When you die, you're remembered by friends and loved ones. When you're erased from history, you're absolutely nothing and so are all of your accomplishments.Being wiped out of history is not worse than death. It's exactly like it without the agony.
When you die, you're remembered by friends and loved ones. When you're erased from history, you're absolutely nothing and so are all of your accomplishments.
The experience of death is presumably identical. But ultimately, what else is there to live for but to create and leave a legacy? And being erased robs you of that, and your loved ones of ever knowing you (even if they're forever ignorant of it)Whether people worship you, erect statues of you or don't know who you are, makes no difference once you're dead. Your oblivion will be exactly the same with or without remembrance.
I think that Tuvok is one of the best aspects of VOY. I always enjoyed the Tuvok focused episodes, especially the one where he had to communicate why he could not reciprocate feelings for an alien woman (cannot remember the name of the episode). Such a rich dynamic for that character.
Tuvok was pretty invisible to me for some time, but then he became my favorite Star Trek Vulcan, and one of the reasons I enjoy Voyager so much. I wish there was several more Tuvok-focused episodes. Tim Russ and whoever cast him did a great job.
When Neelix isn't being obnoxious, he has some really fantastic moments. He's always like 2 levels away from being a very compelling character. There are many episodes where Neelix just needs to be turned down a notch.
That goes for the Doctor too...…."Photon Be Free!" .......geeez
I always thought Neelix was a valuable member of the crew that helped keep them together. I hear a lot about how either worthless he was or annoying.
The last episode he was in when he found other Talaxians and decided to stay with them was among the most touching.
I have to resist the urge to point out how illogical some things were in that episode though, it's so easy with this show.![]()
I feel like Neelix gets too much hate.
There is all the credit to Ethan Phillips for his portrayal. There are some Neelix episodes that work incredibly well and cement his relationship with the crew. There are just as many (if not more) where Neelix claims to know something and gets people hurt because he doesn't actually.
But, in the spirt of the thread Neelix and Tuvok were a great back and forth.
What exactly was illogical in this episode?
Unless they found some wormhole while fleeing Talax. But that was never stated.
Well, the Talaxian colony Voyager found was 40,000 light years away from Talaxia, the area where Voyager was originally stranded at.
It would have took Voyager 40 years to reach that same area the colony was in and the only reason they got there in 7 years was because of accidents and freak occurrences.
The Talaxians seem to have gotten there in only 17 years. It would have took the Talaxians 40 years to travel to that asteroid field too.
One could also argue that someone can't be robbed of something they never had to begin with.
Amazing amount of Seinfeld actors wound up on VOY... you just named two right there. Think Tank rocked, maybe Janeway and her spirit guide less so, but...Amongst various things, I loved some of the guest characters. “Think Tank” with Jason Alexander was one of my favorite episodes. The Queen of the Borg was great (Susanna Thompson) though I suppose there were some holes in that concept. I loved the spiritual guide woman when Janeway went through the ritual to save Kes. I thought Seven of Nine’s human father was hot.
Seinfeld + VOY? I could make a joke about VOY being a show about nothing, but then we'd have to say, "Not that there's anything wrong with that."Amazing amount of Seinfeld actors wound up on VOY... you just named two right there.
