Year of Hell is probably the best. Two-parter, with Red Foreman.Anyway, any other good Voyager episodes to watch?
But yeah, the Tuvix episode just demonstrates how shitty a captain and person Janeway is.

The episodes with Q appearances are good, IMO.Anyway, any other good Voyager episodes to watch?
Nah. She made the right call, IMO. But that's the whole point of the episode. There really is no defined right answer.Year of Hell is probably the best. Two-parter, with Red Foreman.

They tried to make it seem as if there were no right answer, but they're idiots and hacks so they fucked it up. Killing Tuvix was absolutely the wrong choice.Nah. She made the right call, IMO. But that's the whole point of the episode. There really is no defined right answer.
Try "Blink of an Eye" or "Latent Image". Both good episodes.Anyway, any other good Voyager episodes to watch?

I wonder if Neelix is still aliveI watched the Tuvix episode of Voyager because I had never seen it. I have to say the end of that episode is fucked. Kudos to the Doctor for being the only crew member with some balls. What an absolutely sad episode.
In my head canon, Disco, SNW, and Lower Decks are all another timeline. It makes sense and takes all the canon baggage off. There was a blurb in particular in Tommow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow where the baddie referenced that she'd been there since 1992. That's the year Khan was supposed to kick off the Eugenics Wars. But that didn't happen, and it turns out he wasn't born until much later, let alone old enough to kick off a planetary scale war.
If comics and comic book movies can have multiple timelines/dimensions, then why can't Trek? The JJ movies showed it can be done and it's viable both in purposes of canon and practicality. There's been multiple TNG episodes showing different dimensions/realities, not to mention the whole Mirror Universe. Just embrace it already.
Nonetheless, the reality is that its a TV show, and once you have nearly 60 years worth of canon to contend with, it gets really difficult to tell stories from eras that have already been seen on the screen without being in a giant minefield of canon to uphold. Suspension of disbelief as a viewer is needed.
All that said, season 2 of SNW was fantastic, though it didn't grab me quite as hard as season 1 did. Hated the musical episode, but I just dislike musicals so it doesn't necessarily mean it's bad.
M'benga is the new Miles O'Brien, in that he's the new character that's made to suffer repeatedly for drama. That episode was intense as hell though and one of my favorites. If they had portrayed the Klingon War like that in Disco, it would have had a much better impact.
Supposedly it is, but it makes zero sense for those kind of comedic shenanigans to be happening in the main universe, and now that Boims and Mariner appeared on the (really amazing) crossover episode, that could be a loophole for a different timeline too.Ehhh Lower Decks is mainline canon though. they reference a LOT of TNG stuff and have had characters like Riker show up and it follows a lot of what happened in TNG (and now Voyager). The crossover ep with SNW and the musical episode (yes... musical episode) are 200% magic though.
No spoilers - but in the musical episode, the Klingons steal the god damned show. Its brilliant.
Discovery is bullshit so who cares what timeline its in. Trash it. Ignore it. Never happened. Garbage.
I dont believe SNW is retconning per se, but evidently there are 'two types of Gorn.' The type you see that Kirk fought in TOS, and these more Xenomorph lookin dudes.
Two factions, sub races, etc.
SNW has a pretty meaty budget, and it's apparently paying off as they were the top streaming show for a few weeks towards the end of the season. It's not Game of Thrones money, but its definitely, along with Disco, the most well funded of Star Trek shows ever.M’Benga as the O’Brien makes sense. Yeah unless I misheard M’Benga said a 100 million died in the war? They certainly presented it in that episode as something absolutely horrific. It was…not that in Discovery lol.
The first episode seemed like it had quite the impressive budget. Lots of Klingons, practical Endor set plus a ton of CGI, etc. They must be dropping a ton of money on this.
I’m fine with any retcons or continuity boo boos anyway. In my head canon the Gorn confederation are eventually allied with Federation because that’s how it is in the alternate Starfleet Universe.
Preach. Time travel his ass back to the 23rd century and give him his own show as captain.OK I will admit - Discovery gave the Trek universe two great things:
Strange New Worlds and Saru. 100% on Saru. I wish they'd figure out some way of putting him in a mainline Trek show. Doug Jones just kills it as Saru.
