Open thoughts from the Rhino
Bad Captain
Published on July 2, 2004 By Red Rhino In Just Hanging Out
Its late and I'm catching an episode of Star Trek: Voyager. I don't particularly have any postive or negative feeling towards the show. It has its good moments and bad ones. But I know what I don't like about it; The Captain. She is always such a ... mother figure. I guess thats how they might have intended it. But whenever she has to tell a crew member they've done bad its always, "I'm very disappointed in you...", or "What am I supposed to do with you?" I feel awkward watching it, mostly. Its like hanging at your friends house and have to watch their mother start talking about how they need to work harder or be more like so and so. I want to reach out and slap Janeway a few times and say, "Just shut up already, lay off the guilt trip."

By far, the best episode of Voyager was "Year of Hell, part 2" Its where the captain rammed Voyager into the side of another ship. Blowing up the ship and taken her with it. Of course it was reversed due to a time paradox (its amazing how many of those happen in the star trek universe) and what not... but it was a very nice sight to see.

What about "Old Janeway" dying in the final episode to bring Voyager home more quickly?

lol, I'm sorry. I didn't think to mention it since its been in rerun for the past 5 years or whatever.

Hmm... That episode was doubly worse since there were TWO janeways, so I only got half satisfaction when only one died. At least in the other I got full satisfaction if it was only for a brief second.

I know how to make the next film a blockbuster. Kill Janeway and Riker. Everyone will pay to see that.

Hmmm, Riker never got on my nerves that much. But maybe Wesley can come and be a crewman on voyager. Then he and janeway can go out on some mission and die horribly.
