Does It Get Better???

Janeway was the self-parody in a lot of ways. Completely inconsistent, she'll be preachy about her ethics one week and perfectly willing to break them the next week.

The way you describe her, she's the most realistic character in Trek history.

What's your favorite episode?

Season 6's Blink of an Eye.

I thought the episode was very well done. We get to watch a civilization grow up and find its place in the galaxy. I don't want to spoil it for Screed, but he should queue it up and watch it. I don't think there is anything in the episode continuity-wise that prevents him from watching it out of order.

I dunno. Voyager's characters did seem cliche in a lot of ways.

Chakotay was well... dull. A few Indian cliches are all that define him. I can think of only two episodes he was really interesting in. The pilot(where I thought I was going to love this guy at the time) and Scorpion(where species 8472 briefly provides him with a functional pair of cajones).

The EMH was easily my favorite character, and he carried a LOT of episodes by himself, but he can't do it all.

Paris, well... let's see, he's a pilot, a field medic, commando, history expert, can design spaceships all by himself, oh and is a sci-fi fan.... can we say Mary Sue? Funny how all the Starfleet people in the pilot didn't want him around. Oh and they all died... well Chakotay didn't, but he lost his testicles in that episode.

Torres... well, her character traits include yelling at people, smashing people, fixing things and breaking them. She's angry all the time, but never over anything solid.

Kim... yeah, he's boring. Even his crew members thought that.

Kes... interesting premise, but poor execution. It might have been interesting seeing her explore her mental abilities, but the writers could never figure out what to do with her. So she got ditched.

Neelix... what a jerk. He forces himself into every situation, has to be the center of attention, gets jealous to the point of stalking, and is generally annoying. Frankly I have no idea why Janeway even trusted him after he lied to them and got them captured in the pilot.

Seven... well she was interesting. She had a perfectly calibrated pair of Borg spheres and that outfit was perfec--- oh her personality. She was a jerk. A hot jerk, but a jerk. It was amusing for awhile, but then got old. Then in season 7 they just literally hit a button and say. "You're human now! You have emotions!" and she falls for Chuckles... yeah.

I always thought Paris was the guy who sees through the fourth wall. Or..Us.

"Well, let's just delete the evil hologram and let my wife die"

"That's it. No more Captain Proton."

"Well, it's just you, me and the rocks, Tuvok."

Fantastic episode.. poignant AND nicely sci fi.

There was a Fantastic Four back up shortstory in the rear end one month once upon a time where we see the rise and fall of a subatomic alien empire, which was quite interesting and after a conclusive war, Reed Richards says from the other end of a relatively massive microscope "Well that was faster than yesterday, I wonder how long it will take them tomorrow?"

 

[AdmiralScreed]

Well I finished the season 2 blu ray of TNG, so I suppose I could maybe watch a little Voyager.....hmmm....maybe I'll watch some more. It's been awhile, maybe my perception of the show will change.

I hope so

You won't after you read his reviews

 

[exodus]

Honestly, I don't think we're getting anymore reviews.

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

But it's his thread! He must come home. Otherwise the squatters will take ownership.

 

[Guy Gardener]

That's you, you know?

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

That's you, you know?

Maybe I should give him 28 days notice. Occupy or be evicted.

WWKJD?

Notice was served August 19th. He did not return until January 2nd. I'd say he was properly evicted, and we are the new owners! He is trespassing on our thread.

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

But you know I think we should let him hang out here now and then. Kind of like a mascot.

[Guy Gardener]

Or we could just make him pay rent?

Life is Monopoly!

Doubt it.
He's been looking for excuses not to finish the show from the start. From the threads title, to stopping to watch TOS, then stopping again to rewatch TNG. His heart was never in it.

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

The next post will the post number 1500 in this thread.. so some of us have had our hearts in it. Or grubby fingers.

 

[AdmiralScreed]

I have watched a handful of Voyager episodes since my last "review," maybe half a dozen. Thoughts/opinions coming soon.....and sorry, not payin rent for my own thread....
