His nausea gets worse and Seven gets a wonderful smirk on her face. Then Neelix approaches and starts talking about replicating lamb intestines for blood pudding. Then Harry and Tom start discussing the crashing sea. Actually Pretty Funny: In the episode "Fair Haven", Tuvok is developing space sickness from a neutronic wavefront and mentions his dizziness and nausea to Seven.Torres in "The Q and the Grey." Not only did the actor playing Q (Suzie Plakson) previously play a Klingon on TNG, she played a Klingon- human hybrid, like Torres. spunk." This is spoken by a Female Q to Lt. Actor Allusion: "I've always liked Klingon females.Mark eventually marries someone else, which Janeway finds out when Starfleet reestablishes contact with Voyager in " Hunters", 14 months after the ship was declared missing in action and she was declared Legally Dead. Accidental Adultery: Captain Janeway is engaged to a civilian named Mark Johnson when the titular ship becomes stranded on the other side of the galaxy.although it is revealed that they only acted out of self-defense. They mercilessly destroy billions of Borg before their invasion is halted by a temporary Borg-Voyager alliance. After the hostile Borg invade their home dimension, the genetically superior aliens embark on a crusade across the Milky Way to annihilate all other lifeforms, not just Borg, because they believe that their mere existence might be a threat to their purity. The Starfish Aliens Species 8472 are initially portrayed as the most genocidal species that Starfleet has ever encountered.Voyager's crew find out little about them because they're determined to prevent any outside species from doing so. Critics were getting tired of the over-reliance on the holodeck for stories, even at this early stage. The idea was to show a private side to Janeway and develop her character beyond the limitations of the Captain's Chair, but it was a flop. Janeway's Victorian-era holonovel was going to unspool throughout the series. It is probably for the best that "Basics, Part II" marks the end of the Kazon as a recurring threat to Voyager, even if that ending was less than graceful. riots were the context in which the Kazon were designed, and the class tensions led to some racial subtext which permeates the Kazon episodes. A third problem was that, even in their original conception, the Kazon were meant to be an allegory for the Crips and Bloods (right down to the afros) who were harassing some of the crew members in their secluded neighborhoods. The other problem was that the Kazon were indistinct from Klingons. The big problem is that Piller was no Ron D. Originally they were angling for a darker, more serialized show like DS9. Most of the elements introduced by DS9's Michael Piller, most notably the Kazon Nistrim, were abandoned after ratings faltered and the other producers agreed that they weren't working.No-nonsense Janeway turns over some rocks and instructs her crew to eat the grubs they find underneath.

#CREW OF VOYAGER STAR TREK TV#
By Season Three, the show was retooled into something more suitable for family viewing, and the producers had found a winning formula (in keeping with the late-nineties fantasy TV boom) in embracing the sillier aspects of Starfleet life. Season One offered up a promising mish-mash of crewmen with sketchier backgrounds than those of TOS or TNG, with pasts as rebels, convicts, con men, or (later) Borg drones. The show had a high turnover of both writers and actors. To make matters worse, the Delta Quadrant happens to be the home of the Borg Collective. For the sake of familiarity, they also crossed swords with a pair of Ferengi who had been zapped to the Delta Quadrant back in Next Generation, the Q Continuum, assorted Romulans and Cardassians, a diaspora of Klingons on a pilgrimage of sorts, and even a rogue Starfleet vessel which was also kidnapped by the Caretaker. For the next seven seasons, Voyager looked for a shortcut back to Earth while dodging or battling an assortment of nogoodniks within the Delta region.
