I never noticed that before

I've seen similar threads in other biwrds, and now with Voyager on tv again I thought this might be fun. In a recent rewatch what is something you never noticed before?

For me one is in Once Upon A Time, when Sam Wildman is recording her goodbye to Naomi. She says "I love you" and then Tom has this look on his face, as if he suddenly realized he forgot to say that in his message to B'Elanna.
 
Not to mention that my season 4-7 favorite character is prominent in this episode.

It seemed to me like whenever there was a chance for him to say those 3 words to her, the writers didn't write it that way. When she said "I love you" in Day of Honor, he said kind of sadly "You picked a great time to tell me" since they were both seconds away from suffocating. In Drive he said something like "The only person I want to be is the guy you're in love with", not the "Guy that loves you". And in the episode you mentioned, he didn't say it either.

It's not that I think he didn't love her, but it was frustrating the way the scripts were written that he wouldn't say it. Frustrating in the same way that whenever there was a chance for him to communicate with his father, nothing happened. His letter was lost in Hunters, he gave up his comm. time to Harry in Author, Author.

Sometimes I think the writers and/or producers know the viewers want something, so they go out of their way not to do it.

Yeah we nevet saw him actually say "i love you". But on the other hand, B'Elanna only said it on screen that one time.

There's a popular fan theory that. B'Elanna lied about the letter not coming through because it said something she thought would hurt him.

I've heard that theory since the show was in it's first run. I read a fanfic a while back where since the letter was coming in bits and pieces she thought it said his mother died (and when they got home it was actually his great-grandmother). But part of the text was lost and B'Elanna herself was in such a bad place at the time herself because of the news about the Maquis. She didn't want to hurt him with the news.

God, I love Netflix for this.

Anyway, I have to disagree. His expression was more of ...sympathy for Sam and Naomi than "Oh, CRAP! I didn't tell B'Elanna I loved her"...
 
Not a re-watch, but a re-read of trasncripts: one of the personalities that Seven of Nine manifests in "Infinite Regress" is a little Human girl, Maryl, who has 12, count 'em, twelve brothers. :):):):):):):):):):):):) That's a bit more proliferation than I think any Human family in Star Trek has been said to have.
 
Well that's an interesting question. Would people have more kids? If you don't have to worry about financially supporting a family would people have more children? We see Starfleet people who don't have a lot of kids but what about civilians?
 
9 of her brothers are older, 3 are younger. I'm wondering if she might be part of a blended family - both mom and dad marry again, bringing sons into the relationship and possibly Maryl herself, or having her and her younger brothers together after marrying.
 
In "Coda", Daddy Janeway is wearing the current communicator pin, when he died over a decade before. He should have been in the oval-backed one from Next Gen.

Why? It wasn’t actually him. I’d give it a pass. The entity was depending on Janeway’s memories
 
The bat'leth given to B'Elanna at the end of Prophecy and hung on the wall in her quarters had a point in the middle. When we see it again on the wall in the second part of Workforce, it is a different bat'leth that does not have a point in the middle.

In the last few episodes he is in, Ethan Phillips is not wearing the yellow eyes contacts and we see Phillips' natural brown eyes. It is especial noticeable in Homestead.
 
The eye thing has been addressed many times. Phillips started getting a reaction from these contacts.
