Half of my potential comments in this community end this way ..... I just stare into the void, wonder if my humor makes any sense and then fifty percent of the time just delete what I just wrote.

I would have been killed off on the second day Voyager got lost in the Delta quadrant.

You gotta lean into it. If Keiko and Kess could make it most of the way through the series, so can you!

This is my favorite episode. Janeway is so cool

Trek heresy, but in my personal top five list from all the shows, Voyager takes two slots and TNG gets none.

Not even measure of a man gets a slot?

[-] setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

This is my personal list. While I know that academically TNG had a lot of high concept scifi, and was doing it before it was popular in TV, I don’t connect with it as much.

I feel that a lot of TNG episodes are worthy of being called great but I just don’t connect with them.

For what it’s worth, my top all time Trek episode is Voyager’s Living Witness.

Voyager’s Living Witness

Not a bad choice at all

Jus out of curiosity, why is it that you connect with this one but not the TNG ones?

[-] setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

The characters mostly. A combination of the writing and acting. I don’t dislike them (mostly) but I don’t feel in my feelings as compelled by Data’s journey for humanity as I do by the Doctor’s, for example.

Also the interior of the Enterprise-D is kind of hideous to me. Not that it’s a huge factor, but I like the softer lighting of Voyager or the NX. Even DS9’s intentional ugliness wraps around and I find it comfy. The Enterprise-D just looks like a garish 80s hotel.

Same. Great episode. I love the interplay between these two

The day I realized she was the same actor as Red from OITNB was a trip

Also Flemeth in Dragon Age.

Janeway is my favorite captain for sure. The others are all remarkable, because of course they are, but whenever I watch Voyager, I am reminded of how much more I like her over the others.

She had (and used) this great guile to serve her and her crew's needs. She didn't readily break her principles, but would intelligently question them when they didn't appear to align with the greater good or her responsibilities.

She was both flexible and reliable. I feel that some viewers saw that as unpredictability, but I don't think so. She actively did more to help her crew in every way than any other captain we've seen.
