ShadySands Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Season 6 of Voyager now My wife can't wait for it to be over because while she generally likes the crew she absolutely hates Janeway and thinks she's the worst Captain so far 1 Free games updated 3/4/21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raithe Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 I still call Tuvok the worst Security Officer. How many episodes do they string together where the ship isn't hijacked or vast numbers of the crew kidnapped in one form or another? 2 "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."

ShadySands Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 I agree they lose control of the ship a lot but I put it more on some of the inane decision Janeway makes more than on Tuvok My wife doesn't like the actress much either, complains about her smokers voice Free games updated 3/4/21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyCrimson Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 I remember hoping Voyager would be a return to spacefaring Trek after DS9 (which I could never get into for multiple reasons)...I watched maybe half a season. I didn't really dislike it, but it didn't make me want to keep watching, either. Although iirc I did like the virtual doctor guy. He was funny. Janeway was just meh. Actually she reminded me a bit of Kate Hepburn in her older years, if Hepburn in her older years had looked a bit younger. Yeah...I totally made sense there... Then again, maybe it was just Janeway's hair. “Things are as they are.

Raithe Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 To be fair, Voyager picked up in the last few years in general storytelling and character growth. But they also had a habit of making eunuchs of any previously scary alien encounter. "Oh look, it's something that was a big bad and immensely scary last season. Now we can kick its ass and it turns out its really quite wussified.." - Notably both the Borg, and Q. Janeway did tend to follow the more Kirk type of behaviour in some ways - Let's follow the Prime Directive in a hand-wavey kind of manner, well, unless it really gets in the way of keeping my crew alive and getting us home, in which case lets just chuck it out the window.

Raithe Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 (edited) To be fair, it's only an eight episode run. It's not like they're going to force it into a full blown 20-odd episodes.. http://youtu.be/jKtmIyLXgt0 Edited January 6, 2015 by Raithe "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."

LadyCrimson Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Yeah, I know. I liked it, laughed quite a bit. Glad they chose a half hour format tho...it would be a bit too much for me if it was an hour. Also, I was watching it on VoD and during the adbreaks they kept playing ads for upcoming ABC shows using the same song-style, over and over every break, which became rather eye-rolling when seeing them all at once like that. That sing-song cadence style they're using...I often wonder if it has a name, because note for note it's very similar to ... well, a ton of other stuff. “Things are as they are.

Raithe Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 It actually puts me in mind of a lot of British panto. Everyone knowing its all incredibly silly and jokey, but playing it seriously, with moments of over-ham to the audience, interspersed with passable amusing songs.

The ads were mildly amusing...then the ad for Revenge hit, and it was glorious. Doing ads for comedies and The Bachelor musical style fits, but for a thriller? It was so ridiculous I couldn't help but laugh. Edited January 6, 2015 by Oerwinde The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.

LadyCrimson Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Apparently I've created a Netflix monster (hubby). He just started watching the Alias series, now. I didn't know Bradly Cooper was in it. It seems a bit over the top action-wise (JJ Abrams?) but watchable. Think it's worth continuing with? “Things are as they are.

Raithe Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Alias has its ups and downs. It starts out with some nice (if silly ideas), introduces some neat characters, twists things around a few times, then proceeds to get a touch more sillier as it goes along. It does start wandering into that "almost steampunk renaissance superscience genius" plotline in the last few seasons as I recall, which was both interesting and exceptionally silly for a modern day spy genre. It all depends on how much you can take of lies, deception, twist, turns, betrayals, will they/won't they romance, family issues, and evvvvviiiillll conspiracies.

Hiro Protagonist Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 I remember hoping Voyager would be a return to spacefaring Trek after DS9 (which I could never get into for multiple reasons)... DS9 is one of those shows where you have to wade through three seasons of some of the worse TV and then finally rewarded with 4 seasons of awesome. It's like sucking on a lemon and when you can't take it anymore, you're then rewarded with the finest meal you've ever had. I've only watched the first three seasons once and never again.

LadyCrimson Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 There was this one ds9 episode in the early first season that I liked, some alien guy with honor/death issues. My girlfriend and I were all "hits you right here" when we saw it. But my main issues with DS9 were that I couldn't get into any of their conflict-arc issues. Too...political. I did try occasionally checking an episode here and there later...always put me to sleep. Also...I am not a fan of Ferengi. At all. The security guy was cool tho. I always like Rene. “Things are as they are.

Raithe Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Was having a roam around on Amazon Prime and found a series from a few years ago. The Collector. Interesting idea - A monk from the 1400's lost faith, made a deal with the devil, and ended up as a "Collector" of souls when other people had made deals and their time was up. After so long, he basically challenges the devil to get the chance to help these people repent in their final days. If he does, they get to go free, if not, he still has to collect on their souls and condemn them to hell. Not exactly high production values, but it managed to run for three years and from a few episodes seems full of "thoseguys" - faces you'll recognise for being in all sorts of supporting roles, but never seem to be recognised by name.
