[Year of Hell would have been a wonderfully written episode if the writers offered some explanation to why the knowledge of the temporal shield variance that they gained from Kes in a previous episode was completely ignored/forgotten. Seriously, what happened? Is the “Before and After” episode non-canon?]

It’s worse than that. Not only did she give them said chronoton counter-incantation, she explicitly told them to stay the fuck away from the Krenim.

This has bothered me for a very long time.

(I like the “every mid-late episode of Voyager takes place in a different alternate universe” headcanon, but while it definitely helps against the continuity pain, it’s not 100% effective.)

As long as the character is smart and is well written- That’s why I didn’t have a problem with Seven of Nine’s skin tight suit on Voyager that a lot of people had a hard time with, because the character was not that. The character was the antithesis of what that physical appearance was. So for me if she was a ditz and she was portrayed like that then yea, that is incredibly gratuitous to me. But I don’t want half nudity, that to me no, that is gratuitous no matter what. There are very few reasons that I could see in a story that make nudity a necessity. But, skimpy costumes or tight costumes or showing your body and being sexy in that way as long as the character is smart and strong and a good portrayal of a woman, then I don’t necessarily have a problem with it.

You know, I was a teenage boy in 1997 (barely) and I began watching “Voyager” because of the introduction of Seven of Nine.

But it was not because of boobs or an outfit.

No, because when they first added her, it was the concept of a Borg on board Voyager.

A freaking Borg drone! On the ship! All the time!

This was 8 months after “First Contact” had come out and totally enthralled me and swept me full well into being a fan of 24th century Trek. I was barely just dipping my big toe into things and I hear Voyager’s adding a Borg drone crewmember. Woah.

I remember talking with the only geeky friend in school I had about it. I remember taking in the issue of TVGuide to school to show him, with the first photos of the Borgified (no catsuit in sight) Jeri Ryan. The whole concept was just so brilliant and daring, in our 12-year-old opinions.

I remember being disappointed when I saw “The Gift” and how she was being de-Borged.

And while yes, I have to admit there was obviously some sexual appeal once all was said and done, I to this day still wish they had left her fully Borg for at least that first year. Gradually reducing the Borg tech maybe? But not just wham-bam, one episode and she’s a human with one or two remaining vestiges of drone left.

#Star Trek #Voyager #pretty much #there was a lot of wasted potential in making her so human so quickly #that isn’t about sex appeal #(though tbqh I think she lost all her sex appeal when she stopped threatening to assimilate people) #(and I frequently forget that human!Seven is even supposed to be sexy) #(but apart from that it was still a mistake)

– Vulcan, Alberta –

  Vulcan is just about an hour south of Calgary  The town was named in 1915 after the roman god of fire, and the original streets were named after various roman deities. Somewhere along the way, somebody in the community made the Star Trek connection, and the local tourism board ran with it, in a big way. 

  Aside from the Trek themed tourism information building, the street signs are all Trek themed, the county admin building has trek themed signage, there is a Trek museum, and murals depicting Star Trek characters all over town. There is an annual Star Trek convention called Spock Days.

[The Voyager writers seem to have issues about being lied to about the afterlife.]

I think this could probably stop at “The Voyager writers seem to have issues”…
