Fun 'Star Trek: Voyager' watch-through update.

I ATE season 4 in quick fashion. I'm knee deep into season 5 now, watching 'Bride of Chaotica' S05E12, and am struck by just how much the likes of 'WandaVision' owe to Star Trek, as a whole, not just this fantastical example of an episode. How much Star Trek itself inherits from classic sci-fi serials and anthologies, comic, radio, film, and television, and how much it relishes that aspect of its own DNA. TOS IS classic sci-fi and I love that these 90s iterations never shied away from that inherently camp heritage.

'Voyager' finally feels like it's found that happy space the best of DS9 & TNG did between serious sci-fi, as they struggle to find a way home, and joyous, gloriously silly sci-fi what-if episodes of stand alone adventures. Characters able to enter both spaces, like Janeway has finally got a chance to, feel much more three-dimensional and fully fleshed out. And I like her more and more as a result.

I did not lament the loss of Kes, the not quiet two year old love interest was so poorly realised as a character. Her replacement, Seven of Nine, has gone miles in realising that other major thread of the Galaxay, the question of what being human means. I missed so much of her origin story and I'm glad I have the details now. I have thoughts about her costuming, saved for another day.

Dare I say it, Neelix is not even irritating, and there have been episodes where he is featured that have been wholly enjoyable. Notably, 'Once Upon a Time' S05E05, that really served to push the reality of the overarching narrative of having an ETA at home of 75 years, without shoving it in your face. It was subtle, emotional, and walked the line between the serious and silly very well.

As I've got 2.5 seasons to, I look forward to the series holding at this quality.

I like Captain Janeway more than I thought I would. I remember now what it was that first set me against her, my first instinct was the same: "ma'am" in a crunch, never "sir". It still feels not quite as feminist as I think they were aiming for. I still have to take a minute to remember her first name, Kathryn. Spelled weird.
There really are some hard slow points in a Star Trek rewatch.

#StarTtek needs a live-action #CaptainJaneway series. Even if it's a series where's she's looking for coffee in nebulae!

Is #AlexKurtzman on #Mastodon yet so we can bug him?

@cyx37 @wonderwatt my favorite is voyager with #captainjaneway

Before being the captain of the Voyager on Star Trek Voyager, Kate Mulgrew was Captain Cressa of the Ghost Pirates in Hanna Barbera's The Pirates of Dark Water episode Ghost Pirates (1992).

@natecull @urusan I tried to introduce our now 11 year old daughter to #StarWars multiple times. She's vaguely intrigued by the OT, bored by the prequels and passionately hates the #Disney films.

She loves the #FifthElement though.

And she's just crazy for #StarTrek, both classic and NG, but her absolute favourite is #Voyager. #CaptainJaneway and #SevenOfNine are probably what comes closest to how I felt about Luke and Han back then.

For her, SW #jumpedtheshark
