Do you not see the sexist nature of the original series. After all women were running around in mini's and the word "man" is used.... :evilgrin:

P.S. I am a male and I am not complaining, just observing.

[ogradda]

18. Jadzia Dax said

[Khephra]

16. You did know there's a Science Fiction forum here, right?

[physioex]

[physioex]

[physioex]

57. Holy Moly...

There are two chicks on this thread who are Star Trek viewers. Maybe I shouldn't stereotype Star Trek for nerdy dudes who wear pocket protectors and carry slide rules......

[wickerwoman]

59. Three chicks.

And I had a Tasha Yar haircut in middle school. :-)

[ogradda]

[physioex]

50. You know....

We never did learn why Klingon foreheads changed...

[ogradda]

53. no we didn't either

and that pisses me off. there's a great storyline going to waste there...

[physioex]

56. Did you know...

That Mr. Worf was a character on CHiP's??

[ogradda]

65. yes!

that i did know!

[Neoma]

52. women of star trek

[ogradda]

55. kira nerys and kathryn janeway

damn i admire those women.

[physioex]

58. Come on....

Voyager was never a good series. I never really liked the role of Janeway and I felt there was no chemistry. I also don't like this new series Enterprise, it's total crap!!

[ogradda]

62. i don't like enterprise either

but i do like voyager. i liked deep space nine a lot until they started having all that dominium crap on all the time.

[lakemonster11]

73. I feel really ambivalent towards Voyager.

I liked a lot of the characters and the actors that played them. I also think there are some really good episodes and quite a few entertaining ones.

But overall, I felt betrayed by the lack of continuity and lack of a sense of real change over time. I felt like they started with this great premise that potentially set up all of these great conflicts and story ideas---a group of people, some of whom were Starfleet, some Maquis (and some neither) were suddenly 70 years from Earth and had to work and live together every day as they tried to get back home. But it seemed to me that they basically dropped any sense of conflict between the characters after just a few episodes and, before that, they basically depicted the strained relationships as having to do solely with lack of trust. It seems like they could have delved a bit deeper.

In fact, it seemed like every time they came up some new element that would have made a good continuing storyline, they dropped it and forgot about it. The best example I can come up with is Chakotay and Janeway's relationship. We got basically a confession of love on his part, strong intimations of the same from her---minus her moonings over her fiancee whom she apparently expected to wait 70 years for her :eyes: ---all of which could have developed to be very interesting. I mean, they were the captain and first officer, he was the Maquis commander she was sent out to find, he had sacrificed his ship for hers, they were probably never going to make it home. Instead of exploring all of these things, the writers just dropped it and in the last episode, expected us to think that Janeway wanted to save Chakotay because of her guilt about Seven of Nine being a widow? It made no sense. And no, I don't think that the writers were implying that she had another motive at all. This is just one example, but one that particularly irritates me.

Basically, what it came down to for me was that I felt like, unlike DS9 (my favorite series), Voyager was constantly on the move. Therefore, they shouldn't have been trying to imitate DS9's success by coming up with "political" or long-term story arcs that had to do with outside forces. Instead, they should have been focusing on the psychological and social problems of being on a journey home that many of them would not survive, of being a generational ship, of trying to decide whether to go home or to settle somewhere, etc. I wouldn't have minded alien-of-the-week episodes if there was something deeper and richer in this area of the show.

Anyway, rant over. :)

[physioex]

74. Rant away....

That's why we are here.... :)

[NamVetsWeeLass]

81. Ok, I will accept a rant, but you have a few things messed up....

On the final Show, Janeway went back because SEVEN was killed and Chakotay was devastated... Seven was apparently killed in an away mission that would have happened like 7 or so years later...I liked the Idea of Seven and Chakotay.... But that is just me.

[donheld]

64. OMFG they left off Deanna Troi How dare they

[ogradda]

66. my brother wants to marry her.

usually he just wants his way with them but her he wants to marry.

[physioex]

67. Naaa....

She was a weak character. The only episode she was good in was the one where she plays the part of Romulan Talshiar.

[donheld]

69. I thought she was wonderful

i loved her character

[lakemonster11]

71. She's on there.

[Ladyhawk]

76. Gotta love Majel. :D

I share the same birthday as Gene Roddenberry and Bill Clinton.

[Gothic Sponge]

68. What is this Star Trek you speak of?

:silly:

[Goathead]

72. Three words: Seven of Nine

[GoddessOfGuinness]

77. Nichelle Nichols kicked ass

The original series included women in outer space, but still playing their ho-hum subversive roles...secretary, switchboard operator, nurse, generic bimbo.

It always seemed to me that Nichols' character was the first to step away from that. She was mad as hell, and not going to take it anymore! She was sexy and tough. She'd seen it all and maintained her sense of humor in spite of it. She was a true heroine.

[lakemonster11]

78. Have you ever heard Nichelle Nichols talk about

when she wanted to leave Star Trek after the first season, but was talked out of it by Dr. Martin Luther King? It's amazing.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

86. I didn't know that...

What did he say that made her change her mind?

[Neoma]

79. hmm well since someone kicked the thread i guess i'll keep posting

Voyager crew

[Neoma]

80. Interesting pic of Voyager crew,they are all human..

[NamVetsWeeLass]

82. Oddly enough, The Guy that played Neelix

was also on Benson with Rene Aberjonios (I know I butchered the spelling of his name...) Who played Odo on DS9

[Endangered Specie]

Excelsior Class, and 1701-B
