tng to voyager confusion

You're going through quickly, Data Lover. I only watch one episode a night, so I bet you'll be passing me soon.
 
i can only go as fast as slow netflix sends them to me, though i did up my dvds at a time from 2 to 3 when i started watching voyager :D
 
Yeah, you're only like 13 or so episodes behind me now. Yuk, and if you just watched Coda , you're fixin' to come up on some real crap for a while, including an episode focused on Neelix. Hang in there, once you get past Fortunate Son, you'll get to some good stuff again.

BTW I like that Voyager Bunch avatar.
 
Okay, well I'm a TNG girl generally, but a friend of mine vehemently recommended voyager so I'm watching that now and I am confused as to how holographs can suddenly exist outside of the holodeck? I mean, Voyager says it's because they have the sensors in sick bay, but if it was that simple why didn't they do that for Moriarty on tng?

also, if there's such a need to conserve power that they're avoiding using the replicators and keelix has to make that craptastic food, why are people on the freaking holodeck all the time? wouldn't that take more power than some coffee?

and why did they use the same actor that played nick locarno on tng to play tom paris and give him an almost identical backstory?

and why do people suddenly have colds again? Remember on TNG when wesley crusher talked about how people used to get colds when picard had that headache from that mind probe? well on voyager tom talks about how he had a cold when he was 9.
please go to the tng subforum and start a thread there called "tng to tng confusion". the episode with the cold was "datalore". not ten years later in the different show voyager did the cold reappear first, but in the very next tng episode "angel one". half the ships crew went down with a virus. how could a holographic snowball hit picard off the holodeck in the same epsode?
and what happened to geordie? he used to be a bridge officer in the early epsiodes, with no indication that he was capable of banging a nail into the wall. main engineer was a big fellow with a beard and scottish accent, argyle(?), probably meant as a homage to scotty. so, where and when did geordie all of a sudden grow the knowledge in engineering?

yeah, i suffered through the neelix centered episode last night if you're talking about the one where he trades drugs for the map. it was not an hour well spent.

and ty - i found the avatar on the interwebz a while ago and now i can't find the site again to credit it. ahh, well.

Yeah . . . sorry to break it to you, but there's another one, too. It's called Rise. It's bad, but I don't think it's quite as bad as Free Trade.
 
okay, wait...is chakotay in love with janeway? why is he being so weird about q's request to mate with janeway? "captain, i know i have no right to feel this way" etc. and wtf is that k'ehleyr as q's mate?

If you have some time to kill google janeway/chakotay/fanfiction. :D
 
Hmmm I liked Coda (7.5/10). One thing I'm learning around here is that I tend to like a lot of Trek episodes that most everyone else seems to hate. Interesting.

The worst eps of season 3 for me were Warlord and Flashback. Other than those I thought S3 was fairly consistently good.

Go back to season 2, and rewatch "Resolutions".

Hint. It "wasn't" an ancient legend. ;-)

I thought Fair Trade was pretty good, myself. A very rare good Neelix ep...well, if you didn't like that, you probably won't like any other ep about him.

But everything after Fortunate Son is pretty darn solid, I think. Especially the season finale. You're in for a real treat.

I've got to agree with RyuRoots on this one, I enjoyed Fair Trade. Neelix was an odd character because he was very annoying, but when episodes focused on him they tended to be enjoyable.

It's from the Uncyclopedia Voyager entry, although that website might have taken it from somewhere else. I don't know how I remember it came from that website, my mind just soaks up pointless Trek trivia in case the world ever depends on it some day.

It will depend on it some day.

i bow to your mad recall abilities, sir.

Hmmm. I stand by my griping about Fair Trade and Rise. I simply didn't enjoy them. I'll admit, though, that Fair Trade did address one interesting point about Neelix - his growing feeling of uselessness aboard the ship.

As for Rise, well, I liked that old movie "Flight of the Phoenix", so the nod there was cute.

Can't think of anything else nice to say about those episodes right now, but I do hereby offer for the record: I've now seen six consecutive episodes in which Neelix did not annoy me. Granted, I only realized yesterday that he hasn't had more than a few minutes screen time in any of them, but I'm takin' what I can get here.

Thanks for the link, God Ben. I am glad to know that when the safety of the world is dependent on Trek trivia, we will have you fighting on our side. :bolian:

Hey, cool, if you look at the Brady Bunch pic on the Uncylopedia site, you can still see Alice's face in the middle. I find that amusing.
 
okay so...just finished up season 3. does kes have a chia head or did her temporal flux skip her forward some time? the last episode i saw kes in she had the short pixie do, then in the temporal flux episode BAM, glamazon hair.

i don't have an in-story reason other than the two episodes in question didn't occur in-time close to one another.

however, behind the scenes jennifer lien's ears were having a horrible reaction to the prosthetic glue and they let her wear her hair down to cover up her lack of ear prostheses.

ahh, i love that you guys have answers to these questions. i always think that i'm missing something when these weird blips happen - glad to know that's not the case!
 
When her hair changed, I had a brief conversation with my penis.

My penis said "Hey, who's that?" I replied "Shut up, I'm busy watching Voyager, I haven't seen this one before." My penis got grumpy: "I said WHO'S THAT!?" Feeling the need to give in to my members probe, I answered the question "That's Kes." My penis laughed at me that I would think that it would fall for such a badly constructed joke "Dude, that's not Kes." My penis is an impudent tyke with a mind of it's own who gladly finds new reasons all the time not to take my best advice or disbelieve in my most cherished assumptions, my penis could easily be my wife but that's another story... "I assure you young man that that is indeedy diddly diddly Kes." My penis really started getting in my face about this "new girl" "Kes is a BOY! That's a beautiful woman, a very beautiful woman, it's ridiculous to assume that some idiot is going to spend 3 years hiding a beautiful woman underneath a little boy costume and little boy wig when they could be giving my the usual reason to rub up against the TV set." I thought that the truth had pointed to itself but my penis hardly ever points to the truth "that's exactly what happened!" I tell my little general, to which it makes the only feasible reply when such a fantastical steamer is presented as lunch for our minds constitution "Bullshit" and then it continued "There is no way Berman would deny me looking at THAT, my gods, look at that, for the last thousand odd days, hell I don't even care about the other new girl with the ridiculous sweater puppies, because... Are you sure that that is Kes?" Short of tapping it with a cold spoon, it's hard to knock this dimbulbs opinions off kilter or in-line at the best of times "I'm totally positive, just just ride with it." it's then that I think my penis finally accepted the new world order that Kes is the most beautiful woman on Voyager "She's an Angel." "Truth" I reply. And then my penis had the last word, because penises always have the last word "My opinion on the hedgehog has certainly been raised to something above emergency combat rations, if he kept that happy for a couple years.".
