I'm rewatching the series and I just love the chemistry between Seska and Cullah. I love Seska's seductive "yes Marje" and the stuff during Maneuvers I did find kinda funny.
I always liked this exchange from 'Survival Instinct', especially the way Mulgrew delivers the line 'Skip the recruiting speech, you were looking for a bar. ' JANEWAY: A friendly game? (Paris has a black eye.) PARIS: Well, that's how it started. (Kim has a cut lip.) JANEWAY: I see. Perhaps you could explain to me how this friendly game turned into a street brawl? PARIS: Well, Harry and I wanted to explore the station. We wanted to broaden our understanding of alien cultures and, er JANEWAY: Skip the recruiting speech. You were looking for a bar. Then what? KIM: Well, we found one, and we met a pair of Kinbori who told us about this game they play with these big, odd-looking rackets. JANEWAY: You mean one of those? BOTH: Yeah! PARIS: In any case, they challenged us to a game and we accepted, but I guess we weren't quite aware of all the rules. JANEWAY: Because you'd been drinking. PARIS: Yes, ma'am. You see, we thought it was a version of tennis, but as soon as we hit the first volley this Kinbori jumps over the net and starts attacking us with his racket. KIM: So we figured we were supposed to fight back. PARIS: Yeah. KIM: And then, er, well, things got a little out of hand. JANEWAY: A little out of hand? Seven Voyager crewmen, including two bridge officers, along with thirteen Kinbori and one Morphinian café owner, all arrested. The charges range from disorderly conduct to assault on a security officer. KIM: That last one's not true. JANEWAY: Thank you, Mister Kim. I'll note that exception in my log. You're both confined to quarters until further notice, after you report to Sickbay. That's all. Well, did you win? PARIS: Oh yes, ma'am. Also honorable mention to Janeway's 'I'm a size four' from 'Bride of Chaotica'
It means there is no way she's a size 4. I assumed thats why you found the quote humorous, but perhaps not.
No I found it humorous because of mulgrews delivery and janeways resignation at having to play in the holodeck. I don't know women's dress sizes so have no idea whether janeway is or isn't a size 4.
In that case it's not that funny. I mistakenly read into it that your amusement was based sarcasm that came from society/media creating yet another example of unrealistic expectations regarding women being unfairly judged on their appearance. My bad.
Absolutely not. Quite the contrary I was agreeing with you that it was humorous on some sarcastic level. I did misinterpret but I was in no way attempting to accuse or attack you.
From season 6's Alice, the EMH and B'elanna on trying to distract Tom during Voyager's rescue. [Sickbay] JANEWAY [OC]: And tell B'Elanna to prepare for an away mission. TORRES: Captain? [Bridge] KIM: We're four minutes away. JANEWAY: Bridge to Sickbay. [Sickbay] (Torres has a blinkie on her temple.) JANEWAY [OC]: Status? EMH: Stand by, Captain. I'm making the final adjustments. TORRES: I'm not sure how I feel about getting inside Tom's head. EMH: Maybe you'll be able to explain a few things when you get back. And after the rescue. [Sickbay] (Paris is clean-shaven and back in Starfleet uniform.) EMH: You'll need a few days to fully recover. Think you can manage to stay off your feet for that long? TORRES: If he doesn't, I'll break his legs. EMH: Well then, I'll leave you to B'Elanna's tender mercies. TORRES: I've got something for you. It's a get well card from Naomi Wildman. It's a pretty good likeness of you, but I don't think she quite captured my eyes. PARIS: I'm sorry. For everything. TORRES: It wasn't your fault. PARIS: But I remember all of it. Everything I said, everything I did. It was like I was sleepwalking. TORRES: The important thing is, you woke up. PARIS: Yeah. Thanks for being my alarm clock. TORRES: Any time. PARIS: From now on, I promise no more affairs with strange ships. TORRES: What about the Delta Flyer? PARIS: We're just friends. (They kiss.)
