Action Jacktion posted:People seem to have a real personal hate for Janeway because she didn't get the ship home (there might be some some sexism in there too though I can't be sure) but they ignore that it was just a TV show and the writers didn't want that to happen. I think that a lot of the hate was passed on to Janeway because that they almost literally reset the episodes and didn't even explore some of the concepts of being one ship on the other end of the galaxy. With the exception of replicator rationing, they never seemed to be facing shortages (save an episode or two) and they always upheld the Federation morals. It could have been a lot more interesting if the ship got progressively more and more damaged, but enhanced with different technology they picked up along the way. Maybe a whole month (4 episodes) of them being on the verge of losing their warp capabilities. They never addressed crew shortages, or lack of new torpedoes, or the fact that they tore through 50 shuttlecraft a season. Was there even more than 2 episodes that addressed that 1/2 the crew was Marquis? The biggest problem was that they had to keep away from plot-arcs, (with a few 2-4 part episode exceptions) so the start of every episode was "fresh crew, new adventure". Also how were they in Kazon space for over a season? Should have been 3 episodes make if they actually used their warp drives. p.s. Neelix hosed a 3 year old!

VectorSigma posted:it got canceled just as it was getting decent and then it was all just a fat riker dream Pretty much this. They were re-treading a shitload of left-over Voyager garbage with the holograms, the Borg, and other stuff right from the get-go. Also by the end of season II they went from "fledgling Earth ship" to "toughest mutherfuckers in space" because they just happened to get phasers and photon torpedoes and better shields in the span of a year. Enterprise was about 50-50 decent/garbage until the last season. The temporal cold war was loving stupid, and if they wanted a year-long arc, they should have just started something with the Romulans.

Iron Crowned posted:They eventually got the mobile transmitter for the Dr. but I suspect it was because they realized he was the only character anyone liked, and needed him to be able to go elsewhere. The Doctor and Seven were the only Characters the writers even bothered putting effort into after season 4. The rest of the cast (other than Janeway) felt like they were essentially guest stars or extras as they almost had to remind the writers that they existed. Robert Beltran got to the point where he would deliver one line an episode, and then sleep in his trailer for the rest of the week.

Professor Shark posted:Man a BSG-style remake of Voyager would be awesome. Imagine worrying about how hosed you are on the other side of the galaxy and then you realize you realize the only way home it through Borg space This was sort of what was supposed to happen until they were told, "no story arcs". So no matter what episode you picked up at, you didn't need to know anything other than the general premise of the show.

They took actual US citizens and placed them into prison camps (infants up to senior citizens, regardless if they were 1st, 2nd, or 5th generation Americans). Naturally they seized all of their possessions and didn't compensate them either.

etalian posted:I liked the goon story of the time he ran into Garret Wang in a strip club and Garrett also begged him for a weed money loan The best is still the goon who spergs out when he meets Robert Picardo at a convention and says something along the lines of, " you were the only good actor on Voyager" and pisses him off. The goon still asked for a picture of Picardo and he naturally looks really annoyed/pissed in it. Edit: does anyone still have the pic?

FrensaGeran posted:Everyone always forgets the underrated sequel, when I went back the next year and he spotted me Robert Picardo remembered you from a one-time meeting a year prior to this picture being taken, and instinctively made that face? WHAT THE gently caress did you say to him to leave that kind of an impression? I'm guess at these conventions he has to interact with hundreds of weird, smelly, awkward nerds a day, how did he remember you specifically? -He has a photographic memory? -You're the gooniest looking person at the convention? -You have a distinctive odour? -You were the most insulting/autistic person he dealt with that day? Please tell me you were wearing a very distinctive t-shirt both times.

Cthulu Carl posted:I like how there were like several episodes where Hoshi's primary concern is the wellbeing of one of Phlox's slugs. Empress Hoshi in the Mirror Universe arc was a legit good/hilarious ending. Did not see that coming. In my second year of University I had a class where we had a group project and my group had 3 international students from Korea. At the time Linda Park and Grace Park were the two biggest Koreans on North American TV, and the two Korean girls and one Korean guy in my group would always mention how pissed they were that the two ugliest Koreans alive were stars in the US. Thank god they never watched Grey's Anatomy.

I challenge anyone to find a Cardi in DS9 that was not in one way or another awesome. (actual characters, not extras with 1 line). Dukat, Garek, Damar, Tain, The one that tried to bang O'Brien, etc... Generally speaking, I think that the Cardassians were the best characters in TNG/Voyager as well.

Crowsbeak posted:Seska was the smartest member of Voyagers crew. Pretty much the only instance of clever writing, and not "technobabble" was when her Kazon ships were harrassing Voyager, and kept attacking this one subsystem of the ship. Janeway and the crew are stumped why she is doing that, as it's not slowing them down, or damaging their weapons. Then when they get captured it turns out that one of the things that subsystem did was control the auto destruct. In the end the day was saved when the two most interesting characters on the show (the Psycho-Killer and the doctor) retake the ship.

Hector Beerlioz posted:Remind me to post pics of that one guy's apartment for sale who turned it into a voyager quarters replica. It was for sale cause he was going to jail for...yup, you guessed it. From an old Macleans article... quote:The first thing detectives from the Toronto police sex crimes unit saw when they entered Roderick Cowan's apartment was an autographed picture of William Shatner. Along with the photos on the computer of Scott Faichnie, also busted for possessing child porn, they found a snapshot of the pediatric nurse and Boy Scout leader wearing a dress "Federation" uniform. Another suspect had a TV remote control shaped like a phaser. Yet another had a Star Trek credit card in his wallet. One was using "Picard" as his screen name. In the 3 1/2 years since police in Canada's biggest city established a special unit to tackle child pornography, investigators have been through so many dwellings packed with sci-fi books, DVDs, toys and collectibles like Klingon swords and sashes that it's become a dark squadroom joke. "We always say there are two types of pedophiles: Star Trek and Star Wars," says Det. Ian Lamond, the unit's second-in-command. "But it's mostly Star Trek."
