What one thing do you love about Voyager today?

I like a lot of the things mentioned, but I really loved the B'elanna and Paris relationship. It might have got sidelined a bit later on, but the pay-off in Season 7, and the character growth for both of them was great.
 
Neat idea for a thread. Bravo!

The one thing I love about Voyager, that immediately sprang to mind, is the characters. I think I love all of them. Ultimately they are the reason why I watch a show. And I definitely loved this group of actors and the characters they portrayed.

I love that the Voyager crew feels like a family. I me that vibe.

This team of people really did feel like a family on screen. Perhaps that was the goal of the premise - stranded alone far from home space -it certainly worked for me!

I liked the "it takes a village" approach that the crew took for Naomi when her mother died. It really made me like Neelix a lot more too.
 
I love the family atmosphere; the relationships between Tom & Harry, Tom & B'Elanna, Harry & B'Elanna, Seven & The Doc, Tom & The Doc, Harry & Chakotay... I loved the show in general, even if my top favorite episodes of televised trek aren't a Voyager majority.

And of course, Captain/Admiral Janeway. Probably my favorite captain in all of Trek :)

I would like to add Tom and his never-ending wit, Q and his various attempts to woo Janeway, and the little bundle of adorable-ness that is Naomi Wildman.
 
I definitely love the opening theme, but I felt it didn't really fit as well with later seasons. I would have liked to see it updated as the show went on.

Unrelated to my love for Voyager, I really do think it has the best theme song in all of Trek. It's close with DS9, but the melody is a bit more catchy and stronger. Love it!! :bolian:

Unless I missed something, Samantha didn't actually die, though she did disappear. No, I would have to say that for me it was Briefings with Neelix. It combined the frothiness of Regis and Kathy Lee with the hard-hitting investigative topicality of O'Reilly vintage Inside Edition. :techman:
 
I will agree Voyager easily had the best opening theme.

Whatever my criticisms of the show are, it did carry the torch of Roddenberrian ideals and those of freedom and individualism. Seven is a symbol of respect for individual freedom, take a person raised in a fascist regime and give them the chance to become an individual. I love that about Voyager.

Apparently Samantha Wildman got better. Memory Alpha says that she was mentioned several times as being alive after her last chronological appearance in "Once Upon a Time", and is mentioned in the novel "Homecoming" as returning to the Alpha Quadrant with everyone else. Her scenes in "Fury" (which I've only seen once) apparently are set 5 years earlier in the timeline.
 
Yeah, Naomi doesn't lose her mother. But in all honesty, Neelix and Seven were more like parents to her than her own mom. At least from what they show on-screen lol. :lol:
 
I was watching "Mortal Coil" again the other day, and Neelix really does fill the father figure role for her, chasing imaginary monsters out of the bedroom. And Naomi is important enough to him to keep him from committing suicide.
 
^^True!

^Doing a slow re-watch with the hubs, this was one of my fav episodes. Can't wait to see it again!

The talking potatoes.

I missed those, or are you talking about Sontaarans?

Wow, missed that too! Thanks for the correction! I've been reading the books too, so that was a double whiff!
 
Samantha Wildman doesn't die, the producers just didn't want to pay the actress every time they wanted to use Naomi.

I would have liked them to focus a little more explicitly on the 'It takes a village' thing. Like maybe have a 'Naomi's Day' style episode where you see who is taking care of her when Samantha is on duty, how the crew shares the load and reacts to her. And how she perceives Voyager as the only home she knows. (That's touched on in the pitcher plant episode).
