otm, harry is nearly offensive in that regard
trying to remember how the ds9/voyager rollout went -- how much airtime did voyager even have before the maquis were all killed on ds9?
― mh π, Monday, 14 November 2016 21:00 (seven years ago) link
the Maquis were introduced in the 2nd season of DS9 and Voyager debuted the following year afaik, long before any of the big shit went down in DS9
― ciderpress, Monday, 14 November 2016 21:04 (seven years ago) link
yeah, looks like mid-season five of DS9 was when it all came to a head

also, every time chakotay's native american heritage is invoked it always seems to involve a bunch of embarrassing new age bullshit

the flutes! every time.
BTW I did not mean to indicate I like ALL of Voyager's crew/cast. Harry Kim and Tom Paris suck. B'ellana is ok sometimes but mostly dull. Chakotay is missed opportunity, I agree, but I really like his relationship with the captain.

sooo, the Doctor, Tuvok, Seven of Nine, Janeway and Neelix then?
― mh π, Monday, 14 November 2016 21:32 (seven years ago) link
doc and tuvok are the mvps to me, mainly because of the actors, both of whom are great
seven of nine is cool most of the time, janeway is written to be infallible too often but mulgrew plays her brilliantly, and neelix is a nuclear-grade irritant who should have been blasted into the frigid vacuum of space in the first episode tbh

were there multiple episodes of tuvok getting horny or am i confusing it with all the other horny vulcan episodes

And sort of Chakotay. And unlike most people I also like Kes.
I hate Neelix but in a way that I enjoy.

Star Trek wasnβt just a show; it was a whole philosophy. People donβt love Star Trek just because itβs got wacky aliens. They love it because the wacky aliens bonk each other with goofed-up widgets while a bunch of dunces in matching pajamas yammer on and on as their doors whoosh back and forth, all to make some Dr. Seuss-type point.

I still can't believe that Paramount has not done a "new next generation" type show basically picking up the Next Generation/DS 9/Voyager story 15-20 years later. They could use some of the cast from those three shows and basically go from there. It seems with the love of streaming shows a huge cast version of Star Trek would be big on line.

my wife's marathon voyager rewatch reached this episode over the weekend and jeri ryan is genuinely amazing as the doctor. reminded me a bit of anna torv's equally spot-on leonard nimoy impersonation in an episode of fringe

also, watching harry kim get humiliated over and over again is really, really painful. he's such a hapless dork - and he's still an ensign after like seven years' service!

being on voyager was a sure-fire way to kill your career prospects
if they took the full seventy years to get back, there could be an episode where nearly everyone is dead, and everyone is given senior rank on their return or made a captain, except for ensign kim
― mh π, Monday, 5 December 2016 15:22 (seven years ago) link
there would probably be some third-generation crew members outranking harry by that point
mh, in answer to your earlier question re: horny-tuvok episodes, i can now confirm that there's at least one!
tuvok starts getting the raging spacehorn and paris helps him out by teaching him to use the holodeck as a masturbatory aid - tuvok creates a holographic double of his wife he can hump without guilt, everyone lives happily ever after (apart from harry kim).
pretty sure there is another one earlier in the series but the details escape me tbh
― the criss angel's death song (bizarro gazzara), Monday, 5 December 2016 15:41 (seven years ago) link
I'm going to have to scroll up, as I definitely didn't mean to imply the existence of such an episode was in question
― mh π, Monday, 5 December 2016 15:44 (seven years ago) link
i apologise if i misunderstood!
my favourite detail from that episode was tuvok's revelation that vulcan's get hornier as they get older, which means spock-prime in the first jj abrams trek movie must have been a total fuck-machine
― the criss angel's death song (bizarro gazzara), Monday, 5 December 2016 15:50 (seven years ago) link
oh I was trying to remember if there was more than one horny Tuvok episode
I was thinking of the whole "Tuvok's ill and we're stuck far away and he has to mind meld with a Vulcan to get well" bit, maybe. Or there is another horny Tuvok episode.
― mh π, Monday, 5 December 2016 15:56 (seven years ago) link
wiki to the rescue:
In the Voyager episode "Blood Fever" Vulcan Ensign Vorik experiences pon farr and attempts to mate with B'Elanna Torres. Due to a partial empathic bond, Torres experiences pon farr as well. Vorik attempts to control the pon farr through meditation, drugs and a holodeck mate, while Torres, trapped on an away mission, nearly mates with Tom Paris. The pon farr is eventually resolved when Torres and Vorik battle together in the ritual fight kunat kal-if-fee on the planet.In Voyager, Tuvok experienced pon farr while the vessel was trapped far away from any other Vulcans, and so was unable to mate with his wife. Initially he claimed that he had Tarkalean flu to the crew to spare the embarrassment of discussing his actual condition. He attempted to control the pon farr through meditation and drugs, but he was not ultimately successful until he met with his wife in a holodeck program.

glad we got to the bottom of this horny-vulcan conundrum eventually

isn't embarrassment an emotion? wouldn't the logical thing for tuvok to do just be for him to be straight-up and 'guys i gotta fuck real bad can someone help out?'

turns out DS9 is really good! i'm about halfway through season 1 and it's a very cool cast of characters with what seems like lots of possibilities for stories.
last night i watched "Progress", where Kira is tasked with removing someone from their land who would rather die than leave, and she is wrestling with this cos the same thing happened to her, and now she is on the other side of that power balance, and is torn. it was really good and felt very much like classic ST.
