Favourite red alert moments

[Agony_Boothb]

Hey dudes,

call me strange but one of my favourite things about voyager was when the ship went to red alert and i for one was happy it happend in almost every episode.

In particular my two favourite 'red alert moments' are

'Resolutions' when Voyager meets with the Vidiian ship and finds itself surrounded by three. The 'i knew this would f*cking happen' look on tuvoks face is great. The subsequent battle is also pretty kick arse.

'prey' when tuvok announces that the biomatter he has found is a match for species 8472. Chakotay's reaction was awesome and i liked the klaxon they used for intruder alert although it was never heard again.

what about you guys? what were your favourite red alert moments?

One that pops into my head is in "Death Wish" when Janeway calls red alert the moment Q introduces himself.

Personally, my favorite Voyager alert status was the blue alert, when they landed. I'm still trying to figure out the circumstances that blue alert is used for though - the Ent-D went to blue alert to enter spacedock, and Defiant went to blue alert when cloaked.

Maybe it means that the ship is undergoing manuevers with a high risk of unshielded collision....

 

[Voyagerian]

Maybe it's a 'Specialized Flight Condition' catchall....or happenstance that the various writers picked the same color...

 

[ChaosAngel]

mine is the same as kimc. that was just friggen classic!

 

[CDP]

my favourite is when they come across the borg cube in Unity.

"Maybe we should go to red alert and get it over with?"

"Commander?"

"The way you fiddled with your combage, you do it every time..."

Even though she had never done it before!

The only reason the ship doesn't go to blue alert more often is because it meant they had to change the bulb.

I miss Red Dwarf....

 

[SupAJ!M]

Towards the end of Scientific Method when the crew member dies on the bridge and Janeway is like "right! thats it, ive had nuff of dis!"


Janeway: "This ends right now"

Tuvok: "Captain, what are you doing?"

Janeway: "I'm gonna run a little experiment of my own, RED ALERT!"

I hated that. Why on Earth would anyone have written a scene like that into a fifth-season episode?

So lazy and pointless...

 

[Lazarus]

Maybe it's a 'Specialized Flight Condition' catchall....or happenstance that the various writers picked the same color...

Yeah, definately 'unusual operation' or, like you've said 'specialised flight condition'.

Voyager landing, the Defiant operating under cloak. Condition blue when the ship is doing something outside the field of 'normal' operations.

 

[Kathryn-janeway]

Mine is deadlock, were janeway goes 'welcome to the bridge' and then boom !if im correct

 

[freak]

Kathryn-Janeway: oh yeah!!!! That scene was really classic and superb! I'm watching that episode now on TV and can't wait til that scene pops up again.
Another one was in "Dreadnought" when that silly ship was about to go to a pointless target.

That was my favorite moment on Voyager.

 

[RapidNadion]

Any time it happened automatically. I loved that the ship was smart enough to initiate Red Alert if it detected dangerous conditions.

My favorite klaxon for Red Alert was the one on the Defiant. A suitable blend of futuristic and jarring. A close second would be the all-purpose "engineering alarm" used from TNG onward, though. Voyager's buzzer, by contrast, really got on my nerves.

one of my favourite things about voyager was when the ship went to red alert

Hmmm. Last ep, season 3, opening teaser(?). Harry Kim has informed the Captain that a BORG cube has just appeared on long range scanners... "No, make that 2... 3...5... 8... There are FIFTEEN BORG cubes bearing down on our location, Captain." Then 15 cubes go flying by, sending Voyager flipping in their "wakes" like a row boat on a lake after 15 speed boats rush by... One stops to scan them, then just leaves Voyager behind and takes off after the other 14.
The other thing I loved about many of the red alert moments was, as a friend once said, Janeway had this amazingly nonchalant way of slouching in her seat EVEN DURING the most critical times. :-)
