But I think they really liked each other...
but won't admit it.
speaking of Paris in season one didn't Janeway embarrass Paris by pointing out his lack of credentials?
It doesn't ring a bell. She's the one who convinced him to come to Voyager, at any rate.
Saw part of scientific method yesterday. Of course the famous 'shall I flog them as well' line is there (already mentioned in this thread), but there's also a sickbay scene between Neelix and Chakotay, trying to one-up each other as to who is suffering the worst. I always found that scene funny in a somewhat morbid way, and also because it reminds me of certain people I know who really like to complain about their illnesses...
The only thing that spoils it a bit is that imho, it is not really into character for Chakotay to behave like that.

Actually, it's a way to relieve tension. Making fun of your own condition also known as showing grace under pressure.
There's a famous example in French history :
Robert-François Damiens who stabbed (without killing him) King Louis the Fifteen of France:
Was condemned not only to death but to an endless list of awful tortures before that. Once he was read that list his comment was: "It looks like I have a busy day ahead of me."
That's called having big cojones!
;-) My tablet wanted to change friend to fry. "French fries aren't even French!" I argue with my technology.

Actually, they are.
"Threshold" showed up in another thread which made me remember a funny comment from that episode, just after Tom has collapsed in the mess hall and is taken to sickbay:
Indeed.
Did he say he was allergic to water? I thought that was kinda funny too. Who the hell did come up with this idiotic idea?
That would make him allergic to seventy percent of his own body.
^^
Obviously, he was allergic to water considering how he started to look after a while.
Well, in popular culture when we say that someone is allergic to water that can only mean two things, bad hygiene or that he's a lush.
I agree that a nightmare makes more sense. Also Chakotay could have gotten him out of there with his lucid dreaming thing...
Men, they always have to "one up" each other.
From "Scientific Method"
(Later, Paris is working in the Doctor's office. Neelix walks stiff-legged into sickbay where Chakotay is sitting on a biobed. He's carrying a glass of water.)
NEELIX: I thought you might be thirsty.
CHAKOTAY: Thanks. Do you smell something strange?
NEELIX: I, I'm afraid that's me. I seem to be developing Mylean sweat glands. Sorry.
CHAKOTAY: It's not so bad.
NEELIX: Well, whatever happens, I try to keep in mind things could be worse.
(Neelix sits next to Chakotay, with a grunt.)
NEELIX: I still have my home here on Voyager, my friends.
CHAKOTAY: Your hair.
NEELIX: True. But I'd gladly lose it if I could have my taste buds back.
CHAKOTAY: At least you're not losing your eyesight. See that display over there? It's nothing but a blur.
NEELIX: You think that's bad? The Doctor tells me my pupils have dilated sixty percent. I can't even look at that display, it's so bright.
CHAKOTAY: Yeah? Well I've got chronic arthritis in my fingers. I could barely keep this glass steady.
NEELIX: Well, that's nothing. My spinal column is fusing together. In a matter of days I won't be able to walk.
CHAKOTAY: Got you beat. I can barely walk now.

I don't mean to be difficult but I believe someone has already posted this dialogue.Men, they always have to "one up" each other.
