Favorite 'Little' Moments Of VOYAGER...

[Defiler-Of-Redshirts]

I kind of like the interactions between these types of characters too, though they also differ amongst 'themselves'. Seven and Tuvok can happily spend an hour doing their duties but not talking, (did I say "happily"? ... maybe without insecurity), yet there are differences between the two. Throw The Doctor into the mix and he adds another variation.

I sort of see Seven as having her humanity taken from her and replaced by force. THEN her humanity is forced back on her so her relationship with other humans is both one of finding herself and one of guarded observation. Almost a competition between the two selves she has identified with, Borg and Human. With Tuvok he has worked alongside with and has co-existed with humans and other Federation beings. Yet the dominance of humans has placed him under their command where they both utilise his strength in logic (a quality some humans share) but also judge him for a lack of emotion. Mostly I think Tuvok feels superior but not out of ego, it's just a difference. As for The Doctor he views Humanity and Vulcans and Klingons and Borg as having the very essence he was denied by his very type of existence. The image of a human and the knowledge of a data bank, yet he most definitely exhibits ego, which should come from a 'person'. The Doctor is weirdly complex (as was his creator).

Absolutely I understand what you mean about 7-of-9's conflicted, ambivalent two halves of her personality. In the original "The Enemy Within" Spock said a very similar thing: "I also have two halves, human and alien, always at war with each other. I survive because my intellect wins out over both, forces them to live with each other, merge together." (or something like that, I'm paraphrasing the quote).

Seeing Janeway as a Borg.

 

[Farscape One]

"THE KILLING GAME, PART II" - when the Klingons force Neelix and the Doctor to fight with them, and Neelix says "Qa'pla" while the Doctor goes "Tallyho", delivered perfectly by Robert Picardo.

Seeing Janeway as a Klingon...

not sure Sirtis shares that same passion... or perhaps there was some respect for what she went through at a younger age and the resulting eating disorders, etc that followed in the wake.

During TNG whenever she actually eats icecream, she used to spit it out after the take most of the time. And she insisted on a light version of chocolate ice cream because it´s supposed to have less calories then the normal darker ones.

I am not even sure we ever see her actually eat anything, or put food in her mouth. Cinema is the art of illusion.

 

[Farscape One]

She ate chocolate in "The Game".

She ate chocolate in "The Game".

Do we see her actually put a spoonful of chocolate in her mouth?

 

[Farscape One]

Yes, twice. First, when Riker sits down, then again after she explains to him her chocolate ritual.

I see. Next time I'll be sure to watch for it.

 

[USS Excelsior]

Q: You can live a perfectly normal life if you’re willing to live a perfectly normal life.

Seven with her cheesecake

Janeway while being turned into a Borg (the acting's a little OTT but she has to be fighting it worse than the others)

Any scene between Neelix and Tuvok

Any scene between Seven and Janeway

Every time a Borg Queen sees Voyager and seethes "Janeway!", complete with virtual mustache twirling

One scene that culminates with the line "I'm not talking about the puppy."

Harry Kim's well-acted angst in "Timeless"

The crew getting to act all evil in "Living Witness"

Any scene with the awesomeness of John Rhys-Davies

Wasn't Chakotay topless in an episode too? Oh, never mind...

The studio lighting would make the ice cream disappear - though the illusion is illuminated as having melted away in the bowl, hehe...

But any individual food scene in TNG onward always just seems so warm and fuzzy and cool.

If he was I must have blocked that out.

 

[USS Excelsior]

Holographic Neelix getting strangled to death.

 

[Discofan]

Holographic Neelix getting strangled to death.

For all we know, Tuvok kept that program for as long as Neelix was on board.

 

[DonIago]

It's called a coping mechanism.

 

[Prax]

It's sandwiched on his list of programs between "waterpark" and "pon farr relief"

 

[Discofan]

The "pon farr" program has now three possible outcomes, you get the girl, you fight against a rival, you fight against the girl... The last one was added thanks to B'elanna.

 

[DonIago]

Isn't the fourth option "you both strangle Neelix"?

 

[Discofan]

Isn't the fourth option "you both strangle Neelix"?

That's a bonus!
