Trip's also canonically from Panama City according to Memory Alpha, the poor family. Born in the redneck riviera.

Sadly, the Tucker siblings remained a duo for all of Patripia's life. Despite their father's best efforts to score, he never could make that hat trick.

The first time watching Voyager a few years ago, I skipped a lot of standalone episodes because there were so many bad Kazon episodes. I'm really enjoying Season 4 and Season 5, and it's about TNG-quality to me. Neelix got a lot better after he not only ditched Kes, but he also stopped doing annoying and self-aggrandizing things like having his own 30 minute morning announcement TV show watched Edit: The best Neelix line was when he notices that Janeway's been up drinking a lot of coffee and advises that it'd have more of an effect as a hypospray galenanorth fucked around with this message at 15:49 on Mar 29, 2019 |

As of Warhead, even Ensign Kim has a personality after five seasons 3-4-5 (honestly up to Equinox, the season 6 opener) are basically the part of Voyager that's somewhat consistently acceptable with most of the good episodes, at least it's less like digging in poo poo for the one good episode The dumb thing is that there has to have been some awareness that people hated early Neelix because the one with the holosimulation of Tuvok murdering Neelix for the crime of being Neelix is like in season 1 or 2

Neelix being the sort of person to have their own terrible youtube channel was oddly prescient of Voyager, though.

I'm sure Voyager seems better just because of how bad Enterprise and Discovery have been since. Sort of like how each Republican president's legacy is made better by the horribleness of the next-- OH YEAH I WENT THERE WITH A POLITICAL HOT TAKE, STAR TREK THREAD!!!

I’m watching “Course: Oblivion” right now. First of all, top notch episode name there, guys. Secondly, this episode might actually be affecting if the actors were allowed to actually act. The scene with Tom at B’Elanna’s bedside while she dies should have left me a gibbering mess, but it’s just so flat. So terribly, terribly flat.

Once the newness wears off people will look at the show with a more critical eye, just like the reboot movies jeeves posted:I'm sure Voyager seems better just because of how bad Enterprise and Discovery have been since. Discovery is like Hillary Clinton or Justin Trudeau, they spend a lot of money paying lip service to the kinds of things people like to get support and then boom war crimes

Star Trek characters should always be saying poo poo like "Set a course for adventure!" And "Phasers on fun". Instead of saying "shields at %30 and falling!" characters should say " There's a three in five chance of a hull breach if they hit us again!" And then Janeway says "Never quote me the odds! Lock on and fire all weapons!" Also they should drop the shields some time and beam an incoming torpedo from the enemy ship directly back towards it. Instead of cloaking they should say "Take us to night mode" O'Brien should surrender to the Jem Hadar but the camera pans around to show he has duct taped a hand phaser to his back. Deepfakes technology should be used to make Rowdy Roddy Piper a captain. The founders should be detected by every Starfleet command officer having a secret high five they only do in private. Data should have several backup heads like Kryten. TNG S1 had it right when it came to frequency of someone being roundhouse kicked through a glass table and it's a drat shame it tapered off

Had Equinox been done in DIS, Ransom would be one of the protagonists and the showrunners would have him turn out to be in the right.

And I still count that as better than the mad libs cookie cutter crap VOY and early ENT turned into.

Voyager and Enterprise are more boring but Disco is more disappointing. This isn’t some third order spin off like Voy and Ent where everyone involved has already made over 9000 episodes for half of each year since 1990 and can’t think of anything new. It’s a new shiny production that should really be free to cut loose and do whatever, and you can tell they’re really trying to do that, but it’s hamstrung by inept plotting that is constantly kicking itself in the dick, on top of the actual execution and writing being really terrible. It certainly aims higher but it falls flatter.
