    Voyager's low ratings...?

    But it does. Because they had something they could promote: Seven of Nine. Hence Seven did in fact save Voyager the show. She's even the reason it's popular in reruns: https://vodzilla.co/blog/vod-news/voyager-is-the-most-re-watched-star-trek-series-on-netflix/ As Seven might say, your...

    Voyager's low ratings...?

    Yeah that's the thing. All TV shows lose viewers as they go on. It's "audience erosion" you can see it happen with DS9 even though the quality is considered excellent by the fans: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Star_Trek:_Deep_Space_Nine_episodes#Episodes Scorpion Part II got 10 million...

    Would you have preferred the conspiracy bugs (TNG s1) over the Dominion?

    From what I understand the bugs were only briefly considered until they realized they bugs kill their hosts, so they were replaced with enemy changelings since they could bring in legacy characters and not kill them. “I do like the conspiracy bugs, I did consider for a hot minute, the...

    So when did they abandon the "Doc Zimmerman" name for the EMH?

    I remember that because it was odd watching reruns and the closed captioning in the early episodes saying "Zimmerman: Sickbay to Bridge" or something like that

    Could Data Evolve BEYOND Humanity?

    All those time Data dies and comes back, he's evolving like Buddha

    Spoilers What other "special episodes" do you want to see on SNW?

    According to Death Wish, the Q who became Quinn was involved in saving Riker's ancestor in the Civil War so they were in and out of humanity over the years but we didn't know what Q are/were at the time. So they just have to keep any identifying bits to be when the main cast aren't around. But...

    Elogium's writer must have fallen asleep in biology class

    Elogium is like Pon Farr in that what information we got on screen seems very limited to when they can have offspring, yet looking at their society as depicted onscreen it can't be true that it's that limited. But that's Trek for you.

    What would the series have been like without the Dominion?

    30 years later and people are still debating if DS9 has enough Trekking in it. :klingon: I feel like they did explore the Gamma quadrant a bit when they had off time in episodes.

    Spoilers Star Trek: Lower Decks 4x01 - "Twovix"

    Plus the episode ends with the crew doing the same thing to the conglomerate entity. If it's a homicide, it's a justified one. In fact if it's murder, then a bunch of characters were murdered making all the Tuvixs, then accidentally murdered making the big meatball which was then intentionally...

    Spock/Chapel are not a good couple. The build up was the ''fun'' part

    Perhaps, Spock found that having Chapel is not so pleasing a thing, after all, as wanting. It's not logical but often true. :vulcan:

    Spoilers Strange New Worlds General Discussion Thread

    I honestly wondered if CBS might do that. If it is a trial balloon, they have 20 episodes now, which is almost a regular season worth. They'd have to trim a few minutes from each episode to fit commercials in but there's not really explicit content (I think Carol Kane got to drop an f-bomb but...

    Harsh realities of rewatching Star Trek Voyager

    I think it was more complicated that that, all of Voyager got split into 2 existences with neither really having a claim to "original" more than the other except for the majority of survivors being on one ship and a couple on the other. "He" wasn't really anything more than a transporter...

    How do VOY fans feel about TNG Borg episodes?

    I kind of laugh when TNG fans try to blame VOY for continuing what TNG already had done. The Borg had quit being mysterious by the time Lore was in charge of them. In fairness to VOY, TNG forgot they did that too and never mention it again. Probably because bug creatures were going to be the...

    Why is it always Wolf 359?

    I'd wish they'd just say one of those little spheres popped out the back, like in First Contact, nobody noticed it escaping with some Alpha Quadrant "samples" and it made it to transwarp and got away.

    Spoilers Is it possible that Chapel and Spock were in a romantic relationship during TOS?

    Riker was allowed to date crew members so Starfleet probably doesn't care. That said, I think they were both single by TOS. I think they break up eventually on SNW, maybe that inspires Spock's warning to T'Pring that she may find having is not as good as wanting Stonn.

    Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 2x05 - "Charades"

    Maybe since it's been so long since we've had live-action episodic Trek people still don't get that the show does a little bit of everything? Each episode is different and not really "building" to anything. So a fun, romcom, one isn't really a waste as they weren't automatically doing anything...

    Spoilers Does moving the Eugenics Wars into the 21st century fundamentally change things?

    Oh, you know what happened in between TOS and TNG? Star Trek IV. It's always Kirk's fault :lol: Something must have happened from going back in time for whales. Maybe Scotty did something when he gave that guy the formula for clear steel. In "Squire of Gothos" they say Trelane is observing...

    Why was Enterprise received so poorly?

    They took the cast of The Original Series and said "We'll make Spock female and we'll swap the races of Uhura and Sulu so she's Asian and he's now Black. And we're done"

    Spoilers Does moving the Eugenics Wars into the 21st century fundamentally change things?

    Voyager arrived in the 90s and there wasn't any overt evidence of the Eugenics Wars going while Neelix and Kes were watching TV. But remember Braxton arrived earlier than that in like the 1960s. So maybe he messed up the timeline a bit. The Romulan waiting for the wars might have thought it was...

    Why was Enterprise received so poorly?

    I watched it when it first aired and am basing this off my fuzzy memory. Nobody was really asking for a prequel, but then we got one and yet it seemed like they didn't even fully commit to the prequel premise, introducing time travelers and using TNG Klingons in the pilot. My memory is the...
