So who's to blame? Janeway for acting like it was a true dilemma or the writers for being unable to write one? Depends on how much you respect the character, I guess. Much like large swathes of Voyager, I like her in principle as the isolated captain who won't leave anyone behind, but in practice, ...

Given how often holodecks seem to malfunction horribly with some regularity, it might be a safety modification to have them on a totally separate power grid. That way, you can completely cut the power without endangering the rest of the ship operations. And, hell, the last thing you'd want is for a...

Who needs Risa when you have a holodeck that conveniently runs on a different power source than the rest of the ship so it doesn't have to be rationed. True, but that doesn't get rid of that weight lurking in the back of your mind. It's like being the parent of a young child or coordinator of a lar...

This argument only holds insofar as the show had a problem with dramatic tension. It was a forgone conclusion from the third episode onward that the Maquis would integrate; it was a forgone conclusion from the first season that they would get home at some point in the show, barring the possibility ...

Her biggest mistake? That's easy: the decision that stranded them in the Delta Quadrant in the first place. Not putting a damn timer on the bomb that blew up the array. She even admits that this was a mistake. She doesn't specify what she would have done in hindsight, but she recognizes that it was...

We will bear in mind that it was Kes originally who sensed a "malevolence", a "cold hatred" from this species Seriously, if you were dealing with a horde of space zombies from another dimension trying to invade your home and assimilate you and your people, you'd be malevolent and hateful too. and i...

One of these days I'm going to check out SGU. It'd be really hilarious if I end up actually liking it. It's not impossible; my opinions of many things SGA seemed to be pretty opposite to the unanimous rulings of the fandom (except for Chuck, who surprisingly seems to have similar opinions to me on ...

We will bear in mind that it was Kes originally who sensed a "malevolence", a "cold hatred" from this species and interpreted their advance as an invasion force. Coupled with that are the lines later on that "Your galaxy is impure, its proximity a threat to their genetic integrity," and "Your galaxy...

Voluntarily committed to where? Just drop her off at the first alien psych ward they come across? I'd assume that they'd do the research first. There's evidence enough in the series that they stop off at stations to resupply and reorientate themselves ("Fair Trade", "The Disease", "Survival Instinc...

I don't think they ever had one. It's mission had just been meant to be a short term one, no need to have a therapist on board for a week long trip. "While we're out here collecting moths, please, tell me about your relationship with your father..." They also sabotaged it by pretending like enlight...
