The irony is I bet the writers were perfectly happy to be given directives by the producers. "Oh, hey, thanks for the guaranteed-approved story concept, this oughta be quick and easy to bang out!" The late-series Voyager writing staff was notorious for wanting to just get out the door on time.

It still cracks me up that someone on staff remembered that Joe Carey was a character, so right before the end of S7 they bring him back just to kill him off

Admiral Paris So...like 7 of them were actually on Voyager and not adversaries or back in the Alpha Quadrant? *I'm not even sure if they're the same poo poo aliens both times, or a different set the second time from the same species.

How will this crew who've been gone for 7 years and have never acted any differently than any other starship crew cope with reintegrating into regular federation society? *blink* They do and everything is fine, yay!

Jimbone Tallshanks posted:They could probably just simulate them. But I prefer the pre-recorded idea just because it means they had to go through every possible scenario, like the SNL skit about pre-recording presidential death announcements. I’m thinking more like Operation Righteous Cowboy Lightning https://youtu.be/rUxzaQrOAOA?si=4rF73kxq-nP-nxSj

The borg kids are hilariously bad writing-wise, as they get introduced in season 6, are barely used, and then are unceremoniously dumped at the start of season 7 in a clear admission of having no idea what to do with them. Save for retaining Borg Wesley.

But Joe? He's just left dead on the floor, no attempt at triage, because he's not important enough.

Voyager's premise really set itself up to have few to no good recurring character. I always wanted to see Voyager develop this little "min-federation" in the DQ with a dozen or more ships who all travel together. That way you could have recurring characters, and a few new recurring sets. Also a great way to explore ideas about the Federation.

But instead, there’s Neelix’s ship—which appears, what, 6 times?—and the Delta Flyer, which they built (then rebuilt) themselves and is functionally equivalent to a runabout. I’m also bummed they didn’t use the rear cabin of the runabouts on DS9, speaking of non-recurring characters.

Given how the other show at the same time was "exploring ideas of the federation" i'm glad they didn't even try to do that with Voyager. DS9 is already far too close to the "but aktually what if good thing is bad!"

I've always wondered about the weird rear end upturned Vulcan eyebrows thing, that are just slightly different than human eyebrows. Do the actors have to shave their real eyebrows to play vulcans? And probably Romulans too I don't remember.

Unless you looked like Brezhnev it was probably just a simple makeup trick with net overlay.

If Shran runs into a black human does he just let it fly or does he hold back and feel all awkward and noticeably avoid calling the non-pink human by skin color?
