Voyager, sorry.... what ? moments.

[Six of Twelve]

I really dont buy the whole Neelix had no reason to be around anymore if they were going home sentiment. The guy had utterly embraced human culture on everything from food to music to slang and mannerisms. He would of loved it in the Federation and easily found a non Talaxian romantic partner to settle with. But if they wanted him to stay in the DQ (even though its so far from Talax to be as alien as the AQ lol) and show how much he had grown it was a pretty good send off.

Or he could have brought Dexa and Brax with him aboard Voyager, as it's quite clear that he left Voyager to be with them. Perhaps they could have found a suitable planet in the AQ to settle on and sent for the rest of the Talaxians, even though it would have taken them some time to get there.

- Seven's comment after to have got the B'Elena's bouquet : "I fail to see the benefit of monogamous relationships." then ""If you mean remain open to social situations with a wide variety of individuals, then yes (I want to stay single)" then "I do not wish to be dependent on anyone. By marrying one limits, one's romantic interactions to a single individual, a circumstance which implies extreme monotony." -> Be careful, Chakotay!

Yes, monogamy, a dyad, would have been seen as an insufficiently sized personal collective to Seven. Indeed, when she was first aboard Voyager, she saw its crew as having insufficient numbers to be a satisfactory new collective for her. She is Seven of Nine, which I'm guessing refers to the size of her work group; the drones she associated more closely with, and the closest the Borg came to personal relationships. So, naturally, she would see monogamy as lacking. I cover this issue in one of my fan fiction stories, where she decides to remain single at the end of Voyager's journey.

Didn't all of them, Dexa included, want to stay on their asteroid colony. Did they try to settle on a planet and it didn't work out?

 

[Prax]

Once Starfleet figures out the whole transwarp thing, they could go back to Neelix' asteroid colony, and offer them their very own planet somewhere in the Federation.

Well, if they are still there....and alive...

Who knows if the people who were attacking them might not figure out how to get past their defenses.

I think they only preferred staying there because they'd been so far unable to find an inhabited planet willing to accept them or a suitable uninhabited one in the DQ. I'm guessing they might have better luck in the AQ. They might have even been able to settle on Earth, as their numbers were few enough for Earth to be able to absorb them into the population.

 

[Tracy Trek]

I know they had put a lot of effort into building an artificial environment. But they would still be in danger of being attacked. Unless they could make some kind of deal to stay there. I think I might have read that in a fanfiction once. That Neelix negotiated a deal with their adversaries that the Talaxians would mine the minerals from the asteroid in exchange for staying there.

How would the Talaxian colony get to the AQ? Voyager was still looking at a 20-30 year journey and they certainly didn't have room to house all of those Talaxians.

Well, I did say it would be a long journey...

Voyager doesn't have the recources to house and feed that many people

 

[Tracy Trek]

They would have to get their own ships back in space. Except I think they had been broken down to build the colony. That would have been a delay that Janeway might not have been willing to make.

I didn't say they would go on Voyager, now, did I? They'd take the time to put their own ships back together once they'd made the decision to go and start out. Some of the older members might not make it to Earth, but the younger ones surely would.

 

[Sophie74656]

Assuming they could rebuild their ships and if they even wanted to go.

They had established a home where they were comfortable. Do they want to leave it to face unknown dangers to go to an unknown planet on a journey that would take a large part of a lifetime.

It was sort of meant as a joke. Yes, by "conventional" means, it would take a long time to get there.

 

[Finn]

^They kept one of their ships intact IIRC

I think they did, but would they all fit in the one if they chose to leave the other ships behind? Would the people shooting at them have given them time to put the other ships back together? It seemed like they wanted them out of there very quick. If they had accompanied Voyager it would have complicated things in Endgame.

 

[Tesophius]

Otherwise known as WTF ? moments.
Basically any time Voyager made you sit up and puzzle over a particular comment or scene.
One that really stands out for me is in Blink of an eye, with the Doctor calmly proclaiming he has a son.... sorry, what ? A son ? Really ? How ?

It was then never mentioned again.

He created a wife, a daughter and a son in a holistic simulation early on in the show.

 

[Tesophius]

At the end of Emanations Janeway says that we still don't know what happens to humans after they die. WTF? I don't think she would've gotten through the academy with these unscientific views.

 

[Ghislaine H. B. BRAEME]

For me, the fact that the EMH can be Emergency Command Hologram. Surely entertainning but improbable and worst, dangerous for the crew, especially "his" legendary megalomany, which could put Starfleet in bad situations!

 

[Tesophius]

The Doctor is also undeniable proof that humanity has successfully created a fully functioning artificial intelligence life form, that is on par with humanity, with the emotional capabilities, something that, for some reason, DATA wasn't able to emulate without the special chip for decades. Why wouldn't they have such A.I. "people" performing a variety of tasks/calculations in engineering, tactical, etc. ?

So the machines don't take over!
