Better pairing than Chakotay and Seven out of nowhere. Glad they showed that didn't last in Picard.

[-] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 22 points 3 months ago

That one never made sense. Even Odo and Kira was a bit off, but not as bad as those two.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 16 points 3 months ago

Yeah, I'd love to hear the writer's room justification for that one. If there had to be a romance with Seven, even Harry Kim would be a better choice. At least he admitted he was attracted to her.

If they had actually given a shit and showed us what happened when Voyager got home, I would have liked to think that, since the mission was over, Janeway and Chakotay could finally admit the feelings they had for each other that was made clear in the early episode where they were stuck on that planet for ages.

I've not rewatched Voyager since its original airing, but my recollection is that they had been playing up a Seven/Doctor pairing for a while and then Chakotay just swept in out of the blue as the Designated Guy in the final episodes. I always wondered if there was pressure against pairing off the two most "synthetic" members of the crew as being too much like having them "keep to their kind?"

A random crewmember we had never heard of before would have been a better choice than Chakotay.

That or Robert Beltran complained he had little to do toward the end of the series.

Odo and Kira was earned.

Bashir and Ezri… go to horny jail!

[-] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

You mean the whole "we're intelligent, mature adults who can see past our horny" bullshit? Whaaat? You don't say. At least Odo and Kira have years of shared loathing together.

[-] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Couples who loath together, stay together.

I'm not saying I'm tired, but I just spent way too long trying to figure out why you called her Seven out of nowhere... 🫤

And those kids lived happily ever after... with no assistance, in an unfamiliar environment, never to be heard of again.

I was really hoping Discovery was going to make their decedents the cause of "The Burn"

[-] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 21 points 3 months ago

Still would have made more sense.

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon' and fuck over our artist friends.

Fun will now commence.
