ok...a few months ago, one of the threads started trailing off, as usual, and got on the topic of star trek. i decided it is now time to discuss it. so here we go.....
we're going to be discussing star trek voyager. i decided to just pick it for some odd reason and we'll be discussing about the characters in star trek voyager so try not to get to off topic by going off to another star trek series!
synopsis: the starship voyager goes on its first assignment which is to capture a maquis ship in the bad lands but in doing so. it gets stranded in the delta quadrant and is forced to combine with the maquis in order to survive and get home. the crew of the voyager will contiue their mission of exploring strange new worlds and to explore space while they try to get home!
the 3 major characters that were featured the most; more than what i wanted to see:
captain kathryn janeway- ok, we get to the captain, who is the first woman in the history of a star trek series, not star trek in general cause there has been women who have been captains in the history of star trek, to be captain. i thought this character was a great leader to her crew and would sacrafice herself in order to save her crew which she did several times in various episodes. she was like a mother to the crew, especially to people like 7 of 9, and b'elanna torres. i really enjoyed her during the first 3 or 4 seasons until she got on my nerves during the last 3 seasons. also, the writers gave her more story lines during the last 3 or 4 years of the show because they found her easy to write for. to me, i felt that janeway had more of a natural, scientific feel to her during the first several seasons than she did in the last 3 seasons. she just got kind of bland to me in the later years because of all the stories she was getting.
the doctor: for the first several years, especially the first season, the doctor was the least developed character because they really couldn't do a lot with him cause he was in sickbay and couldn't go anywhere around the ship. that kind of made him a boring character right there. also, he was annoying as heck cause he was a jerk to the crew ( a very good reason why robert picardo, who played the doctor, didn't want to play him in the first place). then by half way through the 3rd season, the doctor got a mobile emmiter from the 29th century that helped him leave the medical bay and roam around the ship and join away team missions. then all of a sudden, the doctor starts getting episodes. an epsiode i liked that had the doctor was the 4th seasons message in a bottle where the doctor transfers to the alpha quadrant and explains to starfleet that the crew of the voyager is alive and well. however, as the 5th season goes on til the 7th season, we get to see a lot of the doctor, in episodes written for him or written to include him as a major character for the episode like 5th seasons episode timeless. however, as fun as the doctor is he to begins to drag because the writers start writing a lot of episodes for him. i liked when the doctor wanted to do more than just be the doctor everyone comes to see. i liked that the writers were trying to make him more of an officer that can take command in a situation like in the 6th seasons tinker tenor doctor spy and in the 7th seasons workforce parts 1 and 2. but i would i have thought since the command stuff was now in his programing that janeway would actually give him a rank, say like commander, but they never did. and over the years the doctor did start to act nicer to the crew, although i doubt he thought highly of paris since he always poked fun of him!
7 of 9- i really hated this character. ok so she wounded up replacing kes at the begining of season 4 and she looks quite pretty, thanks to jeri ryan's looks, but boy did this character get old. ok so the 4th season was kind of like the season for 7 of 9 cause people need to see her grow and what she is like, but by the 5th season, a lot of episodes started to go to this character. i think in the last several seasons of voyager people started to get tired of her being in the spot light and wanted other characters to get the attention they deserved. i liked the conflict between her and torres and janeway causing her to think differently than the rest of the crew when they ran into problems. seeing torres arguing with 7 was kind of like seeing to kids having differences and fighting. i never got the impression the torres liked her at the end of the series either. i also thought the writers should have had her and the doctoer get into a romance instead of her and chakotay because her romance with chokaty was a little to sudden in the last episode. i liked her relationship with the borg children that came on board during the 6th season too. she was tackling a subject of being a teacher/parent to this chirldren and she knew nothing about it and i thought it was cool to explore with the 7. but again, she was heavily shown throught the last few seasons of the series and made some of the other actors upset when the writers wrote more stories for her than say chakotay or harry kim....
ok, it's getting really late so i'll finish the rest of the characters tomorrow; until then, discuss this and add your own thoughts about these 3 characters.
