Wife's thoughts on Voyager last night:

Is Captain Janeway supposed to be lady Captain Kirk? Cause she's a little over the top.

Are she & Chakotay gonna be a thing?

Neelix lied about being an expert so he can get on the ship didn't he?

There's a BUNCH of technobabble in this.
Continuing our Voyager watch. Episode 3 and the wife already seems to be enjoying herself more. She thinks it's cute. Am I disappointed she didnt like DS9? Sure. But plenty of Star Trek to go around.
The wife's thoughts on Voyager:

"This is kinda slow."

"Oh hey, I know that face! We saw him before!" (Tom Paris isn't Nick Locarno conversation ensues.)

"They can make starships but not water? Weird."

"What the FUCK is Neelix wearing?"

"They wrote him as Nick."

"I like this. This looks cute."

Gene Roddenberry’s first and only Dr. Christian episode was a medical drama with a healthy dose of crime. The lost story “Bullet Wound” returns in our new Gene-ology episode. 🎧 pod.fo/e/33c444

Remember when Q tried to have a baby with Janeway in “The Q and the Grey”?
We’re so glad that didn’t happen… but now she’s Aunt Kathy to his unruly kid.

Mission Log wrangles Q, Q, and more Q in “Q2.”

Take a moment to check all of your #YouTube apps to see if “Restricted Mode” has been automatically toggled ON.

If it has been, this is likely the reason you haven’t seen recent videos from your favorite creators. Head to settings and toggle Restricted Mode OFF.
