Oh come on, my dear Thomas, I never hid that I didn't like Chakotay's character and/or the idea of a Janeway/Chakotay's romance since the beginning (of my subscription on this forum), which earned me some quite violent reactions/recriminations, despite detailed explanation of the reasons that made me think so. Yes, Chakotay/Robert Beltran has got a charming smile but well, the physique of an individual, real or fictional never made anyone sympathetic or likeable ‎as far as I am aware, right?! In fact, personally, it would rather tend to make me suspicious! <grin>

As for the Doctor, I will surely surprise you but I liked him although as a hologram, I didn't recognize him a legal recognition. But right the 4th season, producers/writers led by Robert Picardo changed his character in a grotesque character. From a doctor whose the tasks were classical, he became ‎everything and anything. His omnipotence became for me annoying.

But what really bothered with these two characters is that both have 1) a lot of moralizing in them.

- Chakotay constantly questionned Janeway's decisions and/or physical/mental health, even if it was not always aloud -> I fairly question Chakotay's true motivations: to REALLY second her as any XO would do in that position or to take her seat, to show that he could do better than her, in taking control of Voyager (which proves to be bigger, more powerful & better equipped in armament level and crowded than his former vessel, the Val Jean).
- As for the Doctor, it was simple: he was convinced that he was better than everyone as an individual (although still being a common hologram), able to supplant everyone and in all fields.
-> isn't it ironic that the Doctor teached Seven how to be an individual while himself is unaware of what an individual is and how he behaves!

More I saw them in action, more I wondered if they didn't act/do worse than those they tried to supplant.

2) their lack of gratitude towards Janeway for what she gave to them: freedom to go and to be. Instead, they showed their propensity to betray her trust.

I must admit that it surprise me when you write that "Chakotay constantly questioned Janeway's decisions and/or physical/mental health, even if it was not always aloud" which you state as a reason for not liking him. Most of those who dislike and criticize Chakotay states that he was just Janeway's lapdog and never questioned her decisions.

Anyway, I must admit that I actually like Chakotay who is my second favorite in the series after Kes and who could have been the best First Officer ever in any Star Trek series if the writers hadn't wasted the character like they did in seasons 4-7.

However, I agree with your statements about The Doctor. He was much better in seasons 1-3. I never liked the idea of that mobile emitter. It changed the character for the worse. But I never liked the focus on Seven, The Doctor and Janeway in seasons 4-7 at the expense of the other characters.

Totally agree with everything you said. Still, I love Voyager. Second best star trek series imo. Only TOS holds a more special place in my heart.

I like TOS, TNG, DS9 and Voyager.
They all have their special charm in their own way.
They also have so incredible characters!

TNG was my least liked. There was a character on there that made my teeth grind. That's really rare for me but when it happens I find it hard to watch. I suffered through one and a half seasons, then quit. Went back years later and watched the entire series but still not a huge fan.

The rest I like though TOS and Voyager i actually rewatch.

May I ask who that character was?
If you don't want to make it public, send me a PM.
Just curious!

COUNTERPOINT

I like very much this episode with :
- Janeway and Krashyyk offering us a charming ‎game of cat and mouse where seduction and bluff were the key words guiding the episode!
- Krashyyk and Prax -> a lot of to say about these both guys, especially their relationship: from master to servant with its dose of trust & teasing (from Krashyyk to Prax) and complete abnegation and loyalty (from Prax to Krashyyk).

I would have loved to see them both later in the show! :-)

Q2

I really liked Icheb, particularily the grown up version in Shattered. I loved seeing him with Naomi in that episode.

Love the texures and colors! Easily a favorite wallpaper.

 

[cosmic mouse]

Not a fan of Q2 particularly, but I like that paper, TE. The colors in Sci Method one you just posted are pretty cool too. I'm falling behind again in my rewatch... Tuvix is up next. Have you got anything to inspire me?

 

[Thomas Eugene]

Thanks, everyone.

CM, I'm afraid I have no wallpapers for TUVIX. Yet.

However, I searched and searched … and searched among my pictures … and I found something that might help. Your remark reminded me how TUVIX was about a plant after all that likes to cause transporter accidents and I suddenly remembered that a very long time ago (5-10 years) I made a wallpaper that might be fitting.

So have you guys noticed that our favourite ship is full of people who are good at plants and related stuff? If not, I have collected them for you. Please meet Star Trek Voyager's BOTANY EXPERTS:

So CM … does this picture inspire you enough to carry on with the rewatch?

 

[catshadowsi8]

You are one of a kind Thomas, going to all that effort for Cosmic Mouse.

I wish I could grow as much as I ... wished. Spent two years doing tissue culture (plants) and my own garden is a sad little reflection.

Thanks, everyone.

Aaaah, that most certainly does the trick, TE! Right after my doctor appointment this morning I aim to come back and watch Tuvix! Who knew there were so many green thumbs on VOY? What a talented crew and I bet they had plenty of recreational, Talaxian herb too (or whatever other craziness Neelix can come up with)....

edit: plus I LOVE the color foreground and the monochrome background on this one. Very nice!

Nice! Like the colors, atmospheric qualities, and Janeway's expression...

It looks like Janeway is thinking: "Well, Neelix at least tries to make coffee!"
