/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ **8. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

MODERATORS
I actually think the episode itself is quite good. The framing of the episode, the part where the dinos left earth and ended up in the delta quadrant, is just awful and follows a long terrible tradition of Trek not even having a cursory understanding of evolution. But the storytelling is good. Learning about both the Voth and Voyager from the perspective of Voth scientists is good. Having them be much more advanced than Voyager and then actually showing that is a nice change of pace. The moralizing part is good too: respecting the journey for scientific truth even is important, though the message is a little muddled because the science of the episode is so hilariously wrong. A Chakotay heavy plot without any sky spirits is nice. The Voth were relatively good looking aliens for the time.
I think if it were rewritten just a little bit it’d be a top 10 Voyager episode.
Two, whenever A'Coochie'Moya's not on screen in a Chakotay episode, all the other characters should be asking "Where's A'Coochie'Moya?"
