Good evening crewmen. Pleased to see there is still an active forum on a series that "ended" (I can go on about the way it ended but I'm sure its been discussed to death) nearly 2 decades ago. I have just again finished this series about an hour or two ago, the last time I have watched the series in its entirety was when it aired on t.v., 2 decades ago. There is something that I thought was missing from the very last episode (during the flash-forward of the life of the Voyager crew back home on earth).

I could've sworn there was a part where the doctor decided to accept a procedure where his program and image is somehow converted or made into a real life flesh and blood human being... complete with getting old and everything else that comes along with a natural human lifecycle... and had no memory at all of a girlfriend/fiancee for the doctor... although it has been 2 decades.

Perhaps this my own experience of the "Mandela effect" ( https://www.snopes.com/news/2016/07/24/the-mandela-effect/ )

:shrug:
 
Never heard that one, although it sounds like it'd have made a cool episode or novel (there was an excellent Next Gen novel where a wizard makes Data human, called Metamorphosis)

Voyager may have ended 2 decades ago, but with Jeri Ryan and Robert Picardo set to appear in Star Trek: Picard, soon it's gonna be like 1996 again.:techman:
 
Well, there was the reverse, in that episode where the Vidiian woman was temporarily given a holographic body and the Doc fell in love with her.

I believe that "Projections" is the episode you're thinking of, and/or mixing with another episode. In that one, the Doctor appears to be flesh & blood because of a malfunction within the holodeck and within his program. But he's still the same old Doc. And in another one, "Real Life," he also had a holographic family for an episode.

Welcome to the board. :techman:
 
or mixing with another episode

Yeah I thought about that, but I remember clearly... well guess I can't say clearly now as it is clear that it never happened... in this timeline anyways :p ... I had an image of just a couple frames, I guess, in my head where the Doctor had grey hair and somewhere along the line during the final episodes it was explained that he had become a full flesh and blooded human... but as I said, it has been 2 decades and perhaps maybe it was just a dream I had along the line that became fact with my fragmented memory bank. lol.

Wow. I can't believe it. I just searched for the trailer after your post and saw Seven... hoped to catch a glimpse of the Doctor too but didn't see or notice him. Are there clips with the Doctor in it as well? Just wow... I haven't re-watched the Voyager series for the past 18 or so years until now because I knew how disappointing of a end it had... for me at least, but finally decided to donate all my spare time this year into re-watching it again... and it has been another great journey... only wasn't as fulfilling as I knew how it would end the entire way. Now there is a chance to actually see what Seven and! the Doctor has been up to... those 2 at least, but if I had to pick 2, I'm sure it would be them.

Robert Picardo is in negotiations for season 2 so there are no pics or clips yet.

He does appear as Doctor Zimmerman (alongside Voyager's Tuvok and a bunch of other Trek alumni) in the fan production Star Trek: Renegades.

I don't recall the EMH ever being real, but we did get a greyhaired version of Dr Zimmerman in "Life Line".
