even before that.
Perhaps it's a reference to Phil Collins?
...Did you know your Janeway impression sounds almost exactly like Mike's impression from MST3K?
And it is glorious
Ah, UPN, a network that had to rely completely on WWF Smackdown to keep it afloat. Hell, UPN bought the Rock on for one episode and the Voyager writing team did all they could in that episode to bash combat sports fans.
good episode, seven, the emh and that little alien girl are the only ones unaffected by an alien cloud creature that makes the other crew members dream of earth.
Am I the only one who unironically and sincerely loved Voyager?
A couple of years ago I started watching the Star Trek series on Netflix one after the other and I was enjoying myself for the most part however there was one episode from another series that I thought for sure was the voyager episode but it turned out to be an enterprise episode making me think that it was at least conceived for voyager.
The episode where they find a abandon space station that’s completely automated and repairs your ship that had a dark nefarious goal. Thinking back on that episode I thought for sure it was a voyager episode at the time because I had forgotten how many times the reset button had been hit for voyager.
The Shoulder Spider must be obeyed.
Neelix survived on his own in his own ship for quite a while picking up knowledge of the region and skills along the way. He wasn't just a cook. Though that became his primary purpose
And then he almost killed the ship with cheese.
So yeah, he's a shit cook.
+FNGLHR I'd say that's more a flaw in the technology than the cook, as much i liked the idea of the bio neural gel if it can be made ill from cheese then god help them if anyone who works near them has a cold or other contagious disease lol
darman12able He's still useless in pretty much every other aspect he applies himself in and constantly butts in where he doesn't belong.
Are you some rare creature only spoken of in whispers? A Neelix fan?
+FNGLHR oh god no more apathetic towards him didn't care for him but can't manage the hate others have. Ethan phillips wasn't bad in the role but was more the way he was written. Personally if he was more like quark rather than a less annoying jar jar binks and actually challenged some of the principles and morality the voyager crew and janeway in particular had you could have had some interesting interactions but ultimately his character was kind of an embodiment of the show half arsed and held back from breaking away from formula.
+darman12able It's like that scene in the siege of ar-55 where quark notes how humans become after you take away their comforts and holo suits and showers if voyager had kinda expanded on that and maybe done a subtle series long arc about trying to keep your humanity in the most dire of situations and whether it is worth compromising on your principles to protect those you care about or are relying on you to get them home that you could have rescued voyager even if you ditched the marquis idea like they did
Well hot damn, Linkara, you finally did a crossover with Chuck! :)
SF Debris!
when he said "Feel free to aplaud" by keychain decided to distance itself from my laptop, and almost fall down the table... what?
Good video. I'm surprised you didn't comment on Janeway proving she was smarter than Archer by leaving her dog at home. I remember watching Voyager except I watched it off-and-on. Thus I never noticed the resets, I just assumed the problems were dealt with in episodes I missed. Silly me, right?
I applauded for SF Debris! Anyone else?
20:10 - Soo, they ended up on the NX-01? Or a Tandaran Concentration Camp?
Personally, SF Academy and Early Voyages were my two favorite titles from this run at Marvel.
I wish Linkara could come up with reasons to bring in SF Debris more often. And he should also use the shoulder spider at every opportunity ...
This show goes on my list of amazing premises squandered by incompetence.
I swear, the technobabble is actually worse in this comic than it was in the show. That's impressive...!
I actually like the insane plan of using Voyager's landing-gear to grab onto another ship. That's pretty outside the box thinking! Kinda surprised they didn't use some kind of giant (probably quantum) fishing rod to call back to the holodeck scene, though.
to be fair, I think there was an episode where a Vulcan expressed envy of Data...
One more week to go until we catch up
Uh, my request is coming next :D . Looking forward to it :D .
I may be in the minority here but Voyager is actually my favourite Star Trek show
Captain Janeway would go on to dye her hair purple, and then be promoted to Vice Admiral under the leadership of Leia Organa in the Resistance ;P
Nah. Holdo was actually competent and not a psychopath. Plus she had reason to be pissed at Poe.
Can I just get a compilation of SF Debris' Janeway quotes?
There's an entire arc of Star Trek Online where you do quests with Captain Harry Kim XD I know it's hardly canon, but, you know. They got the real actor back to voice him, so I like to believe he made Captain eventually.
Have you seen Strange New Worlds. I haven’t since I don’t have Paramount + (Thanks for taking the other shows off Netflix before I could finish them Paramount) but I’ve heard it’s a step-up from the other Kurtzman Trek.
I always thought the Voyager looked like a public restroom toilet.
God bless you chuck
