I kinda wish we had the Benny Russel ending of DS9, that way we could attribute the shows we don’t like to a fictional writers strike. Or Benny loving off on vacation.

And then a whole storyline where Benny is a fat old pervert who everyone is just kind of tolerating so they can make a show, but he keeps loving around with it but nobody can tell if his ideas are good or terrible

Burnham would win because the Plot Demands It and she'd also take one look at Janeway and her homicidal tendencies and see in her a new mother figure who she would try to ally with before stabbing in the back sometime later.

For all the horrors I heard about Voyager, it wasn't nearly that bad. It was more frustrating because there was so much missed potential. Outside of season 2. Season 2 was garbage and only slightly better than TNG season 1

Paper Lion posted:yeah this broad is fuckin nuts and just does genocides for no reason and routinely renegs on her word to aliens because her ship is falling apart and she wants to go home even though she also turns down chances to go home constantly and the ship is always fine and well stocked. definitely the best star trek I don't know if I'm real or not, but Janeway is the best captain, Sisko and Picard couldn't have handled her job. Maybe Kirk, he seems like a wild card too. If I had to be a crew member, I'd also choose Voyager as my post, more diversity and sitting way back in the class away from federation teacher gives you some nice freedom. Also seems like one of the safer choices, post-caretaker incident at least, only like 15 crew die through all the seasons. Heck, they probably add as many people along the way at different points. Less crew dying to Borg, more crew being Borg.

Yeah but if you put in your dues, at the end, you get back home and they basically make everyone a captain.

CPColin posted:I'm eagerly waiting for Voyager to get bad and the Greatest Gen guys to turn on it. They've been pretty positive about it so far, but maybe they're gun-shy after giving a DS9 episode a "meh" and getting a bunch of hate mail or something. This show is their living / professional bread-and-butter now, they'll never turn on it. It's kind of funny to hear them like absolutely love something like Threshold. Which is just a loving boring episode with a completely magical 'ok we fixed everything' reset button ending-- even if you take out all of the in-universe science / sci-fi established concepts breaking that makes it legendarily bad. Of course there is that 11:59 episode on the horizon which is like... legendarily unmemorably bad. At least Threshold was memorable.

11:59 is like a weird Hallmark movie about the destructiveness of gentrification, only to take a literal last minute swerve and end on the message of "Actually, gentrification is pretty cool."

FlamingLiberal posted:Or, it’s fine in the name of progress thats inherently baked into the "gentrification is cool" because gentrification is ripping out established character of neighbourhoods and transplanting white people poo poo into them, and we live in a society that inherently tells us white people poo poo is good and cutting edge by default because white people are the best, so shoving expensive white people poo poo into a perfectly fine neighbourhood is progress and everyone complaining should shut up and enjoy their useless vinyl stores and hot yoga studios instead of rent controlled housing and 24 hour greasy spoon diners.

Nessus posted:Freedom to do what, though? Less rules baby! I'm doing art installations in the hallways in my dorm, I'm carving my name on the replicators, disrupting crewmates with chatter and jokes, or maybe I'll steal a runabout and set up shop on one of the nicer worlds breaking the prime directive and messing with a planet's development, just gotta trick tuvok and janeway into thinking I got blown up or fell into a transwarp nebula. Or maybe I just wanna have an affair with the Doctor, everyone on DS9 or Enterprise would be weird jerks about it, whereas on Voyager everyone's like "duh, yeah, we've all banged the Doctor, we discovered ESH mode the day after the array exploded."

I think they meant "aspiration to a better future in the stars" instead of gentrification, but yeah. It is actually a Star Trek episode theme-wise, it fits pretty well with the Earth parts of say, First Contact and does have a moral dilemma and all that, but it's very different about that. So it's weird, not bad.

I accidentally watched 11:59 last night and I'm not sure you can draw any sort of gentrification thing out of it. It was literally one old stubborn guy holding out while everyone else was like hey rear end in a top hat our rust belt poo poo hole isn't dying, it's already dead

Voyager would have been better if they had replaced all the cast with the actual Voyager 1 space craft and had it explore the delta quadrant. At least a lot more aliens would be alive.

Voyager really is where the wheels started coming off creatively (yeah you can see the cracks forming in TNG season 6-7) because it's an entire Star Trek series designed to prop up a cable TV network Staw Trek: Voyajuh.

It's kind of weird how little they established about the place while they were there. AFAIK nobody ever added a couple of empires to the galactic map or anything, outside of Pakleds in LD, seems like the quadrant is still pretty much a mystery to federation. It was also how weird nobody really cared about seeing a new species from a far part of the galaxy. There was one planet of aliens who were going to force Tom Paris to get a spaceship driving licence, like, dealing with First Contact and all that was nothing, just a space cop like "hey, you can't fly around here without a license!" Maybe that is just how it would go in such a massively populated universe like Trek. After you meet a few aliens you stop being excited about some new people who are basically you with some different poo poo on or off their face. If you're lucky the aliens will have some crazy beliefs like up is left and release from prison comes before sentencing and trial.
