I need to vent about some stuff that's really been bothering me lately. I just feel like there's no one near me I can talk to about this sort of stuff, so I end up just brooding over it. I need to get it off my chest, and I feel like there are some people who might read this and understand. I'm having issues with Star Trek Voyager

I don't know anything about Star Trek, but I just wanted to say that I'm really sad that I'm missing out on Carl Trek 2006. :(

Me too! In all honesty though, I'm more than a little bit less cool than Hawaii. I'll be coming to the bham for Tankssgivvn, hopefully you'll be taking a break from jetsettery then :)

Hi! I added you because you're funny and clever, and I like the things you post about. I don't ever update myself, I just read other people's posts and comment alot. About Star Trek...I've never seen any of the episodes, but reading that thing on Tuvix made me kinda sad. :(

Hi, thanks!
If you're ever watching TV and you see freaky bad makeup jobs and hear the name "Tuvix," change the channel, because my description isn't nearly as sad as the episode... oh it still makes me mad! >:[

Haha I only saw a few episodes of Voyager, not including the two you just mentioned. With time travel episodes in sci-fi, you're either in for something really trippy in a cool way, or something really stupid. And while I can deal with a lot of the paradoxes in such stories, I can't accept that one... So for the most part, though, you dig Voyager, eh? I actually taped the first five or so episodes, with plans to continue doing so, so I'd have a whole star trek series, but I gave up on it. Maybe it's time for another try?

Oh, and word to your comment about the full vulcan, as well. I often forgot that even Spock was only half.

Yah, I like it quite a bit. I even like the first season, and I haven't liked the first season of any other star trek series very much -- even TNG didn't have a very good first season. A couple of the characters on voyager are a bit annoying... but overall quite solid yah. Even the episode I complained about is pretty good, I just didn't like that aspect of it. I mean, WEAK. Slap in the face, really.

Holy cow. I wandered over to your journal because of your fine use of the word "tastinessitude" and lo, I find someone I can spill my guts to.

I was a fan of Voyager but missed the last season because some of corporate buyouts and lack of cable-bill money. I finally got to that place on my Netflix queue and was so excited to see how they got home.

Mruh? WTF? WHY was a prime directive suddenly no longer important? WHERE was the sense of closure and thematic unity? WHAT the hell happened instead of what happened? HOW am I supposed to feel about these characters losing integrity completely?

Bah. I was so disappointed. Maybe if I'd seen it back then.

Regarding your post,
1. I wanted to kill Tuvix so didn't notice the moral compass break.
2. I'm pretty sure aliens were the deus ex machina that got humans out of the slime. So at least in this case we stole from ourselves.
