What one thing do you love about Voyager today?

[RoJoHen]

The scientifically impossible reflection in the planet's rings ruins it. Silly, but once seen it cannot be unseen. Ever.

Those particular rings are fantasy rings, not science fiction rings.

I love the reflection in the rings! It's one of my favorite visuals. Maybe they're made of crystal or something. Who knows?

 

[dub]

It's people. Those rings are made out of people.

Unless I missed something, Samantha didn't actually die, though she did disappear. No, I would have to say that for me it was Briefings with Neelix. It combined the frothiness of Regis and Kathy Lee with the hard-hitting investigative topicality of O'Reilly vintage Inside Edition.

Samantha didn't die. She ended up in the Shuttle And Torpedo Building Team!

Because that department always had a lot of work to do, Naomi was left on her own most of the time. For reasons unknown, she was never considered to be a member of the Shuttle And Torpedo Building Team.

What was the behind-the-scenes reason for that, by the way? Was the actress unavailable? Memory Alpha doesn't mention it.

I don't know. I never seen any explanation about it either.
I guess that the writers simply forgot that there were a character named Samantha Wildman on the ship, just like they did seem to forget about characters like Rollins, Carey, Vorik, Gerron, Chell, Henley and Dalby.

More likely they just didn't want to pay for two actresses every time they wanted to use Naomi.

 

[F. King Daniel]

The ECH activation sequence.

 

[Catarina]

They were cheap skates that's also why there weren't more speaking crewman. From the mouth of Kate's body double.

I love the doc's activation sequence too.

 

[NOVE9]

I loved the episodes focused around the doctor, when Janeway showed how badass she is and when Seven gained insight into something that she had not considered before.

It's people. Those rings are made out of people.

Ah yes the Soylent 9 Planet.

 

[Captain Kathryn]

The ECH activation sequence.

It's the best. When those pips appear one by one on his collar.

Activate the photonic cannon!!!

 

[Catarina]

*pips line up one by one on collar*
"Nice Touch."- Janeway.
Janeway, my thoughts exactly. :grin:

 

[Catarina]

Speaking of tinker tenor episode, I get a kick out of the flirting senior officer scene now. When I was a kid I was repulsed like Paris was. So that's something that's changed over time.

 

[Grathon Tolar]

I love Satan's Robot. I love Seven shutting down Satan's Robot. I love Tuvok making a backhanded compliment to Tom when he's repairing Satan's Robot.

 

[Catarina]

I love Satan's Robot. I love Seven shutting down Satan's Robot.

"The robot has been neutralized. May I leave now?"- Seven

*Snicker*

 

[JirinPanthosa]

I loved that Paris was obsessed with cheesy 1940s pop-scifi to the point that he programmed the holodeck to make everyone appear black and white.

I loved that Paris was obsessed with cheesy 1940s pop-scifi to the point that he programmed the holodeck to make everyone appear black and white.

That's why I consider Paris a great character. His bizarre enthusiasm and monomania about stupid shit, coupled with his colleagues disdain for it--Tuvok making snide comments, Torres infuriated over him racing the Flyer, Chakotay chewing him out for being a slob--really rang true.

 

[Captain Kathryn]

I love in Tinker Tenor when the Doc's fantasy-Janeway forces the Doc to grab her tushie.

Voyager has the best humor in Star Trek. DS9 comes close with Quark and those guys but Voyager has a special brand of humor that I adore.

I think this goes down to the characters. DS9 had wonderful, complex, dramatic characters, but VOY's characters were just so damn likable.

 

[Catarina]

but VOY's characters were just so damn likable.

They were. I cared enough that I tuned in weekly even if the result was disappointment. I do however refuse to watch Darkling ever again. Personal preference :-)

 

[JirinPanthosa]

I've never thought about which series has the best humor. I've always seen Trek as being best at humor in non-comedy episodes. Bride of Chaotica is one of the only truly successful pure comedy episodes int he series. But it's hard to compare Voyager's smaller humorous moments with the funniest Quark or Garak moments.

The Borg Queen. All 3 of them.

There were only two.
