I officially began my journey through all Star Trek on October 9th...

The only other role I remember her from in the 90s was the movie Cube
Didn't realise she was in that. I'll have to watch it again - thanks!

For the curious, Cube was kind of a sci-fi version of Saw:

My big problem with Take me Out... was that I will never believe you can fit two baseball teams and an audience in one holosuite (or two), and make them all believe they're on one huge field, spaced out as far as they were, interacting seamlessly. At that point it's TARDIS magic, not trek sci-fi.

I know, I know, just go with it.

Pretty sure the holodeck has been magic since the TNG pilot.
 
Oh yes, that's a really good episode. I mean Weyoun was already a bit of a star after the Occupation Arc, yet that episode just made me love him. Great character.

I enjoyed the subplot too, though I think they we're channeling the subplot of Progress a bit (Jake and Nog trying to sell on Yamok Sauce.) To be fair it was a good little story to steal anyway. ;)

It was funny seeing O'Brien's reaction to the chaos Nog was creating.
 
:lol:

I thought it was a pretty good episode. Not amazing, as it blatantly defangs what was a strong foe. I do like the cold war aspect it had though.
 
Frankly, I don't see how you can fly a shuttle without a joystick, or a control column of any kind.

Normally it's the computer that pilots the shuttle, you just tell it which way you want to go and the computer takes care of the finer details.
 
We're so used to seeing the immaculate uniforms, the perfect hair and the powerful starships portrayed in Star Trek and its combat scenes that you don't usually get to see the rougher side to the war, the gritty and more realistic portrayal of it.

The Siege of AR-558 really nails the atmosphere of a grim and bloody war. Great episode.
Perhaps the most unique episode in the franchise.
 
Oh my. The visual effects in Timeless are unlike anything I've seen on any of the shows prior to this. The crash-landing scene was surprisingly great for 18-year-old CGI.
There's a web site called Jim Wright's Delta Blues. This guy did really long, sometimes humorous reviews of the Voyager episodes. The way he described the crash scene of Voyager in Timeless was "A thousand ton skier with his skis on fire".

Was that supposed to be complimentary, though?
 
Dukat has changed a lot.

He always was a Villain, even when he fought the Klingons. So maybe deep down he hasn't changed all that much. He just found that the pah wraiths represented just the kind of villainy that he wanted to spread around. So I'll say this. His change was more on the surface than anything else.
 
...did I just see Tom using a joystick in a shuttle?

Also, Chakotay's fetish for Species 8472s disguised as human females is disgusting.
And yet weirdly and creepily the most "in character" thing we have ever seen Chakotay do. I mean we all knew he was a freak...

siege of AR-558 is a fantastic episode. It's follow up episode is also great in a different way, dealing head on with trauma and PTSD. It might redeem Nic Fontain in your mind. Quark's observations on humans is Siege remains as one of those truly haunting ST observations. Perhaps the sublets yet most prescient contrast between the perfect humanity of TNG and DS9's Federation at war.
