Notfred: I agree. What about the time Q showed up. Janeway could have just asked Q to send them back home, but she didn't cuz of some stupid sense of chilvary/honor. Hahahaha, she insteads wants to do everything on her own or something......uhh yeah. That makes perfect sense..........not.

Yeah, BUT when the writers decided to (suddenly) END Voyager, they sure managed a "quick" way to send them all home (anyway).

OK "TV"; Horrible "science"

Now, tell me AGAIN why Picard has MALE PATTERN BALDNESS . . . 😛

EDIT:
They've actually proved that the pilots respond better to a female voice over a male one. Don't ask me why, I don't know the exact reason, they just do.

ALL of us guys do ("Your mamma's calling") . . . well maybe except for the gay guys. 😉

Okay, another one. In one TNG episode, the Enterprise meets up with an Enterprise of the past and an Enterprise of the future. The Enterprise of the future has three nacells (sp?) and has the ability to go warp 10.

...riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

I've got another nitpick:

I watched the TNG episode last night where LeForge and Ro are phase shifted by the transporter and everyone thinks that they are dead. How come they are able to walk through walls, people, other objects, etc., but they don't fall through the floor? Answer that one for me.

i've always wondered that too!


also ffm the enterprise in the future could go warp 13, not 10. 😀 not that anyone cares.

Uh, what's wrong with three nacelles?

So, they sent paris through space at infinite velocity. When he came back, he turned into a lizard. They turned him back into a person, and decided not to travel at infinite velocity anymore.

QUESTION: Why not send the whole ship home at infinite velocity, LET the whole crew turn into lizards, and then turn them all back into normal people again?

The doctor was there, he could do it.

Voyager was pretty lame...

Yes, and by far the biggest show-stopper of all: They can set up phasers to automatically modulate, do all kinds of weird unlikely things with all kinds of particles, and play outside the book, YET THEY CANNOT SET A FRICKEN TORPEDO TO DETONATE IN 5 MINUTES INSTEAD OF IMPACT? Sheesh.

I've complained about that one many times. The show should have been over by the end of the first episode.
 
Actualy they did that the time they transported a torpedo inside a borg ship with a timed detonation at the begining of some episode. I think it's the one where they want to steal some borg technology to make the ship go faster or something.

Ummm, what's wrong with that? Obviously the Enterprise was refitted with another nacelle. And the War-space was obviously changed. In the old scale, warp 10 was infinite speed. I would guess that the ships got faster, and it was getting difficult to say "warp 9.999999999. Engage!", so they changes the Warp-scale.

The episode was "All good things...", series finale.
 
I got sick of the standard Voyager plot:

Something happens, shuttle is blown up, end of show, Voyager has shuttles next episode

one more thing: why is the comp voice always women?? LOL

comp voices combat fighters are also women. they found men like it better🙂


maybe through some querk of physics subspace coms go back in time a little hehe🙂

There's nothing wrong with three nacells. My point was the warp scale. But if it changed some time in the future, that does make sense -although a stretch to make it fit somebody's fvck up.
 
The computers realize that for the ship to fly, it needs to fit in at least 12 minutes of commercials in each hour. That money is for general ship maintenance.

The Warp 13 in the last episode is not a fvck up. I mean, they had gone through 7 seasons with no warp speeds over 10. Now, in the last episode they make a mistake of going faster than warp 10? Not likely. The scale was changed. I mean, Voyager had the top-speed of warp 9.975 (if I remember correctly), so I would assume that in the future top-speeds would be something like warp 9.9999999, with regular cruising-speeds about warp 9.99999. It would be pretty awkward to use speeds like that, so the solution is to change the scale.
