Aaronicon posted:QUANTUM SLIPSTREAM it's always bothered me that later on when they try and use the Quantum Slipstream and Voyager crashes (Inside the alpha quadrant) that when future Harry Kim changes the signal that made Voyager crash into one that makes it exit Slipstream safely they have only traveled like 3 years / some insignificant distance. That's just lovely writing. The super fast exit that smacked them into an alpha quadrant moon being turned into like a regular speed exit means like 65,000 lightyears difference? No, they just wanted it so that when Voyager was destroyed by the uncontrolled exit it was plausible that Harry Kim made it back to earth (so they had to crash near Earth) but when everything worked out and the show needed to go on they didn't really go anywhere. Cthulu Carl posted:I think the best Mama Troi episode is on DS9 where she's so eager to jump Odo's goo she psychically infects everyone with a disease that makes them want to jump whoever they have a crush on. Sisko is the best captain just because when he went to the mirror universe he actually hosed Mirror Jadzia. There wasn't any moral dilemma or anything.

I hope he called her Old Man, too. He just goes with the flow that entire episode. Kidnapped by mirror universe O'Brien? Well, that's rude, but whatever. Asked to impersonate his violent doppelganger? Well, I might as well since I'm here. Beat Bashir's face in? Now we're talkin'! Plow Jadzia? Ha! Like you even have to ask. Dude's only moral dilemmas that trip were A) Does he bang Kira, too? And B) Does he bring Jennifer back because mirror universe bitches are definite into some freaky-rear end poo poo.

I can forgive that because they were doing so under pressure (currently getting shot at), were doing it by the seat of their pants and had no real way to practice it ahead of time especially since they only just salvaged the parts needed to do it, and were more concerned with preventing the ship's destruction above all other concerns. The real crime of the episode was having it star the two worst characters played by the two worst actors. (Or at least the two actors who cared the least about their roles)

Nah, like, okay...... They test their quantum slipstream drive with the leading shuttle (piloted by Harry) and have instability that causes them to exit slipstream and smack into a planet (near earth) so Harry from the future sends a signal back so that They test their quantum slipstream drive with the leading shuttle (piloted by Harry) and have instability that a signal tells them how to deal with so that they safely exit to real space (barely moved) My point is that because of lovely writing the same thing makes them do two different things based on plot. If it was consistent they would have arrived near earth safely instead of crashing the second attempt. Or barely moved but still died on the first attempt. They completely changed the outcome of the entire point of the episode purely because the plot needed resolved. You coulda wrote a story where Harry never left the Delta Quadrant and bam, makes sense. But I guess the writer was like "Well how is Harry going to get time travel technology if he doesn't make it back to Earth?!" so he travels 65,000 light years after 5 minutes in the slipstream the first time, then after 5 minutes the second time (only changing how they exit the slipstream) they just go back to episode reset status with nothing changing. What I'm saying is Voyagers bad

I could forgive a lot of things about VOY had they let us see what happened when people got back to Earth. Nope. "We made it!" Fade Out. What was great about MASH's finale is that we got to see the characters dealt with the end. Have time to say goodbye to them. Everything about this show sucked.

Even mentioning MASH in a post about Voyager is in really bad taste. What did MASH do to you? But seriously, the characters weren't really deep enough for this stuff to even matter. In MASH you saw changes, not only in the show and the format, but also in that the characters had an actual arc (personal and with each other) and didn't run into some invisible reset button at the end of each episode. There was a bit of Alda-Wankery in the later years and some episodes there were also a bit too heavy on the moralistic finger-wiggling but it was an amazing show for it's time and even if it's a lot older, still a lot better than Voyager. I don't think anyone ever put two thoughts into Voyager, from the writing staff to the viewer. It's Star Trek branded Fast Food.

Janeway explaining to her husband that she has been loving a holographic irish bartender for a few years would have been pretty funny. Or wait did he leave her while she was deployed? Or am I thinking of Stargate Atlantis and Starship Troopers where that happened?

They make Janeway an admiral because she's way too dangerous to be anything but a bureaucrat, the end. (Yeah, her fiancee moved on because everyone thought they were super dead.)

Reminder that, out there somewhere, a lonely EMH backup begins his 65 year voyage to find out how badly Janeway hosed up. Too bad Axanar hosed up the fan films, because EMH: Voyager sounds like a lucrative venture.

I'd watch Robert Picardo on a shuttle, picking up the pieces and eventually amassing huge political and military support as he makes his way back to the alpha quadrant.

During "The Search" two-parter from DS9, all I could think about was how much Baroth reminded me of Freddie Mercury circa "I Want To Break Free."  Must be the fairy ears.

Like Jesus Christ, if I were in that situation I'd bang Neelix's back holes or whatever the gently caress he has if it meant I got to go home.

Vache didn't seem to miffed by the loss of that continuum dick so honestly I think Q hosed by snapping his fingers and making you orgasm. Or dropping you into a moonscape battlefield against a legion of boar-faced french soldiers. Either way he probably talked a better game than he delivered. Mrs. Q herself was obviously getting mad side penis.

Unless they plopped him in a ship full of photonic projectors. Also gently caress that must have been a boring trip. He would have gone full rampant/V'Ger without picking up rando Neelix crewmates. Also, that's a great episode that relies on having an alterVOY cast, and hardly any regular VOYcast...

Should have been a season, or at least a few shows, dedicated to things like Janeway facing court martial for all the poo poo she pulled, Chakotay and the Maquis crewmembers being put on trial for being terrorists, and Seven of Nine and the Doctor meeting up with the TNG crew who have experience of dealing with former Borg and sentient machines. Oh, and an episode where Neelix dies over and over again until he figures out its because no one ever liked him. As an aside, I worked in a video rental place for a while, back when they existed. One customer only ever rented porn and Voyager tapes. It wasn't the porn I looked down on him for.

Tectonis posted:Bet he made it back faster than Janeway did since he actually wanted to get back home. He would also most likely land an Admiralship as well, upon bringing back to the alpha quadrant a fleet of followers. Instead of reading through years of crew logs, starfleet would have a whole population of aliens to study. Also, regarding the the 'beyond the last episode' talk, I think 7 would have been dissected to see how a long established Borg drone was able to be freed from the collective, and the trial of the century would be all about whether the Doctor should have his memory banks wiped like a droid from Star Wars. Was his mobile emitter just a relay for his program or was it able to fit his entire program, even after the modifications they made to him so he wouldn't lose his mind?
