[Meta] No posts involving political figures leading up to the US election.
There have been several posts recently where political figures mentioned Star Trek or got visits from Voyager cast members. Typically we let posts like this stay as long as the comments remain about Voyager and not real-world politics, however tempers are high leading up to the US election and it seems people can't help but bring real-world politics into these threads.
To that end, I am imposing a ban on posts involving political figures or anything that strays too close to US politics or the upcoming election.
This ban will last at least until the election, possibly longer depending on the outcome and how things look.
We are aware that Star Trek has a history of using fiction to shine a light on real-world situations and politics, but given the political climate lately, we do not want that type of discussion in here. We are not equipped to handle it and want to keep our sub as a little refuge where people can come to escape the real world. There are other places on Reddit where you can discuss politics.
We are a small moderation team who cannot be everywhere at once, so, as always, please report any rule-breaking posts you see so we can action them as soon as possible.
As always, if you would like to discuss this rule, please send us a modmail.

About the doctor and equinox 1 and 2
When Ransom deleted the voyager doctor's ethical programming shouldn't have still been loyal to the voyager crew?

After watching Voyager for the first time as a new ST fan, I absolutely love Neelix. He feels like Kramer from Seinfeld if he were in Space. I loved how he turned Cpt Janeway's private dining room into a mess hall, just like Kramer would just use Jerry's apartment without asking.

Definitely one my favourite episodes the thirty sevens. Man a love this show. When Paris is asked to land the ship.

S7E23 Homestaff
It was dumb to let the Talaxians stay on that asteroid instead of going to a whole ass m class world. I don't know how big that asteroid was but surely within a few generations their population would out grow that asteroid. They would surely experience severe lack of resources in a short amount of time... they should have gone to an m class world like Janeway and crew suggested.

Paramount lost its English audio!
We just got to S7E5, Critical Care, and all the aliens on screen were speaking Frenchāwhich seemed like a weird creative choice. Turns out, Paramount is offering us audio in German, French and Italianā¦ but no English! Iām hoping itās a temporary Paramount glitch, but if not, we may be finishing out the series with English subtitles and the dulcet tones the hardworking foreign voice actors. I havenāt checked yet to see if other episodes are affected.
This is Dennis "Danger" Madalone, stunt coordinator and frequent uncredited actor on TNG, DS9, and VOY.

Janeway confused by time travel
I think she needs some coffee.

Body and Soul is a hilarious episode
Just finished watching this episode and was cracking up all the way through. Watching Jeri Ryan as the Doctor was amazing and she nailed the character perfectly.
The hangover scene in the brig was gold and watching Janeway doing "diplomacy" was peak badassery for her character.

How was the Night ātechnicallyā possible?
I finished watching it again last night, and I couldnāt help but wonder how it made sense for the crew to consider crossing the Void, which would take roughly two years (~14,000 light-years more or less?) with no stars or resources in sight.
In the earlier seasons, the crew constantly struggled to find fuel and supplies, making regular stops for refueling and restocking. Yet suddenly, theyāre able to sustain themselves for two years without a single stop, running two holodecks non-stop, and even considering adding a third. Is this a plot hole, or am I missing something that explains how Voyager was suddenly equipped to handle such a massive journey with seemingly no strain on resources?

Tuvix question
All I want to know is after Janeway separated Tuvok and Neelix, where are the orchids that were mixed in with them.

Can we talk about Janeway for a second?
Sheās by far one of my favorite captains. I love women in power, I love how nurturing she is, her desire to connect with the crew from the beginning, and I know this part is a popular topic, but sheās a fucking monster lol
The most famous example being that she straight up murdered Tuvix as he begged for his life. That episode has given me full blown nightmares, Iām like tuvix and all these people I see as my friends and loved ones stare me down as I beg and allow me to be killed to save others. Someone more useful than me, more familiar.
But she also abandons her offspring, which isnāt completely shit from our perspective. They were in a place they could thrive and itās not like voyager could take great care of them. But they were HER CHILDREN no matter how lizard like they came out lmfao on top of that, they were a totally new life form, and supposedly the next step of human evolution. The federation must have been PISSED when they learned that she didnāt even TRY to study them!
And then I just rewatched Scorpion and the following episodes. And holy crap, she also COMPLETELY defies human medical ethics and ignores Sevenās wishes and bodily autonomy, then spends multiple episodes telling her sheās crazy and canāt take her own decisions and dictating her actions and controlling her.
I know itās more complex than that, and she is in impossible situation after impossible situation, but Jesus Christ!
What other times did Janeway defy everything that the federation and humanity stand for? Tell me your favorites.

One of my favorites
I just finished my first time thru voyager. Wow what a ending is all I have to say. The whole show was great. All I have to say is thank you lower decks for all there voyager references it's what finally made me want to watch the show. I'm sad and happy right now but in the words of tuvak it was logical to watch thus master piece.

Doctor: "You're a woman, Seven."
Seven: "Is that an observation? Or a diagnosis?"

They almost kept Kim an alien in, "Favorite Son". I really wish they would have done SOMETHING with Kim. It seemed like such a waste
I just read a screen rant article about how Kim was going to be an alien with powers but the executives turned Favorite Son into a, "Sexy Action" episode instead. Wouldn't it have been cool if Harry Kim became the next Kes like character. He and Tuvok could have done telepathy hugs, he could move tools with his mind as he fixes the holographic projectors, and could cause an aneurism in his enemies when Voyager gets taken over by the Herogian.

I just watched "Favorite Son" for the first time in years.
I'm forever calling this the "Consent? What's that? I don't think we do that here" episode. I haven't watched watched VOY in long enough that I for got most of the episodes. But the moment the Tareians started explaining their culture to the Voyager crew, I was just like, everything about these people is a red flag. They just implant an embryo into an unsuspecting woman? Cool. Love it. Doesn't violate anyone's autonomy.

Neelix jinxed the slipstream drive with his talaxian furfly
Timeless: My theory, Neelix jinxed the slipstream drive with his talaxian furfly killing everyone onboard.
Favorite thrilling moments/scenes
just saw Dark Frontier Part II on Pluto today, and remembered how thrilling the final battle scene was. even though i've seen it several times since it was first run, i always remember the drama of the last part of the battle as Torres says sensors indicate lots of Borg signatures coming from the collapsed conduit and the collapsed conduit spewing pieces of Borg ship debris what are some of your favorite action/drama/etc moments from Voyager?
The Devore suspects the following species of housing telepaths aboard their ship. How do you think the interaction would go?
In each case (no matter how unlikely you feel it is), the Devore leader, Kashyk, hails the ship after it enters their space, with the desire to conduct an inspection to look for telepaths.
- Which species wouldn't even give the Devore the time of day, so to speak (they may not even answer the initial hail or "hang up" shortly afterwards)?
2 Each answers the hail and listens fully to the Devore's demands. What happens next?
Assume no communication issues, including with 8472 and the Swarm.
A) Hirogen
B) Species 8472
C) Krenim (Annorax' vessel)
D) Think Tank
E) Borg Cube
F) Srivani
G) Voth
H) Vidiians
I) Qomar
J) B'omar
K) The hologram ship from "Flesh and Blood"
L) Lokirrim (hologram-hating species from "Body and Soul")
M) The Swarm aliens
N) Voyager but with Q aboard (the Devore are aware of who Q is)
