One of the Voyagers was a few seconds ahead of the other - they started doing the pulses first. It was the same Voyager that could interact with the outside universe during the overlap. The implication was that the other was a duplicate, lagging behind slightly.

So, DS9 rewatch. Someone launch Melora out an airlock. Make sure you put a note in her personnel file saying she's insubordinate too.

The enemy ship saw the dual ships on their sensors when they approached.

McNally posted:So, DS9 rewatch. "Melora" is a perfect example of why I don't recommend that newcomers skip any episodes of DS9. VOY, sure. TNG, maybe skip some eps. But even the shittiest episodes of DS9 have a scene or two that are cool and/or important that you would miss otherwise. "Melora" has that Klingon chef that serenades them at the table.

From that Ron Moore interview, which was pre-Enterprise:quote:At one time, Moore considered the idea that he might be at Paramount to work on the next TREK television show, but things did not work out that way (see Part I). Now he is looking at TREK from the outside for the first time in many years. Moore says, "I’m not there, so I don’t know really what the situation is between Paramount and Rick and Brannon, or how far apart they are, or what the proposals are. What they shouldn’t be afraid to do, is to step away from all the STAR TREK that there is. A new series should not take place in the same time period as THE NEXT GENERATION. It should not revisit any of the current plot lines. It shouldn’t deal with the Klingons, and the Cardassians, or the Romulans and their current state. It should either go forward in the future, or back in the past. Yeah. ....yeah.

I think I had read that interview long ago but after rewatching some of Voyager and Enterprise and the newest movies it makes so much sense. It's really depressing that they treated Fuller like poo poo and was a completely toxic work environment. He also called Nemesis being poo poo before it was released.

So Chakotay and Janeway were all set to start banging at the end of season 2 but then they go back to the ship and have to ignore it, I wonder how Mulgrew felt when they had 7o9 hook up with him.

The Voyadouble episode is fairly milquetoast until the Vidiians get on Voyager and start OrganJacking people left and right, like some terrible BioBorg plague. Like holy poo poo is that dark. Moore's comments on the hollowness of the series especially ring true with the Tuvix episode and the one where the Doc has a cascading choice failure because he lets the one crewmember die instead of HKim. You literally have a sentient being begging for his life in one, and in the other you have a sentient being grappling with depression and the enormity of choice. Both wrap up just when the moral questions get too heavy.

Tuvix was actually more annoying than Neelix so I was quite happy to see him get beamed apart.

Yeah, I can kinda imagine being a bit pissed when they undermine the idea of the first woman leading captain by bringing in a younger, attractive character that gets all the good plots. Kinda like I gather Takei had issue with Koenig in the second TOS season due to Chekov getting some of the parts intended for Sulu. I hear the ENT crew pretty much all got along famously so at least one Trek series didn't have problems.

Enterprise's premise was fine, the problem was entirely on Captain Archer. It felt like they wanted him to be even more of a main character then the other captains when he was the most boring human in all of existence.

I saw DS9 S1E18 "Duet". So this is the Star Trek I've been hearing so much about. I've gone through all of TNG and I won't even bother to remember the 4 seasons of Voyager I watched, but this episode seemed to finally live up to the reputation. I think Trek is best when the problems it's presenting do not involve adjusting deflector shields or weakening the warp field to ventilate the neutrino field, or the holodeck, but concepts like revenge and redemption.

skooma512 posted:I saw DS9 S1E18 "Duet". "Duet" is shockingly good, yeah, especially for a first season episode. I love DS9 as it is, but that episode and a few others really makes me wish that we got a little more of Bajor coming to terms with the scars left by the occupation and a little less of the Prophets and Dominion war.

Payndz posted:Voyager never got any commentary even in its own Companion. The DS9 one was loving amazing, absolutely filled with interviews, behind the scenes info, even the writers and cast calling themselves out for sub-par episodes. The Voyager Companion, on the other hand, is pretty much just episode summaries with no insight or analysis of the show's production. Other than the book about the show's initial creation, that Ron Moore interview is the only meaty thing I've read about the backstage stuff.
