They make Janeway an admiral because she's way too dangerous to be anything but a bureaucrat, the end.

(Yeah, her fiancee moved on because everyone thought they were super dead.)

Good Voyagers: the one where they wake up a race of cryogenically frozen Those Fuckers and a coalition of the willing nukes them from orbit, the one where they try to get back a Federation probe loaded with the plans to all the good poo poo and Ensign Ricky never gets to finish his ship in a bottle because he's super dead.

Sorry but this is wrong. This is actually a terrible moralizing episode about why the Prime Directive is super duper important and the aliens are dumb as poo poo.

Sending the plans for reaction weapons to randos is a bad idea. The prime directive isn't all dumb all the time, it just really needs a bunch of EXCEPT WHENS at the bottom so you don't just watch from Ten Forward while a bunch of alien farmers get owned by an asteroid.

as i previously mentioned its spelled out repeatedly on the show that she knew at the start of the mission that she would strand both crews in the delta quadrant. voyager had a massively unstandard tricobalt device in her armoury designed to do that. why did she do that, and why was she promoted to admiral, ranking picard, when she returned?

because she came back with a computerised booty of culture no-one has ever seen before and even a computer program that makes new culture. she's the loving 24th century walter raleigh but instead of potato and tobacco she got a bunch of holoporn of a two year old ocampa loving a talaxian

Why would a long range science vessel like Voyager not have an astrometrics lab by default? They spend 100% of their time in space. Accurate star maps are important.

Well, yeah, basically Voyager started out with the base trim level. They weren't planning to show up in the Gamma Quadrant and have to go home from that far away, so they had the cassette deck of astrophysics labs, then put in one of those neat ones with GPS and satellite radio later.

It's cool that starfleet gave them that tricobalt thing, just in case they needed to blow up a moon on the way back from the neutral zone.

That would have been a great episode for any of the series to have under their belts, but they still Voyagered it up by having the holographic doctor get stranded on the planet for several decades, in which this holographic man marries and has children.

He got someone else to impregnate his wife, like in popular movie The Postman.

I think it was all intertwined, the actor was supposedly a piece of poo poo and constantly late etc., he was supposed to be killed off instead of Kes, but who knows if he was that way all along or if he just stopped giving a poo poo after playing Harry Kim for long enougn.

I remember hearing something about his character being scheduled for die until some magazine declared him a Sexy Wang.

Babylon 5 is still good. Honestly, the grafix aren't that bad. What really detracts from the space fight scenes is that they're all in SD when the rest of the show is widescreen. It's not noticeably worse than a Star Trek of comparable era and configuration.

I watched Babylon 5 all the way through with my brother. During one scene in a commissary, Sheridan was eating breakfast and talking with Ivanova. He had a clear mug filled with some strange green liquid that looked like ecto-cooler kool-aid.

My brother lost interest in what they were talking about because he was wondering what the liquid could possibly be, and was jolted out of his reverie by Sheridan announcing "I'm going to get some more of (glances down at his mug) whatever the Hell this is."

Do you not chase your flarn with a mug of ecto cooler?

This has been brought up before in this thread. Starfleet is made up of outliers of federation society. They can't take living in a civilized society. Only facing the horrors of the final frontier is can they live an meaningful life.

There was that episode with the guys who didn't want to do away missions being forced to go on an away mission. Science redshirt said he wanted to do research at Space College or whatever but they told him to do a stint with Starfleet to get some real world experience.

Starfleet is basically an unpaid internship.

Voyager being able to land is fine, but they've clearly got some unmentioned tech keeping it from toppling over.

Also, the nacelles wiggled because the old designs hosed up subspace. Later, they figured out how to not gently caress up subspace without the wiggle.

You know, I swear one of those maps of the Star Trek galaxy shows the true scope of Janeway's incompetence; if she'd gone towards the Gamma Quadrant instead of Alpha, they'd reach the far end of the Bajoran wormhole much much sooner than 70 years.

Also the landing thing I at least remember as being a half-assed emergency the first time because they hosed the ship up bad and needed to set down fix it or something. The flexible nacelles always seemed dumb as hell though, because that kind of thing has to be a bitch to repair.

"We can't go to warp Captain, the loving left nacelle won't go up! Again!"

The wormhole got turned off multiple times, and to get to it they had to go through Dominion space.

I remember some episode of Voyager where they have contact with somebody from the Alpha Quadrant and they mention the Dominion War in some fashion and the Voyager crew is all like "aroo?" but of course that's the end of it because god forbid you say something interesting or have the characters react emotionally to the fact that their brethren are locked in a life or death struggle and they can't help.

I mean, B'elenna did get pretty bummed out when they found out all their Maquis friends got murdered super hard.

My only two problems with that episode is that Jake's actor was not at all convincing as his 1950s persona, and Benny's meltdown at the end was a bit overboard, but all and all I think it was up there with the Visitor or In the Pale Moonlight for DS9 episodes.
