You know Voyager too much when...

When you create a Gibbs's Rules-style topic entitled "Janeway's Rules".

Of course, no one here did anything like that... did they?
 
When you want to put Leola root in everything you cook.

When one day you complain about having a small amount of something, but the next day use it a lot like you have an endless supply.

Everything is "some kind of".

Yes! Yes! Yes!
That often happens to me.
But hard to find Leola Root on this planet!

When things go south on the Xbox and you constantly hit reset.

When you set the reheat on the microwave to 47 seconds every time.
It happened some days ago. I played a hockey game on my computer (still uses that for games), played a great game, had a 2-1 lead and in the last two minutes, the opponents scored two goals and won 3-2, the last goal was more and less an own goal from one of my defenders.

I just couldn't stand it, I went into my "Voyager mode", hit the reset button, replayed the game and won 5-2.

I would have loved to see that on Voyager.
Plus the comment from Janeway: "My ship! My rules!"
And a slap on the head on Paris from time to time! :lol:

Honestly, the NCIS team do have some similarities to the Voyager team.

Not Gibbs! He's more a captain Kirk-type.

But some of the others:
DiNozzo-Paris
Ziva-Torres
McGee-Kim
Abby-Kes
Ducky-The Doctor

Maybe it was such sub-conscious thoughts which made me take such an immediate liking to NCIS as I did to Voyager some years before that.

when you think every problem can be solved by 'triangulating the matrix by use of a recursive algorithm' or 'inverting the shield harmonics', or emitting /shielding from plottronic particles.
(Granted, this happened on other series too, but Voyager seemed to do it slightly more).
 
When you say "there's coffee in that nebula" while looking at an office breakroom... and you actually don't like coffee.

When you ask someone if they understood what you just said, you say, "Fathom?"
 
Or you asked them if they "glimpsed" the person you're looking for.

And when you find who you're looking for, you smile and say, "You are brightly greeted!"

At work, I actually start every email I write with "Greetings, (person or group)". My boss at my previous job used to joke saying it made him think I'm saying 'Greetings, Earthlings'. He was more right than he thought.

There's a General Hospital character, Damian Spinelli, whose way of saying "hi" was actually, "Gracious greetings, _______." I never said those words out loud, but they did go through my mind on a few occasions.
 
I use it sometimes as well, but I got it from "WarGames". As in "Greetings, Professor Falken."
