Star Trek: Voyager Season 6: Difference between revisions

[[Star Trek: Voyager Season 5]]

601: '''Equinox Part II''' ''[[1999]] [[September 22]]''

So the Doctor deleted the Equinox EMH.  Especially from his perspective, wasn't that a pretty casual murder?

602: '''Survival Instinct''' ''[[1999]] [[September 29]]''

One of Seven's fellow drones was from the Excalibur, best known from the New Frontier books.

603: '''Barge of the Dead''' ''[[1999]] [[October 6]]''

I also like how part of Torres's conception of hell is an eternity on Voyager.  Not even she's a fan of the show.

604: '''Tinker, Tenor, Doctor, Spy''' ''[[1999]] [[October 13]]''

The ECH animation with four pips popping out was pretty haha.

605: '''Alice''' ''[[1999]] [[October 20]]''

I knew the trader sounded familiar.  Indeed he was also [[Star Trek: Enterprise|Enterprise]]'s Silik.

606: '''Riddles''' ''[[1999]] [[November 3]]''

So at the end Tuvok seems especially unthankful.  Not even a "''Thank you, Mr. Neelix, for the time and effort expended to assist me during my difficulties.''"  But I guess it's understandable; beneath that stoic exterior he's probably quite embarrassed about the whole thing.

607: '''Dragon's Teeth''' ''[[1999]] [[November 10]]''

(First watched 2009-06-23)  So this newly reborn group of a few hundred people decide to get back to prominence by force, decide their technology is too out of date to do it... and decide they can do it with Voyager.  Problem 1, Voyager still can't fight an entire war by itself.  Problem 2, if Voyager WAS that hot, why would they have been able to stop it with their fleet of ships they already decided wasn't good enough?

608: '''One Small Step''' ''[[1999]] [[November 17]]''

Soooo... Seven recovered the astronaut's body, and then they just shoot it into space.  As long as he's going to have a space burial, wouldn't it have been more appropriate to just leave him with his craft in the anomaly he spent his last days studying?

609: '''The Voyager Conspiracy''' ''[[1999]] [[November 24]]''

So they cut another three years travel time off.  Must be down to about 30 years now?

610: '''Pathfinder''' ''[[1999]] [[December 1]]''

So along with the obvious TNG connection with Barclay and Troi, I notice Barclay also makes mention of DS9.

611: '''Fair Haven''' ''[[2000]] [[January 12]]''

I've said before that Voyager deals with artificial life pretty well, but this episode reminds me that there are some things they just won't or can't get too deep into.  Everyone seems to accept the Doctor as a proper sentient being by this point, but they don't see the similar holodeck characters in the same way.  Is it something about the complexity of his program?  That he's been going on so long that he's evolved from his beginnings?  If Fair Haven had been left running long enough (like Vic's at Deep Space 9), would those characters be afforded the same benefit of the doubt?  Such that erasing a man's wife and making him more your type would be seen as grossly wrong?

612: '''Blink of an Eye''' ''[[2000]] [[January 19]]''

So the Doctor spent several years on the planet, got quite engrossed in the culture... and even had a son?  Wow.  Wow wow wow.

613: '''Virtuoso''' ''[[2000]] [[January 26]]''

It just feels like this episode and the last should've been in the opposite order. Then Blink of an Eye's Doctor story could've been seen as his chance to fulfill desires expressed in this episode.

614: '''Memorial''' ''[[2000]] [[February 2]]''

(First watched 2009-06-27)  DS9 has covered post-trauma before, but here we get a faker, technobabble-caused version.

615: '''Tsunkatse''' ''[[2000]] [[February 9]]''

Some interesting guest stars in this episode.  [[Dwayne Johnson]] essentially plays himself.  Or at least a version of his wrestling persona, if it were an enslaved alien with a funny forehead.  Then there are regular DS9 guest stars [[Jeffrey Combs]] playing not-Weyoun and [[J.G. Hertzler]] playing not-Martok.

616: '''Collective''' ''[[2000]] [[February 16]]''

I notice the lame version of "futile" seems to be the norm in this episode. I wonder if this is permanent?

617: '''Spirit Folk''' ''[[2000]] [[February 23]]''

Also, destruction of the holodeck control panel disables safety protocols? Doesn't seem a very secure place to store all the important stuff.

618: '''Ashes to Ashes''' ''[[2000]] [[March 1]]''

That aside, the idea of a species that "procreates" by reanimating/transforming the dead of other species is an interesting one.

619: '''Child's Play''' ''[[2000]] [[March 8]]''

Also Romo Lampkin.

620: '''Good Shepherd''' ''[[2000]] [[March 15]]''

(First watched 2009-06-29)  The ''concept'' of this episode wasn't bad.  Dealing with people who normally wouldn't have stayed on Voyager for so long is something you'd expect to crop up more often.

621: '''Live Fast and Prosper''' ''[[2000]] [[April 19]]''

Also psoriasis.

622: '''Muse''' ''[[2000]] [[April 26]]''

Obviously this is supposed to be quite self-referential, with the playwright both being a bit of a hack but also trying to have an influence on the world with the message of his play.

623: '''Fury''' ''[[2000]] [[May 3]]''

Weird that Naomi Wildman's mom never seems to appear on the series, buuut they have her appear again in a time before her daughter was even born.

624: '''Life Line''' ''[[2000]] [[May 10]]''

That damned talking iguana only had a few lines, but their unexpectedness had me laughing.

625: '''The Haunting of Deck Twelve''' ''[[2000]] [[May 17]]''

It's possible, I guess, that he was just making most of it up... but it seemed to jive with the facts and the happenings after he left the room.  And even if fake, it still wouldn't explain why things were going on that they never bothered telling the Borg children about ahead of time.

626: '''Unimatrix Zero Part I''' ''[[2000]] [[May 24]]''

So at the end we see Drone Tuvok, Drone Torres, and Drone Janeway.  I guess they had to try to one-up the reveal of Picard as Locutus in [[Star Trek: The Next Generation Season 3|TNG's season 3 finale]].

[[Star Trek: Voyager Season 7]]
