I've been rewatching Voyager on Netflix because I was overdue for some bij. Just got to "Alliances." What is up with that ridiculous fanfare and applause when the Majes walk in?

The funny thing about Seven's leotard is it's an attempt to make her "sexy" and drag in the horny dude audience. But whenever they found an excuse to jam Jeri Ryan into an actual costume, be it a Starfleet jumper or period clothes on the holodeck, she looks way more attractive. It's one of those weird things, you know? It's like Jolene Blalock, she looked not nearly as hot as they were intending in that weird mottled catsuit, but then there's a lot of things about first season T'pol which looked weird and offputting, so...

Yeah, I really can't help but feel that Berman or Braga had some kind of catsuit fetish and didn't realise that the rest of the population wasn't the same.

So I just finished up part two of "What you Leave Behind" and Odo and Quark don't even so much as kiss for the whole show?

That's some seriously unresolved sexual tension.

His dad told him to just hit the weight room and do some curls whenever he felt "pent up". After those Orion sex slaves were on board, Travis had the biggest biceps in the galaxy.

I liked this joke, that gold is worthless to most species in the galaxy. The only problem I have with it though is it's been shown in TNG and previous DS9 episodes that Ferengi will accept gold as a legitimate form of currency.

Those episodes were them doing the equivalent of trading to ignorant natives for shiny baubles. "Hah, you guys sold us rights in perpetuity to this stable wormhole for a sack of gold? What a bunch of jiiblox!"

The way I discovered Memory Alpha exists was when I watched that one episode where Geordi had a beard for no reason, so I searched something like "Geordi Star Trek beard" and found out that the Star Trek wiki has an entire entry on them.

quote:

A beard was a growth of facial hair which was common among humanoids. In numerous species, such as Humans, the growth of facial hair was a secondary sexual characteristic of the male of the species. Not all males allowed their beards to grow, and they were generally removed by shaving them regularly.

Memory Alpha is so loving stupid sometimes. There's some legitimately cool information there, and you really can spend hours reading about, like, Kahless or something, but jesus. Beards. I think human beings are familiar with what a beard is, guys.

The production information on writing and filming is frequently pretty interesting but then there's also an image of every Vulcan body part on the Vulcan page, just so we can be sure that Vulcans have butts and chest like humans.

I feel like the middle of Voyager is the sweet spot. The early episodes are just them being inexplicably menaced by the lovely Kazon and living dead Vidiians, and the end is the Seven, Janeway, & Icheb Power Hour. But right in the middle you get some decent episodes which are probably really good and solid, like the best of TNG.

I should get the show on DVD someday. Maybe when the blurays are out, so the DVDs are cheap and I won't feel too bad :v:

Despite its oblique nature, your post suggested both a qualified and unqualified single-episode nadir. Threshold occupies both positions. Space Dinosaurs, while the worst of the actual lizard episodes, is arguably superior to Neelix Gets a Hololung, or Jayneway gets a Warp Particle. Logic dictates that in your revulsion, you hastily made the common error of conflating 'lizard' and 'amphibian' rather than thinking that Space Dinosaurs was worse than Threshold.

The Lizard Community accepts your apology.

Plus, the amphibians in Threshold were allergic to water which makes no loving sense whatsoever.

False. The sweet spot of Voyager is not knowing Voyager exists.

Voyager is the Trek that beats the life from Trek. Voyager is the hopeful anticipation of the Command of Rachel Garrett dashed upon the ice-rimed asteroids of Kate Mulgrew's lovely Acting of a lovely Character Written by lovely Writers.

I think the episode with Chakotay being unstuck in time and travelling the entire length and breadth of Voyager's run is a great episode. Macroviruses, Borg Seven, Seska, all the highlights of the show come back for one last hurrah. Plus, Chakotay saves the day!
