1. Harry is introduced in a similar way to how Data was introduced: the naive, young, inexperienced crew member trying to do something simple (Data - whistling, Harry - getting a drink at Quark’s) and being found by the older, more experienced crew member (Data - Riker, Harry - Tom Paris) who helps them.
2. Both Harry and Data lack social skills.
3. Both Harry and Data had a “special relationship” with an intoxicated woman.
4. Harry is able to perform complex calculations very quickly and he has such endurance that he single-handedly kept the ship running…I don’t want to spoil it, but if you know, you know.
5. Harry dutifully accepts being passed over for promotion, similar to how Data did in TNG when Riker promotes Shelby to his Number One.

Thank you advisory panel for your consideration. I welcome your critiques.

Hi, I have seen enough episodes to know all the main characters. I would guess I have likely only seen maybe 15 or 20% of the episodes. I REALLY enjoyed Endgame. One thing I feel about the series is some episodes really bore me. Some were downright dumb. Then there are a few that are very interesting. I got the Paramount thing for a bit. Please tell me your opinion on the which episodes are the best ones in your opinion. Thanks 😊

There are so many possibilities. We could have seen how a Vulcan deals with the trauma of assimilation. We hear a lot about losing and regaining one's humanity, but what would it mean to lose one's "Vulcanity?" The Borg are meant to be everything Humans are not, but they're also kind of a Vulcan ideal: perfectly logical, perfectly ordered and perfectly efficient. Everything Vulcans strive to be. How would a Vulcan deal with achieving that and then having it torn away?

There's also the possibility of Seven counseling him. She could have become his mentor, an inversion of the relationship he had with Kes

It's a corny question, I know. I just bought a photo-op ticket for a con this summer and now I'm really scared. They say "Never meet your heros" and Captain Janeway has been my biggest hero since childhood. I think I would be crushed if it's going to be an uncomfortable situation. What's your experiences?

Update:

I love how everyone only has nice things to say about her. My anxiety is gone and I'm very much looking forward to the experience now. Thank you all so much! ❤️❤️❤️

The Doctor to Seven of Nine (S05E22):

"It's as if you've become a part of my program. When we're apart, I feel like I'm missing a subroutine."

That totally needs to be on a Hallmark card! 😂

I can't remember if it ever gets directly shown. The Doctor can definitely injure people while using the emitter ("Darkling") but the safeties could have just been turned off at the time.

Just another of the long list of rude things seven does and receives no consequences. Yes I know she was supposed to be dying in this episode but it’s normal healthy behavior for her.

Why is the docs program not locked the fuck down after the first…second…third…time that his program is messed with!?

I’d like to make a poll in this group and ask this question but before doing so I would like to get some input so I know which options to put in the poll, obviously, The Thaw but I’m specifically looking for unbearable, not necessarily the “worst” episode by one definition or another, but specifically “most unbearable to watch”

I always thought Seska was such a great villain in Voyager and to see her in this random episode of NCIS “Caged” was such a surprise. I didn’t immediately recognize her in appearance but same exact voice and the character she plays in this episode is also that of a villain. I was thinking…Seska?!

After searching, I didn’t realize other Voyager actors (Tim Russ and Robert Picardo) also guest star on NCIS.

So, I've been rewatching Voyager after like 20 years, and am enjoying it. Seven of Nine appears to be much funnier than I remember her being. Her occasional dry barbs are hilarious, though it seems that her character doesn't even realize she's being funny. (Example: Tom and B'Elanna's wedding. Seven says something to the effect of, "Given the tumultuous nature of their relationship, I would have expected homicide rather than nuptials.")

But beyond that, I'm also appreciating more than before the truly excellent acting job that Jeri Ryan did. Really superb. She brings a depth to the character that a less actor wouldn't have been able to do. Really enjoyable to see her performances. (Her, Mulgrew, and Picardo are, in my opinion, the three actors who made Voyager great. (Tim Russ comes close, and was also great, but not as great as those three.) The rest of the actors were, in my opinion, pretty mediocre, unfortunately (except for Scarlett Pomers, who played Naomi Wildman. She was also great. But she was a minor character).

Anyway, just wanted to share my newfound appreciation for Jeri Ryan and what a great job she does with the character of Seven of Nine, as well as the character itself.

Speaking of which, I came across this video, which some of you may have seen, and I learned some really interesting things about Seven of Nine.

For example, did you know that Seven of Nine was inspired in part by Catwoman in the old Batman TV series (can really see the similarities in the catsuits)? But also she was inspired by an unknown sitcom from 1964 called "My Living Doll," which involved an android trying to act like a human. The android's designation was "AF709."

Video also mentioned that Seven of Nine has become a symbol of hope for ex-cultists, who struggle with living as an individual after being absorbed by the cult and having their individuality taken away. Her struggles give them inspiration and hope in their own journeys, which I thought was really cool.

So, just sharing some thoughts.

Oh, and just for fun, here's every time Seven of Nine says "Naomi Wildman." :-)

The doctor is supposed to be a walking talking medical database and has access to Jupiter station as well but it takes him a whole hour to figure out he’s being tricked. Zimmerman was right to be worried about the competence of the mark 1!

That's Tuvok speaking about the darkness within us all. Vulcans have nifty aphorisms like this one. Come on, Star Trek!

Those were sentient, sapient creatures like us.

Imagine if it were humans he was doing to. I'm pretty sure that's how Janeway saw it. It was no different than if he had done so to his own kind.

It was what? 80 some odd critters he killed? Change that to 80+ humans he kidnapped, killed, mutilated, and boiled into oil so he could use them as fuel.

They stole the shield tech, left her ship and crew to death and ruin.

They kidnapped both the Doc and 7. Then forced the Doc to disect her. Torture her. Awake and alive. What Doc did to her was violation, and a horrible one at that.

Every single state that still has the death penalty, for crimes like that? Wouldn't have hesitated to put him down. And he wouldnt get 20+ years to think about it. Same with every single branch of the military. Same for every member of the crew. Accessory to premeditated first degree murder is the same as committing the act yourself. They had a chance to come clean, to ask for amnesty, to explain and stop. They made their choice.

What he/they did was so absolutely fucked and so far beyond the pale. That wasnt about survival. Now put yourself in Janeway's shoes. Alone, in the Delta Quadrant, and this shit is happening in front of you. You have to deal with it, and this fucked up psychopath, and he's still got the fucking audacity to wear that fucking uniform!

And how many times do we hear that they are supposed to follow the laws of other species on their home worlds? No, these ones don't really have that, but they are demanding they either put down Ransom or they extradite him for their own justice. They were the ones harmed.

What if the caretaker had pulled in the Enterprise D instead of Voyager? Since it’s a Galaxy Class he pulled them in from somewhere other than the Badlands. Oh and somehow the Marquis people are on the Enterprise when they get pulled in

Is the Galaxy class better equipped to deal with being lost in the Delta Quadrant?

Does Picard blow up the array or use it to get back?

Does he get involved in the Ocampa/Kazon issue ?

Does traversing Borg space more interesting with Locutus on board in the Queens back yard?

Other than the Borg, Voth and Species 8472 who in the DQ can defeat a Galaxy class?

Behold the abomination it spawned

Every time Neelix serves a meal, the crew are shown to find it nearly inedible. On a mission where they’re stranded in the Delta Quadrant, and half comprised of Maquis, Janeway already has to deal with plenty of morale issues. Why would she create another one by allowing Neelix to serve slop all the time?

Every other episode they are walking around voyager in full hockey gear, turn of the century costumes, holding golf clubs, etc. Isn't it a massive waste of their resources to be replicating these things just to play around on the holodeck?

I'm on my first ever watch of Voyager. I'll admit that I didn't expect to enjoy it as much as I am, since I tried watching it when it first aired, but wasn't into it. I think I'm just in the mood, and it was handy, and I felt like something I haven't seen before, so Voyager it is.

I just watched the Season 2 episode "Threshold (AKA: The Salamander Episode). I will say this was not even remotely as bad as I thought it would be. In fact, it's miles better than some TNG episodes like Masks, or the de-evolution one, or Code of Honor.

There were even a few legit funny moments in the show. When Tom comes back from the Warp 10 flight and something is wrong, the Doctor says he's essentially just sleeping. Janeway tells the Doctor to wake him up and the Doc leans right into Tom's face and goes, "WAKE UP!" That really made me laugh.

I also loved it when Tom gets sick and the Doctor asks Harry if Tom ate or drank anything. He's told that it was just Neelix's coffee and the Doctor says, "Neelix's coffee? It's a miracle he's still alive."

Also at the end, when Chakotay and Tuvok find the salamander babies, Chakotay says, "I don't even know HOW I'm going to enter this into the log." Tuvok responds with "I look forward to reading it."

The episode also has Neelix actually contribute by talking to Harry, Tom and B'Elanna and he helps them to solve the Warp 10 problem. I like that in the last couple of episodes, Neelix has had more to do than be the jealous boyfriend chef. I also like that they carry on some more story threads like the engineer feeding info to the Kazon. I wish the show had more of that overarching plot, even in standalone episodes.

Finally, I thought it was really funny how Janeway kind of gives Tom the gears at the end about the babies.

Overall, I actually thought this was not a bad episode. It's middling with some really funny moments in it.
