She was so pretty.

I was watching The Good Doctor a few nights ago and Tim Russ was in it! He played an older character... it was so nice to see him.

What's "hot to trot"? That must be again one of those English slang expressions I have no idea what they mean...
You must be very young, lol. That's an American expression as far as I know. It's from the mid-20th century or earlier. I've always known it to have a sexual connotation.
 

Thank you Thomas Eugene for this picture. :-) Brad Dourif was excellent, although a little underused in this episode (fortunately, he will help to save Voyager later! :techman:) as always (I just regret that each time I see him on TV screen, it is in a very dark roles).

About "Meld", I remember this episode for essentially 3 things :

- the kind of Tuvok's breakdown, after a mind meld on Suder, after which he explored all form of violence, whatever physical or mental. Great performance from Tim Russ. And I liked Janeway/Tuvok moments even some of them were far to be funny. You know how this relationship is dear to me)
- the fact that (Starfleet) crewman Frank Darwin, died tragically and for nothing (as seeing as he was murdered for no reason, by the own admission of the crime's author), let the commanding officers almost insensitive. As much I COULD understand Chakotay's timid reaction*, as much I was surprised by the lack of reaction from Janeway. I mean, Darwin was a member of her original Starfleet crew, right? And we know how protective she is with her crew but here, not the slightest reaction of sadness or anger from her part, as if the murder of a member of her crew by another one, was just a regrettable mishap! :shrug: (I would be curious to know what was written in the letter of condolence and support she will sent to the family once Voyager will be back on Earth, because let be sure that the family wants to know how their husband, brother or child has died! -> "Oh It is with a deep regret that I have to inform you that our husband/brother/child Crewman Frank Darwin, was killed by a psychopath I have graciously welcome on board, although I knew nothing about his dangerousness, I can swear. It was just an unfortunate incident!"?! :whistle:)

* timid behavior, which coud be mainly explained by some kind of embarrassment from his part - even if on screen, I had the impression that Chakotay doesn't care a bit of the "awkward" but tragic situation, like he will be when informing Janeway of Carey's death, in "Friendsip One" (is it due to Beltran's bad acting or just due to an ‎unfortunate director's decision?) - the fact that the murderer, Lon Suder, is none other than a member of his former Maquis crew (and that he knew how Suder presented a dangerously strange character, but choosed not to notice it - to ‎those most concerned with the composition of the crew, with ‎their strengths and weaknesses, aka Janeway, the Captain, or Tuvok, the Chief of Security-, in order to protect his crew while, now, both crews are supposed to be united under Starfleet standard! I guess that after several weeks on board of Voyager, Chakotay just forgot Suder's situation! <grin> -> some of you will again accuse me of Chakotay's bashing :shrug:but let me tell you that it was a serious msjudgment from a guy who served in the past as the leader of a crew himself and knew how it is important to know ‎what to expect with (wo)men serving under his command and, who currently occupies a role of second in command on board: when one is informed of the potential dangerousness of an individual, like having a past hystory of psychopath, the least thing to do is to at least prevent the Chief of Security, even orally, isn't it?! :crazy:).
- the relationship between Tuvok, the Vulcan who hides his emotions very well and, Neelix, the big-hearted eccentric and jovial Talaxian. Two different and even opposite personalities which will eventually meet and understand / respect each other at the end. Maybe their scenes only served to entertained the viewers from the dramatic character of the episode but it was a good break.from the dramatic atmosphere :-)

Ha-ha, I haven't been called young in a while ... :D
Well no, just have a look at my particulars under my avatar. You'll see that English is not my mother tongue ... :lol:
So I'm afraid there will be plenty of expressions used by you guys that I might have to ask about ... sorry about that.

Well, that's what I call a detailed analysis. It was a good read. I don't usually think so deeply about VOY - I just embrace the show as it is - it's so good ... :hugegrin: Nevertheless this was interesting ... and yes, if one of the VOY authors decided to write some book that contained Janeway's letter to Frank Darwin's family, I'd love to read Janeway's words too!

Of course, how much chance is there for that to happen? Below zero, I think. I mean, not one single VOY author has given us a good HIROGEN novel ... and they were kind of big on VOY compared to Darwin ...
 
I like a lot The Orville contrary to ST)
Why is that? Could you elaborate?
I'm not a big fan of Trek myself - except VOY, of course, which is the best show ever made in my book, and of DS9 to a certain extent. But the rest bores me, esp. Archer and co.

Btw, you're new ... so welcome. I hope you'll find some visual feast for yourself among my wallpapers ... :D
 
Do you think the look on your face was similar to that on Janeway's face? :D
And I guess the deer must have been surprised too.
The look on my face was probably accompanied with the words "Oh shit"! as I slammed on the brakes. Like I said, I didn't hit it. And it was not paying the slightest bit of attention. It had come down the hill to drink from a small stream which runs through the neighborhood (yes this is deer coming right into the main part of town) and then it runs back up the hill.
 
BEFORE AND AFTER

You have to say that the makeup work on Voyager was amazing. The actress is no where near that age now and yet they managed to give her an older look. I think about 'Fury', where they made Kes older as well, yet they stuck to the pixie hairstyle. That didn't make sense to me given she had the longer hair in The Gift. I know Lynx wonders if 'Fury' was inconsistent with the portrayal of Kes, but sometimes I think he's right.
