Best. Review. Ever!!!!!
Best. Review. Ever!!!!!
Thanks, guys. I've been really overworked with RL stuff, so doing this has been a lot of fun. Looking back at the old posts was a lot of fun, too. I've really changed how I think of the show.
Before we go on, I want to share a couple of facts with you.
August 10, 2010. Not quite knowing what he's getting into, Shatnertage starts a thread on his experiences watching Voyager. He's pleasantly surprised by the reactions to his post about "The Thaw," and decides to continue.
September 1, 2010. T.D. Possum confesses that she, too, likes "Sub Rosa," but finds "Remember" unmemorable.
November 6, 2010: JanewayRulz! spills the beans about Harry Kim's poor choices in women...something I will soon learn is all too true.
January 11, 2011: exodus makes an "Equinox" reference that I didn't get at the time.
March 3, 2011: Markira says she's starting to feel at home on the TBBS.
March 10, 2011: froot posts a picture of a unicorn.
It's all connected somehow, just like...
"The Voyager Conspiracy"
I really liked this episode--it was a lot of fun, with some good comedy stuff mixed in with serious themes about trust. It's definitely what they call a "high-concept episode," but thankfully it doesn't involve DNA being rewritten. It's just about what happens when you try to digest more information than you can handle.
There are a few really good threads in here. Seven's growing paranoia is one, but the way she turns Janeway and Chakotay against each other is another. I really liked their scene at the Borg alcove--it almost seemed liked something out of a romantic comedy. Kate Mulgrew really did that sort of thing well.
I loved all of the conspiracy theory talk, and that alien was actually pretty cool. Even his strange hand gestures were neat. I hope he made it hope.
Did they use the catapult in the end? I forget.
Of course, the icing on the cake is NaomiWildman and Seven getting scenes together. Funny, but touching at the same time.
Another great episode. I feel like I've been on a roll.
I can't remember, is "Projections" before or after "The Swarm"?It was a cute episode, just lightweight fun. I'm surprised no one remembered Barclay from "Projections." Didn't the Doctor have an extended conversation with his holographic image?

For me, I hate "Pathfinder" because I hate Lt. Barclay.

I don't like the nervous energy, stuttering, stammering and all around socially incompetent aspect of him. I'm frightened at the fact some one like him serves in the military and probably has clearance to carry a weapon. I'm frightened that in a time of crisis when you need clear & precise communication from a crew, he can't give that. I feel part of serving the military is the the ability to cover your crewmates back in times of crisis. I couldn't trust someone like Barclay to do that(one reason why Neelix couldn't be security), so I see him more as a liabilty than an asset.For me, I hate "Pathfinder" because I hate Lt. Barclay.

Really? How come?
Which means our universe Barclay would run, leaving Picard to die while he hid in a corner.FWIW, Mirror Barclay was Picard's chief bodyguard in a TNG novel that I read.

Simply put, I find him dangerous.

Personality wise, No(Hey, I'm being honest) but I'd find him acceptible as an outside contracted Engineer. So in that aspect, yes.I don't like the nervous energy, stuttering, stammering and all around socially incompetent aspect of him.

These are all good points. And I agree with them. But I still like Barclay. It's like the jelly fridge. Reason does not always enter into my Trek judgment.Now that I think about it, though, one of the main reasons I like him is that he was the primary character chosen to explore the idea of holo-addiction, which I think is a really interesting theme. If he had never gotten the holodeck eps, I'd probably lump him in with Neelix as . . . you know. Like Neelix.
Would you like him if he was a civilian?
