I never watched Voyager from the start, only caught a few episodes here and there, so I’ve been doing a full watch-through of it and am midway through season 4. I’d already seen Threshold prior to this and figured that was the nadir of the show, but there have been so many bad moments beyond that already.

Like, Janeway makes a clearly bad deal with the Borg, the writers know it because they give Chakotay this huge beat about why it’s such a damn bad idea, yet in the end its played off as a “Janeway was right” without any manner of consequence.
FUCKING TUVIX, an episode that could be fantastic Trek, until the last moments when once again this megalomaniacal hard-nosed captain turns it into a big pile of “what the fuck!?!”
There’s this episode where they visit a planet of telepaths that have thought-crime, and at first Janeway works with their local laws like a good starfleet officer would, all whilst trying to find a solution to save Torres from being lobotomized. Once they reach an impasse and the thought-sheriff decides to damage Torres brain, and despite her knowing Torres isn’t responsible, Janeway is suddenly all “oh well, nothing I can do.” Like, I don’t expect her to go all nuts deep like Kirk would to save his crew, but she did not at all have her crews back on this one, and seemingly only ever has their backs when she “feels” like it.

Janeway is the anti-Picard. She’s so awful at promoting the core values of Starfleet that of course they would make her an admiral.

obligatory: Janeway 👏 is 👏 the 👏 villain 👏

Tuckers Law · « **Reply #2042 on:** August 21, 2019, 06:36:44 PM »

Okay, just watched the one where a hirogen and species super-8 are on the ship, and to save the ship Seven disobeys Janeways orders, and then takes a massive verbal-shit on Janeway about it. I wasn’t too keen about Seven at first, but she’s starting to grow on me.

Now I can’t wait for the show to later nonsensically turn things around and make it out as Janeway somehow being in the right there.

Don't you DARE make me interested in Voyager! It's the one Trek series I've nearly entirely evaded.

The thing that annoys me is Mulgrew is a really good actor, I feel like she would portray an excellent starfleet captain probably the equal of Kirk/Picard/Sisko, if only the writing of the character was there.

Voyager did pretty much go off the rails with 7 though, where basically every plot was about 7, and she was the cause of or solution to the Problem Of The Week

Ah, I was wondering if Jeffrey Combs would show up in Voyager, or if even he smelled it’s taint all the way back in Deep Space Nine and refused.

Edit: And now The Rock shows up, this is wild.

He only ever had one kidney, it failed a few years back, and I assume it did again but it was too much this time.

Considering his role on the show it's kinda surprising when you realize he was 50!

It seems like a bad comedy routine. The guy in it is the guy from Bob's Burgers, an animated show that's endearing without being funny.

Quote

Paramount Pictures is in final talks with Noah Hawley to write and direct a Star Trek film. Through his 26 Keys production banner he will produce along with JJ Abrams and his Bad Robot banner. I don’t have too much more to report on the film, but my understanding is Hawley will helm the fourth film in this iteration of the venerable franchise, with the Enterprise crew led by Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Zoe Saldana, Simon Pegg and Karl Urban.

In addition to his groundbreaking series Legion, Hawley serves as executive producer, writer, director and showrunner on FX’s Emmy-winning limited series Fargo.

Quote

The studio separately is working on a Star Trek spinoff that Quentin Tarantino is eyeing to direct and has been working on with Abrams. This one would likely carry an R rating, with a screenplay by The Revenant scribe Mark L. Smith.

I'd actually really like a noah hawley star trek tbh. Legion and Fargo are both way more cerebral than they ever needed to be.
It'd be more likely to have, you know, character driven drama and reflections on why they're doing what they're doing.

And less, you know, gun fu with phasers while beastie boys sabotage plays in the background.
