Star Trek Voyager Desktop Wallpapers

But I disagree with you on the other point - sorry about that. I think that there are some very good VOY books out there and even if they are not canon, they are well worth a shot. My favourite one is DISTANT SHORES - a collection of short stories which take place during the seven years of the TV show and the stories feel very much like they are part of the show.

So how come that you like J/C almost throughout the show and then towards the end you decided "well, maybe not ..."?

I may look into the one book you mention but the others make me cringe.

Sigh...J/C. I will try to explain.

The Workforce. Great show overall. B'Elanna and Paris...he feels an instinctive need to protect her and she is drawn to him even though their memories have been altered. He panics when she disappears.

Janeway...turns Chakotay over to the authorities. The instant she did that J/C went up in flames for me. He was suppose to be her closest friend, confidante, no one she trusted more, right... pfft. A memory wipe and it's all gone. Not for Paris and B'Elanna though.

When he was lying on that gurney, knowing what was coming, he was still fighting for her and the crew. The sight of him being reprogrammed because of her... sigh. Couldn't muster any J/C love after that. The flames had turned them to ashes for me.

Thanks for letting me know about the Fight. Saved me a lot of looking. I love The Fight. Chakotay's genuine fear of losing his sanity is heartbreaking and as I said elsewhere, something some people deal with every day. His scenes with his grandfather are so touching and well acted, particularly when he asks his grandfather to come home and they rest their heads against each other. Touching...and the symbolism of the fight to stay sane and the bell ringing to call them back to the fight. Heartbreaking imo.
 
BRIDE OF CHAOTICA!

I was never a fan of Captain Proton, but this wallpaper is hilarious. Especially the Doctor and Janeway.
 
Agreed @catshadowsi8 we all see things differently.

As for me, I would love to have seen Janeway and Chakotay as a couple. Not having seen them together, however, doesn't cause me any frustration either.

Of course, Tommy and Chakotay would be my ideal couple - but again, the fact that they weren't doesn't affect my enjoyment of the show.

And as far as the relaunch books are concerned, I appreciate the work Beyer puts into them. They are very exciting stories and her writing style is good.

But nothing can leave me in the cold as much as those relaunch books. They are just the opposite of what VOY is about for me: a ship lost at the other end of the galaxy. That's the premise of the show and that's what those books tear to shreds and turn into its opposite.

But different strokes for different folks as you English-speaking people would say ... :D
I could stand the relaunch books if they had kept all the main characters. Then it wouldn't have bothered me if they were on new missions in the Alpha Quadrant after the homecoming.

It's the characters who made Voyager what it was.
 
Red and blue ... as you know this is my favourite colour combination. Not that I don't like any other colours (except brown maybe) ... but red and blue together totally rocks I think.
So here's a wallpaper for DEATH WISH in those two stunning colours. Hope you'll like it.

Nice colors and the original Q looks so innocent.... and he really isn't, everybody knows. ;)

One of my favourite episodes, I must admit. Particularly exchanges between Janeway and Q (Mulgrew and de Lancie enjoyed to share scenes together and they showed it), like a kind of ping pong match.
-> Q liked Janeway but I'm not sure that this feeling was shared by the Consortium ... :whistle:
-> I would have prefered to see Q helping the crew to come home than Reginald Barclay.
 
... not my favorite episode (though no dislike for it either), but Janeway does look pretty classy in white. Was Mortal Coil the first time we see Naomi? (haven't gotten there on my rewatch yet)
 
Oh my favorite colors again! Thanks.
You're most welcome.
Not that I know what your favourite colours are ... but I'm glad to see you can occasionally see them in my wallpapers ... :biggrin:
Which, by the law of large numbers, is just logical because I make wallpapers in all colours ... so once in a while I should get it right for everyone ... I mean colourwise ... :D
Actually I try to avoid brown if I can. For some reason that colour doesn't appeal to me. I use it occasionally, for example in eps where the characters wear brown anyway (Janeway in SACRED GROUND springs to mind) but otherwise I use it very rarely.
And some of you might have noticed that the background of my pictures are rarely light. I tend to use darker colours for that simply because if you do use these pictures as wallpapers (like I do), something with a white or even a light yellow background will appear too shiny on your screen and you can barely look at it.

Yeah, I had that wallpaper with her where she wears white from different episodes - do you remember that one?
We see Naomi Wildman in DEADLOCK for the first time - the episode in which she is born. Actually two of them are born at the same time but one of them dies ... :wah:
Then we can see her in BASICS as the local inhabitants of that planet in the Hanon system help her get over the high temperature she is suffering from.
So in MORTAL COIL she actually appears for the third time in the show - albeit it is the first time she's been able to speak properly.
I feel bad saying this but as much as Janeway suits white I find her look just a tad frumpy in this :(
What does "frumpy" mean?
