I'm watching DS9 for the first time and it is loads better than that awful voyager.

Remember "year of hell" in voyager? Yeah, DS9 does that for like a season.

TNG is still the best though because of Worf saying "HE IS A BORG!" all teary eyed.

Year of Hell was supposed to be a season, but Rick Berman hated the idea of continuity. Can't let those idiot viewers watch an episode that references previous events, they might get confused!

Something magicked Voyager a few thousand light years further along towards home, so all we have left is a case of replicated Spaghetti-Os that they traded to us for some antimatter.

But don't worry, I'm sure there are still plenty of Kazon around to keep Voyager company wherever they ended up, despite how little sense that makes.

"Tiny Trains"

There was a dead (deaf!!) kid at my school who sometimes wore a star trek shirt with the TOS enterprise on it. We all called him Banana Nose because he had a big brown birthmark covering a lot of his nose. Everyone was scared of him because he was super violent, but he was probably super violent because kids treated him like a scary monster.

"Hi Everybody!"
Fury;

Tuvok comes before Janeway, who launches into a stern and angry tirade of learning his "secret" after sifting through "teraquads of data" and goes on about knowing him for twenty years and all the things they did together like he's committed some deep act of betrayal. Tuvok has the expression of someone who knows they are deeply hosed and just waiting to see what they're going to be executed for.

The reveal is that it's his birthday, and she replicated him a cake.

It could've come off as jovial or light-hearted, except Janeway's tone made it sound like she was about two seconds shy of pulling a phaser and shooting him. And Tuvok's expression implying he thought the same thing. Also how the gently caress do you know someone for 20 years, as one of your most closest friends, and not learn their birthdate until now? :psyduck:

Anyway the actual plot is an old and very aged Kes somehow turning up in a shuttle about 35,000 lightyears from where they last saw her. After requesting permission to come aboard, which she's granted, she instead just slams her ship into the hull before transporting aboard and walking with a stern expression through the corridors while they explode behind her with PSYCHIC FURY (To be fair, it's actually a pretty good set of special effects watching the corridor rip apart behind her, even with an angle shot of loving up a couple of security officers dumb enough to shoot her.). Her end-goal is to walk into engineering, lay hands on the Warp Core... and go back in time to about two months after Voyager first came to the Delta Quadrant. It kills B'Elanna in the process with a stray discharge of wavy :techno: lightning but who cares, we're back in time at one of TWO key story events in the show (the other being Seven joining the crew after Scorpion).

Kes disguises herself as her past self (give-or-take a few extra noticeable kilos), and past-Tuvok somehow gained future-knowledge because the past Voyager couldn't possibly handle a story on its own. Turns out Kes' objective is to turn Voyager over to the Vidiians because THEY LEFT HER BEHIND! :qq: and in exchange for sending the Vidiian's Voyager's technical specifications she wants safe passage back to Ocampa with her past self (who also mysteriously looks several years older than she did in season 1...) Incidentally; Tuvok's foreknowledge of the future will have absolutely zero impact on the episode's resolution that couldn't be figured out by basic logic and a tricorder.

When the Vidiians rock up in a cruiser and start grappling onto the ship, we actually get some pretty decent external shots of the crew's technobabble managing to detach one of the grapples, while deciding "gently caress it" and pulling away at Impulse speeds so a section of the hull gets ripped off to get rid of the other grapple (and actually animating an external shot of doing so, no less!). The final showdown between Janeway and Kes could've been interesting if Jennifer Lien could actually act, but instead it's just Stilted. Acting. instead of decent psychotic rambling that ends with Janeway unceremoniously shooting her. It also means Janeway and Tuvok have had foreknowledge of Seven of Nine and Naomi Wildman, as the crux of the episode finale is having Past-Kes make a holo-recording for old Kes when time comes round again.

Her rampage in the present is stopped by a holographic recording of her past-self reminding Kes she left Voyager of her own free will, and she leaves the ship peacefully because oh yeah she made that recording and simply forgot about it instead of making any effort to keep from going crazy thanks to her foreknowledge of going crazy. She didn't just go home before now because they wouldn't accept her, but okay maybe they will take her back so she's going to Ocampa now after all. It also had that holographic recording play in Engineering, when it's been a big argument throughout the show's run that they never could get emitters working right outside of Sickbay. And underlines the creepy levels of Ocampan aging when she's at most 6 or 7 and looks about 60-70 years old.

It actually almost comes close to being an outright-good episode... except it relies heavily on Jennifer Lien being able to portray anything other than a calm semi-tranquilized tone of voice.

One of the running gags is Tuvok has never told anyone how old he is, or when his birthday is. There's a cold opener or two where the crew tries to guess it.

That's because most of them have known Tuvok for all of the time they've been in the Delta Quadrant. Janeway's known him for going on twenty years and they keep making a big deal about the two being very close friends. If anyone'd know, it'd be her.

That one was their 30th anniversary episode and could've been interesting if it was centered on Sulu's ship instead of Voyager for most of the runtime. George Takei's also completely wasted, as he's used as background scenery instead of anything relevant to the plot.

DS9 did Trials and Tribbleations.

*sits solemnly at head of table of senior officers*

Now I cannot condone the actions of those children, and I may in fact even consider them regrettable, but we cannot interfere in the natural development of this banana nosed monster.

With respect Sir, I think you are confusing cause and effect.

Explain councillor.

Well, this so called monster, has anyone ever tried to reach out to him? It is highly likely that his violent response is a psychological protection mechanism he has taken on board to shield himself from their constant verbal attacks.

The act of calling him a violent monster is causing him to act like a monster you mean?

Exactly Captain. He is already suffering from interference, making him something he's not.

*pensive silence, senior officers exchange glances while captain looks thoughtful*

If there is even a chance that what you say is true. That this... Banana nosed person is no monster, but is made to feel the need to be one, then we cannot stand idly by.

*Senior officers exchange determined glances*

And perhaps... This has reminded us there are real monsters lurking in all of us. Dismissed.

You'd figure Janeway would know how old he is and when his birthday is from his records if nothing else. Surely such basic information would be in them?
