Not likely.
I officially began my journey through all Star Trek on October 9th...
- Thread starter Shalashaska
- Start date
Not likely.
There's a bit of retconning, so this couldn't be a scenario from the first season.
"With all due respect, Tuvok, loosen up."
Laughed a little too hard at that.
Note that Seska engineered circles around Torres.
It was a training exercise.
I think by season three even the producers realized that they should have gone a bit darker and had a bit more conflict. The whole Starfleet + Maqui elements fell victim to Berman and company's rigid adhearence to one of Gene's most basic rules. There can be no conflict among the ships crew. It was a great idea that was smothered in its crib. This epidoe really only managed to highlight that fact. The best way to view the episode is that the writers and producers are finally starting to pick up on some of the missteps that have been made over the 3 seasons and write around them or seek to make amends. Sadly while not the fantastic turnarounds that we saw with TNG and DS9 (we will not speak of TNG Season 7 ("we ran out of ideas and phoned it in damit!")) it does lead into a very strong Season 4.
Well The Gift is IMO the third part of a three part episode arc that starts with Scorpion Part 1.
Glad you liked Scorpion. It was my BOBW moment of a holly shit cliffhanger as I wasn't into TNG when it originally aired.
Yeah The Gift is probably the culmination of that particular arc, so a break would feel pretty natural after it.

How true! kes was doomed to leave the ship as soon as seven showed up.
Now have fun with the Dominion War.

It's not all about the Dominion war, fortunately.
No, but the next six episodes certainly are.

You're right.
Actually I think the original thought was to keep Kes and have Seven replace Harry Kim. That got shot down when Garrett Wang was named in some big magazines list of hottest male stars, and they thought they had some marketing potential with ol Harry Kim... so they continued their policy of making this "Hottest Actor around" type be the most sexually pathetic individual in the universe. (Seriously let this sink in. They more or less sold him to a planet as a sex Slave to a female Harem... he got no luvin. Heck in his one documented successful romantic interlude, Janeway tosses him in the brig for an extended period. Yes Harry Kim is the only officer in Star Fleet to ever be thrown in jail for sex with an alien. He is that pathetic. As I said the rules of the Universes Karma insist for there to be a James T Kirk or William Riker... there must also be a Harry Kim.)
And congrats on making it back to DS9. You have just passed through what is overall one of the worst seasons of Star Trek in the Franchise and are about to embark on one of the Best. Enjoy the ride.
All true and old news to me.
Arguably, Seven of Nine took more time from Harry Kim than from Kes. Obviously Kes left the series, and all the stories about maturing could be rebooted and given to Seven. On the other hand, more of the stories that put the science/operations officer in the spotlight went to Seven, when they ought to have been for Harry Kim.
Yeah but personally I believe Harry dodged a bullet there almost at the end of the show with THAT story line.
Garrett Wang certainly dodged a bullet, but only to provide us with four more years of fodder for Harry Kim jokes.
Yes, he was everybody's official whipping boy.
It might have been a mercy killing. I am not sure continuing to live as Harry Kim is a kindness.Yeah but personally I believe Harry dodged a bullet there almost at the end of the show with THAT story line.
Having to say "No" when Seven asked him if he wanted to sleep with her must have been excruciating.
