James Doohan is actually Canadian playing a Scotsman Although he was never actually a member of the Royal Canadian Air Force, Doohan was once labeled the "craziest pilot in the Canadian Air Force". In the late spring of 1945, on Salisbury Plain north of RAF Andover, he slalomed a plane between telegraph poles "to prove it could be done"—earning himself a serious reprimand. (Various accounts cite the plane as a Hurricane or a jet trainer; however, it was a Mark IV Auster.)[15][16]

Hector Beerlioz posted:James Doohan is actually Canadian playing a Scotsman Doohan was also a legit war hero. quote:He first saw combat landing at Juno Beach on D-Day. Shooting two snipers, Doohan led his men to higher ground through a field of anti-tank mines, where they took defensive positions for the night. Crossing between command posts at 11:30 that night, Doohan was hit by six rounds fired from a Bren Gun by a nervous Canadian sentry:[10] four in his leg, one in the chest, and one through his right middle finger. The bullet to his chest was stopped by a silver cigarette case given to him by his brother.[citation needed]His right middle finger had to be amputated, something he would conceal during his career as an actor. He was also one of the first dudes behind the scenes to develop the Klingon and Vulcan languages heard in the films.

Because of all you goddamn nerds, I just had to look up what episode that was and watch the whole thing. The last time I read a GBS Star Trek thread, I watched all of DS9. You will not get me to watch Voyager!

I slogged through DS9 in its entirety, and there were definitely some painful episodes... But loving Voyager? Nah. I watched every episode growing up and saw it in syndication a lot. I would rather watch any other Trek again.

That'll just piss you off for a few episodes. You'll adjust. Everything else will be the true test. Worse than Klingon pain sticks and infinitely longer.

I remember hearing a rumour back in the day that they were considering bringing Voyager back to the Alpha quadrant around season 4 or so, and turning it into something more like TNG. That would have been way better (but it still would have been bad because Voyager).

Equinox, prob best episode and what the series should have been) and had their memories scrubbed when they 'joined'.

The Sphinxster posted:Uh dude, Jap is not the preferred nomenclature. I don't know a single Japanese person who dislikes the term. It's not even a slur to anyone who wasn't involved in ww2, just a shortened form of the word "Japanese". The JDF dudes we had training with us for a bit used the term in official documentation as the identifier for their own aircraft crews like "team JAP 1".

the funny thing about robert beltran is that he kept coming up with more and more grandiose things for chakotay to do, in the hope that he'd get fired pretty sure the seven of nine/chakotay relationship was one of those things, which is why it just sort of came out of nowhere

You won't hate yourself for watching it but you'll feel like you could've done something more interesting with your life instead using all those hours to watch a show that's too bland to be terrible. Vakal posted:How did the series end anyway? Did they ever make it home? Voyager died as it lived. Another wasted opportunity. You spend 7 sessions waiting for these people to get home but they never show what they do after they get home. DS9 had a great scene on its finale that did that. MASH did too. It's like the writers had a bunch of great ideas for this show but decided to do the exact opposite of every one instead.

Chakotay had a cool gadget that sent you on psychedelic hallucinations with your spirit animal. They shelved it after the first season. Chakotay's dirty secret should've been that he was always tripping balls on duty.
