I've just started a rewatch of Voyager..... Yay

[Gingerbread Demon]

It has been literal years since I did a full end to end rewatch. I just loaded up "The Caretaker" and oh my it's funny. Aliens must love country yokels because when the alien array beams over the crew of Voyager the first thing it creates is a farm of country yokels. Aliens must love them.

It's actually not a bad premier episode for a series, a bit predictable here and there but it's still fun.

I did like Janeway when her hair was messed up after they first arrived, she looked kinda hot with hair hair hanging off to the side. ... Anyway yeah it's a good first episode just like it was back in 1995.

I remember a time where I'd only watch TNG but one day i came acros voyager and DS9 at the same time and I really got into both yet i had more leverage on voayger then DS9. In order TNG Voyager DS9.

Like for example; an episode i came across was pathfinder which had app by Barcley and Troi which surprised me. Picard makes a cameo on an episode i forget which really blew me away so I recommend Voyager to anybody; fun.

Picard never appeared on Voyager. His only non-TNG appearance back in the day was in Deep Space Nine's pilot.

Riker had a cameo in a Q episode, is that what you're thinking of?

Today I just did "The 37s"

Just got to this episode in my rewatch and I did wonder, what if some of the crew decided to stay on the planet where they found Amelia Earhart? I often did wonder why some of them didn't do that. They could have even had that world as a kind of outpost to hop back to in later seasons but didn't.

It's a neat episode that like much of Voyager opens up a lot of really neat ideas but they just reset over them and forget they ever happened.

That sounds familiar yeah thank you for clearing that up for me... I think i somewhat remember riker appearing as a cameo.

 

[Gingerbread Demon]

Also it's kind of hokey to me and bullshit that absolutely no one wanted to stay behind on the planet.

 

[Akiraprise]

Not a lot of time had passed in their journey yet. A year or so? I can see not wanting to throw in the towel just yet. Now five or ten years on, after countless battles and crew loss, it might make sense for some to settle down that have had enough.

Oh I don't know. If it were me I'd be very tempted and probably would. It's other people, other fellow humans. I'd almost certainly have stayed.

 

[Ray Hardgrit]

Most of the crew were Starfleet officers who chose to leave their worlds to live a life in space doing incredibly dangerous sci-fi things, the rest were people who loved their homes enough to fight an overwhelmingly powerful force to protect them (instead of just moving somewhere safer), so I can buy it.

Sure we know from episodes like Good Shepherd that not everyone on the crew is really into a lifestyle of constant space adventure, but anyone tempted by the idea of permanently exiling themselves to an alien world on the opposite side of the galaxy had reason to reconsider when all their friends and everyone they relied on decided they were going to fly off without them.

I just read a story online that said the opening episode of season 2 should have been at the end of season 1 but in some countries it was changed. Im wondering if that's true but can't find any evidence either way to confirm or deny the story.

 

[Ray Hardgrit]

They apparently chose to hold four episodes of season 1 back for the US airing so that season 2 could have an early start. Here in Britain we got the episodes in production order instead, with The 37s being the season 1 finale and season 2 beginning with Initiations.

I think it would have been better that way.

The 37s feels like a season ending kind of episode to me

Riker managed to get into all Berman-Era series (TNG, DS9, VOY, and even ENT). Not sure about the newer series.

Just not in TOS and TAS, but I think those series should have him edited in digitally, as well. (just joking, of course).

As far as VOY goes, Riker appeared in Deathwish (S2E18), if I'm not mistaken.

 

[Gingerbread Demon]

So I finally made it to THAT episode......... You know the one with the lizard babies

OK I just watched "Threshold" you know, I've never watched the whole thing in full so yeah that was pretty wild. Makeup effects were good, really good for a Trek episode. Silly story though. And just like that they were human again. OK whatever.......

 

[Ray Hardgrit]

The EMH destroyed all the mutant DNA with anti-protons, so of course they'd naturally transform into an entirely different species overnight.

If I ever become Star Trek's overlord, first thing I'm doing is banning the word 'DNA' from scripts.

It's pretty damn wild that Federation science can do the stuff it can do. It can change you back from one species to another all with magical radiation bursts.

 

[DonIago]

Didn't Doctor Crusher once manage to cause everyone on the ship to mutate by virtue of a hypospray to a single individual?

I think I first need to learn how to get that annoying pan flute music going in my visions. Haven't even managed that yet.
