I too have made the mistake of recently watching Voyager. It seemed like bog standard Trek. I saw the Tuvix episode today and it pretty much soured the entirety of my day. I'm told it gets "better" in the third season. God help me

Doc Zimmerman also gets an episode in Voyager, where the holodoc gets zapped over from Voyager to help diagnose and treat his creator.

I like that Quark has no idea about human culture other than root beer and baseball. It felt like a cute way of reversing the usual one-dimensional alien cultures we see - Quark only knows a few humans, and assumes they're completely representative of human culture and society.

I skipped a bunch of pages because I assumed that "discussion" on the Prime Directive went on forever. Did I miss anything good?

Watched meridian last night. It honestly wasn't as bad as I remembered. One huge glaring plot hole though. The one guy initially offers to go with Jadzia and leave his world but eventually decides he just can't do it. Much like poochy, his people need him. Why don't they just all loving leave? They crash landed on there. They don't seem overly attached to the land like crazy federation people. They are scared that they are eventually going to be trapped in the other dimension as energy and cease existing altogether. If leaving is an option, one they just never had cause there was never a starship around, they should all just leave!! Their homeworld might even still exist if it wasn't destroyed by the Dominion. Also lovely epilogue for them thanks to the ending of DS9. Starfleet has the technology to fix their star and will do it, but it will take a few years. Sucks to be them, that wormhole gets loving closed in a couple. Starfleet ain't coming back. Sisko, Bashir, and Jadzia really had a stellar performance though John Wick of Dogs fucked around with this message at 14:16 on Oct 8, 2018 |

Let? Let? My god, they should have placed Wesley in the middle of a meadow with a chair five meters away, and posted armed guards all around. Let nature take its course.

Of course they CAN tell that story, they just don't because that would be loving boring and this is an entertainment product, not a totally sweet grad school essay that turns pop culture on its head by viewing it through the lens of dialectical materialism, maaaaan. i like season 1 but i also would have liked wesley to be executed, such is life

I mean in one way it's nice that even total assholes like him are redeemable in the future of Star Trek On one hand I almost can't fault the writers for thinking they were being super clever and topical by doing that but on the other hand one would hope the people behind Star Trek of all things would be a little less clueless Like it's important that we have reusable boosters now but it's because a rich guy paid a bunch of people to finally make them instead of continuing to grift world governments out of billions of dollars for more expendable rockets like the weapons manufacturers that built the shuttle and now the SLS would have I mean does that make Elon a visonary? because that smells like bullshit to me

It’s because Elon Musk took some producer out to dinner, let’s be real.
