Gold star episodes

[marlboro]

First off: Brad Dourif is an amazing actor. He makes everything he's in better.


A few moments that spring to mind:

"Hello. I'm Captain Kathryn Janeway. Welcome to the bridge." BOOM!

Janeway and Seven's clash in "Prey." "You will fail."

Janeway and Chakotay's argument in "Scorpion part 1"

Neelix smoothing things over with the Tak Tak ambassador in "Macrocosm." "Please, make her be quiet."

Tuvok dancing in "Homestead"

"You are hurting me" Seven in "Drone"

Seven and the EMH singing "You are My Sunshine" in "Someone to Watch Over Me"

Voyager finally making contact with Earth in "Pathfinder"

Tom Paris slowly going crazy in "Alice" is one of my personal favorites. Also enjoy "Barge of the Dead" as well as the one were Tuvok is stranded on a planet, and an alien falls in love with him, which I cannot remember the name of the episode. Also like most episodes involving the Hirogen.

Alter Ego?

Eye of the Needle .. the way they befriended a Romulan. The ending that he wanted to help them but didn't live long enough.

Or maybe "Gravity"?

Oh yes I remember that one. She was like the girl in Star Wars, Rey .. I reckon Star Wars owe Voyager some royalties

The penultimate scene in season 2's "Resistance".

Addled Caylem sacrifices himself to attack the planet's Overlord in order to protect Kathryn whom he's mistaken for his daughter.

All episode long the Captain tries to reorient him to the fact she is NOT his daughter until that moment when he is dying.

She pretends to be his Ralkana, tells him she and her mother are safe and received all of his letters over the years before he dies, reassured, in her hands.

That's not the one but that is a good one.
It reminds me of another episode, "Gravity," which I think is a very strong Tuvok and Vulcan episode.
Also, "Tinker, Tenor, Doctor, Spy."

 

[Trekkin]

I'm nominating Lifesigns

The Doctor gets a nice change of pace (yet manages to stay in-character), it gave some dimension to a previously pretty static 'gross' species, a one-off female character that's actually interesting in her own right, its conflict is both understated and resolved well, and it hits you right in the feels.

Admittedly, it was my first ever full episode of Trek. Before that, I'd only seen parts of the movies. I'm pretty darn biased.

Inadmissible...

I kept meaning to list this episode, but as I tried to remember the name, I would think of other episodes. But, this one is probably my favorite episode of VOY, due to the dynamic of Tuvok and Neelix throughout as well as the mystery. It's called "Riddles" and features such an unique look at what makes a Vulcan a Vulcan as well as the capacity for change between the two characters. I also love how the crew goes about to solve the mystery, and the willingness the investigator has to lose his life's work for the sake of Tuvok's identity.
