Funny or weird observations about Voyager

I remember wondering why they didn't have the borg drone actor just play mulcahy as well. I thought that could've been neat.
 
Is it my imagination, or during the general frivolity of "Living Witness" at slightly after the 8 minute mark, Paris responds to Janeway with an "Aye, aye, sir" that sounds very much like an homage to Chekhov?

Hmm....maybe.

I always felt sorry for Jeri Ryan having get back into her full Borg gear in that one.
 
But she did have a jolly time cleaning house on the Kyrians in Engineering. ;)
 
I can't think of any others about Voyager at the moment but with TNG I remember when I read the All Good Things novelisation and lwaxana troi says "rixx knows" (meaning that sacred chalice thing), and me not understanding the reference because I had only started watching in season 7 but at the same time knowing there had been a captain rixx in an episode, I decided that lwaxana and captain rixx were in a relationship.
 
Another one I noticed. Did anyone else think that B'Elanna's forehead ridges were less pronounced in the later seasons as opposed to the earlier ones?
 
They moved her hairline forward later I believe so it seemed like she had less ridges.

They moved her hairline forward later I believe so it seemed like she had less ridges.

After watching a long string of later voyager episodes, I picked an early one (S1 or S2). I really had to get used again to how b'Elanna looked in early VOY, as the difference is quite noticeable.
 
I don't think it's so much she appeared to have less ridges because of the hairline, but they seemed harsher or stood out more. At first I speculated that maybe her Klingon DNA wasn't as dominant after "Faces", but I believe it was way after that I noticed the change in appearance.
 
The Doctor abandoned his child, albeit not by choice. By the time he could have been sent back his child would have lived a full life and died, wondering his whole life why his father just up and vanished one day.
 
Well he wasn't responsible for all the destroyed shuttles. But it seemed to me, in the one episode I recall him landing Voyager (the demon planet). He didn't seem to set it down as gently as Paris did in the episodes that he landed the ship. But that could have been the nature of the planet they were landing on.

Don't forget that Paris told Janeway himself that he was the best pilot she could have. There might have been more truth to that than cockiness.
 
Ok, I watched Timeless and Janeway didn't say it in that episode. But I think she has said it in another.

According to chakoteya.net, it looks like it was "Ashes to Ashes", and it wasn't Chakotay she was with, it was Lyndsay Ballard:

Ashes to Ashes said:
JANEWAY: Come in. Formal dress wasn't required, Ensign.
BALLARD: Well, I just, I figured, dinner with the captain.
JANEWAY: I'd hardly call this dinner. My replicator decided to liquefy the pot roast.
BALLARD: It looks fine to me.
JANEWAY: Stop trying to get on my good side and grab a slice of bread. Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. I hope you don't mind.

The other episodes you already mentioned:

Deadlock said:
NEELIX: Good, good. By the way, I was wondering if you'd take a look at the thermal array in the kitchen. It overloaded this morning and vaporised an entire pot roast.

Macrocosm said:
PARIS: I volunteered to help out while Neelix is away on the trade mission. The heating array overloaded, it incinerated a twelve kilo pot roast and all the food replicators went offline.

And the other one where you thought Neelix mentioned it again appears to be "Night":

Night said:
NEELIX: Anxiety? Anxiety's what I feel when I burn a pot roast.

(And the search also showed they actually had non-incinerated pot roasts in "The 37s" and "Relativity"! :lol:)
 
How many time over the course of the series, did someone say "I incinerated a pot roast"? It seemed to be a running joke and I think Janeway managed do it using a replicator for heavens sake. :)

What was the deal with all the mentions of the number 47? And I don't think it was just Voyager, but the other later Treks as well.

Except for Seven of Nine, Tom Paris has fathered offspring with each of the main female cast. Granted one was in an alternate universe. (Linnis born to Kes in the episode Before and After). And Lizard Paris and Lizard Janeway left their three hatchlings behind in Threshold. And then his official child Miral with B'Elanna.

Don't forget when he and Neelix became gay daddies to a dinosaur puppet!
 
In the episode "Repentance" they had to set up makeshift brig cells in a cargo bay because Voyager only has one brig cell.

Remind me again, what Voyager's original mission was?
 
The sheer number of Janeway/Chakotay shipping music videos on YouTube. Included an example, in a spoiler tag so as not to be TOO obnoxious.

You don't understand. He may have done it on purpose ;)
