Favorite 'Little' Moments Of VOYAGER...

[chris of nine]

The all-time moment for me is in "Timeless" where Garrett Wang acts his socks off, rather unexpectedly but brilliantly, in two admittedly key scenes. The first being when he's despondent and the EMH has to snap him out of it, and the other - which is one single word, that of "YES!!!!!!!", is so incredibly well done. It's "little" in terms of 24th century human beings often being so stoic, and here's an episode - from season 5, no less - that dares show a little humanity. It would have been easy to stick to the usual 24th century shtick, but they didn't. It's technically little and yet it's very big. Especially in a show where they don't show such emotion in so many episodes where it'd be perfectly human to do so. As with Ronald D Moore's idea of VOY being more and more dystopia, and episodes like "Worst Case Scenario", it's these one off scenes that show the potential of what VOY could have been.

And yet VOY still tries to take the TOS approach in terms of no arcs, just recurring villains, music that sometimes mimics TOS' style (e.g. "Scorpion"), and just tries to be a "90s revamp of TOS's style" whereas TNG became its own style (after a year of mimicking TOS at times) as much as DS9 had.

“YES!!!!!”


Should have been the title of the episode.

I had two waves of goosebumps there. That only happens when something is very, very good.

Despite the time travel anti science of a signal from the future traveling into the past.

Voyager, led by Chakotay and Harry in the Flyer, and trying to use slipstream technology to get to the AQ, receives an errant command from Harry. Voyager falls out of slipstream and crashes into an ice planet, and they all die.

15 years later, Harry and Chakotay find the planet and corpses. They take Borg tech from Seven’s body, and the EMH mobile emitter, and get back to the Flyer, and using a stolen Borg temporal device hooked up to Seven’s tech, attempt to send the correct command at the right time, but that fails. The EMH convinces Harry to try a different approach.

Time Cop Geordi LaForge on Challenger has to stop them. He fires. The Flyers’ warp core nears breach.

Harry’s task is to send command changes to Seven in the past via her cranial implant which would collapse the slipstream and keep Voyager from entering. At the last second before the core breach, he does, and screams “YES!!!!!!!” as the Flyer explodes, and it’s freakin GLORIOUS. He’s climaxing. Goosebump City.

It’s my favorite Harry scene.

In the past, Seven gets the new command, and it works just like it’s supposed to, and the ship is saved.

Fantasy Science. Sometimes, it works.

Timeless is absolutely one of my favorites. It's interesting to see squeaky clean Harry as an embittered rebel.

Janeway as Arachnia.

Bride of Chaotica. Well, as a rule, I don’t like old sci-fi like this, and I thought about taking a pass, but went with it anyway. Felt like a nothingburger, then it’s Janeway to the rescue, and Mulgrew absolutely sells it. Janeway is rarely comedic, and then, here’s this shiny diamond. Yeah, I’m happy. Queen of the spider people.

Next ep.....people eat spiders.

It's a relatively short line-but Seven saying "The Borg have prevailed" its just breathtaking and majestic yet also very Borg, I can just sense the sheer pride and satisfaction in the statement. The way Ryan under emotes it but also makes clear the emotion she feels.

Author,Author.

When Paris replaces the Doc’s holonovel, Tom has created a scene where Doctor CombOver is treating dolled up Seven, while our EMH watches the scene play.

Doc CombOver -“One of Three?”

Seven -“Two of Three.”

Doc CombOver (to Our EMH, creepily) “Triplets.”

Then Doc CombOver gives her a Klingon aphrodisiac and starts massaging her, on his way to seducing her.

Now, that’s Chemistry.

Here in Australia, Voyager is one of three star trek shows on constant re-run/rotation on network TV, the others being TOS and TNG, and I often asked myself why this is... why don't they ever screen Deep Space Nine?

That`s interesting. here in Germany they constantly show Trek on TV for many years. But they only show TNG; TOS and Voyager in all seasons. From time to time they began with DS9 , but they always stop DS9 after the first seasons. They started with Enterprise, but only ones.

Where do you live?. Tele 5 is constantly showing Voyager and TNG. TOS only on rare occassion.

And DS9 is currently running and will be shown til the last episode. I don't know if @StefanM can confirm this.....

It was on DS9's original run when it was pushed into time slots occupied by local home country shows. So I couldn't see some seasons. SAT 1 was the broadcaster. Tele 5 is responsible for re-runs. TOS is underused.

 

[StefanM]

Yes, I'm sure, Kilana is right about DS9. Tele 5 shows the full series.
But yes, ENT isn't often on German TV.

ENT has been shown lately, but as I've lost interest quickly I'm not sure if they showed all the episodes. TOS is sidelined for holiday specials, though.

Actually that whole C-plot was pretty entertaining.

Oh, sorry. You are right. DS9 is currently running. I didn`t recognise it yet. I remember that it was some years ago, that TELE5 was showing DS9 and they stopped it after some seasons. It was the time when I wanted to give DS9 another chance. because I couldn`t get in it. Sorry.

You are right. Several years ago they stopped DS9 after several seasons and didn't finish it. But TOS remains the show that isn't shown with all the episodes. And it is the same with TOS novels in German. They don't sell well.

The Doctor giving a reluctant Backrub to a very horny Janeway... It was, of course, a doc reverie...

Where’s that?

I thought it was only Two of Three.

It's "Tinker, Doctor...etc"

IOW, the one where the Doctor is daydreaming.


"Two of Three" was in Tom's parody of the Doctor's program in "Author, Author".
