DAILY REMINDER that Bashir is wearing comfy sneakers in this scene.
I never stopped laughing.

Post proof.
Was it autism?
>>63587439
I heard she intentionally played her character a bipolar after being given the restrictions she was working under.
Jesus Christ, that show. That show. Uhg. Voyager is The Big Bang Theory of sci-fi. "I love sci-fi, anon! Which is your favorite Voyager or Dr. Who character?" You asshole.
>>63588023
I have literally never met anyone in person who knows or references Voyager so I find this hard to believe. DS9 and ENT too.
>>63588196
... ok. Maybe it's just what the creators wanted Voyager to be, and why it's so terrible. Fucking vacuous garbage.
Dr. Who though... I think I was right on that one.
>>63587439
Imagine what Voyager could have been if they had better working conditions.
>>63587585
He got so Fucking fat. You Riker was fucking fit and built.
What happen!?
If only Voyager had the writers of Doctor Who it could have been a great show.

Why is Voyager the most drama-filled Star Trek?
TOS
>Jim Kirk had a huge ego and everybody hated working with him
TNG
>someone (Maurice Hurley?) harassed Bev Crusher in the first year
DS9
>Ben Sisko injected raw marijuanic cannabinoids directly into his bloodstream before shooting every day
Enterprise
>UPN execs were constantly interfering, shit like arranging for real life pop bands to play at the ends of episodes
Voyager
>the writing staff's Native American advisor was actually an Armenian scam artist
>before the show began, Executive Producer Rick Berman told the human characters to act wooden, to make the aliens "pop"
>Chakotay hated how bland he became, so he kept demanding pay raises, hoping to be fired
>Chakotay dated 7 of 9 only because he demanded a romantic relationship
>7 was hired because Executive Producer Brannon Braga wanted to sleep with her
>Janeway didn't like that 7 was ruining her "feminist role model" vision, so Janeway bullied 7 on-set
>this only stopped when 7 began sleeping with Braga, ruining her marriage
>when her divorce details became public, her ex-husband lost the race for Illinois Senator to Barack Obama
>the bullying was so bad that Harry Kim bursts into treats and cries about it at conventions
>Kim and Tom Paris avoided the bullying by spending their off-camera time at the snack table
>they gained so much weight that the writers threw fat jokes into scripts
>the execs began hating Kim when he talked to TV Guide about Berman's acting mandate
>they were going to fire him, and only didn't because People Magazine named him among the year's Most Beautiful People
>instead they fired Kes, and her life spun out of control, so she fell into drugs and crime
>Tuvok has no life outside of Star Trek, and he's now the driving force behind Renegades
>Ron Moore joined as Co-Executive Producer, but left when he saw that the writers/execs "don't give a shit"
Were they cursed by vengeful spirits, angry at Jamake Highwater for his lies?
Voyager's pilot showed promise for an absolutely amazing show. Then we got reset button and a bunch of other undeveloped characters (Harry Kim?) and bullshit.
Ironically it is one of the most comfy Trek shows, which I suppose is precisely why it failed its premise.

Since you own the internet and this is your thread this rule will be followed
Also you can enforce this rule if it's not followed because OP has internet superpowers
>>63589636
>>Jim Kirk had a huge ego and everybody hated working with him
As reported by everyone else on the show who had no real career outside of Trek, unlike Shatner who was able to not only get other onscreen work was able to carry another successful series as lead
>>63589849
The pilot killed off like the three best characters.
>>63589636
What exactly did the bullying entail? Also holy shit how different things might be had 7s marriage not ended and her husband beat Obama.

yeah Dr. Who is the worst garbage on tv, in any genre. it's just unbelievably bad, as if some random tumblr pink hair was given creative control of a major television series and allowed to just write fan fiction scripts with no oversight

Oh yeah, I found that character pretty interesting just because the same actor played perhaps the most resourceful humanoid Picard ever faced-- Roga Danar from 'The Hunted'

When the best insult you have to offer is the word reddit you have lost the argument. Twice really, because you stooped to insulting someone and interpreted this as you making a point about someone other than yourself

The only thing more annoying than Neelix was the way every other character pretended to like Neelix.

Tuvok barely tolerated him. He had the right idea.

The Voyager two part that crossed over with the Sarah Silverman Program
>>63591390
Now this has just taken a turn for bait.
>>63591411
After Kes left Neelix was surprisingly tolerable. Like he usually didn't get too much screentime, and when he did he was usually at least somewhat useful.
>>63591572
>and when he did he was usually at least somewhat useful.
That didn't make it better for me. It was like they were straining to justify his continued presence in episodes so they kept using him as a plot device
>>63591478
>this one-episode fling between characters who hated each other was a better love plot than pretty much every other main-cast romance
>>63591639
What you don't like them dragging something out for like two seasons only for them to forget about it later?
>>63589330
Imagine if almost everything about Voyager was different, is what you're asking. There was so fucking much working against that show there is nothing to salvage but a few ideas. Don't be Ideas Guy.
>>63589636
I hadn't heard all of these. Thanks.
I get schadenfreude hearing about the reasons why that show was such fucking garbage.
>when her divorce details became public, her ex-husband lost the race for Illinois Senator to Barack Obama
THANKS, VOYAGER!
>Were they cursed by vengeful spirits, angry at Jamake Highwater for his lies?
I think the execs were horrible, soulless creatures who ruined a franchise.
>>63589976
HAHAHAHAH! Sometimes I'm reminded why I love TNG, DS9, and B5 as my all time favorite sci-fi shows. Such endearing moments.

>>63592230
>"We're trying to preserve Gene's vision"
>>63592230
>ratings
Fuck the public. DS9 was fucking great. Enterprise's quality is an inversion of that graph, so ratings don't reflect shit except how many eyeballs are on at the time. which of course is important for advertising. God fucking damn it all to hell, and it is going to hell, and not just television, and not just entertainment.
>>63592255
Yeah, like there's just two sides to this, the evil executive who incompetently runs the brand and the genius creatives. As I hear it, TNG and DS9 both flourished and were genius because of the not-unlimited freedom the creatives had in arguing their case. Gene had some fucked up ideas that even the other creative people weren't onboard with. Unrestrained Gene would be like unrestrained George Lucas.
>>63592584
It should be noted that Voyager had consistently lower ratings than Enterprise but it never got cancelled.
What the hell?
tfw when I see Bashir in an HD photo and for a split second think DS9 was finally remastered
Is TAS worth watching?
>>63592692
i doubt the criteria for why a show gets cancelled is 100% consistant.
>>63591390

>edit: Thanks for the gold kind stranger
>>63592863
TAS is like looking into minds of men that have gone beyond being high, like their whole perception of reality has gone straight to warp 10 and then to plaid.
>>63592871
I know, but it pains me how Voyager had at least 2 episodes with only 1 million viewers but Enterprise always hovered between 3-5, and it gets cancelled.
When ENT was done we were getting comfy TOS aliens/references and more action, smarter plots, better acting...
>>63593055
i dont know about other areas but i stopped watching that shit just because they changed the timeslot.
>>63592871
Of course not. An executive or other money man has some preconceived idea and decides he knows what's best instead of listening or even initiating any studies, even while such hard data is used as an excuse to destroy everything including great quality.
I think it's also important to note that Enterprise started weaker than Voyager, so at least according to that graph I can understand why Enterprise might have gotten the plug pulled early, if it did. It sure as fuck had enough seasons, most of them full of garbage.
I wish someone would make something like Babylon 5 on an independent budget, released on the internet. I want quality again. There's so little genius out there. I'm watching damned cartoons just because they're mediocre instead of the sea of horribleness. and it's not like it's different for books.
>>63593098
this is an often underlooked component of viewership
>>63593098
>not watching a show because it changes days or is on an hour later than normal
totally valid reason
>>63593205
considering that theses shows were out long before DVRs and TIVO, or being able to torrent the show that night; yes it was a valid reason back then. Now there is no excuse
>Supergirl gets to air prime time on CBS
>the next Star Trek series is going to be streaming only
>that kike Les Moonves who hated Star Trek anyway still gets what he wants
I've been rewatching tng so much I'm starting to enjoy the shittiest episodes

not him but its just trek with more weird bullshit because of the freedom animu gives.

What happened to that ugly old bitch doctor anyway? I must have fallen asleep during an episode because she was just gone
Crusher is best qt though
