Yes, the Vidians were rather disturbing. The Phage would have been a terrible disease to have.

[crazy_diamond]

I forgot about the Vidians

[Chris]

They were completely creepy, thinking they could go around stealing body parts from others.

[tvfreak]

Yeah I think I enjoyed the darkness of the first season! I love that they got to a good place of trust and camaraderie with the two crews but man the maquis was probably an underdeveloped story in that universe. Like, I wanna know how that resistance started and how it fell. They kinda had that brief mention about how the maquis were destroyed but what really happened??

I’m deep into it now! enjoying it though!

[crazy_diamond]

Yeah about the Marquis storyline

Glad you are enjoying it

they definitely could have expanded on that.

We didn't really see it with Chakotay, but B'Elanna and Seska had a hard time coming to terms with setting aside differences and working with Starfleet.

[Waldfrau]

Yes, that was a missed opportunity.

You learn more about this on DS9 which also featured the maquis and how it started as well as how it was destroyed by the dominion.

Oh that’s exciting! I’m trying to decide if I should DS9 after I finish Voyager or Discovery. Haven’t watched either yet. I remember watching a few episodes here and there of DS9 when I was young but I don’t remember much!

I think I remember TNG and Voyager much better because they were easier to watch in syndication, don’t have to worry about missing a few episodes. DS9 (I hear?) has more of an arc to it, which made it hard to follow when watching through reruns on TV.

But I’m excited to hear they go into the Maquis story on DS9!

[Arrakis]

Yeah DS9 is quite arc based, especially in the later seasons that featured the dominion war, sisko's role as religious messiah of bajor, etc. The maquis arch is not so big tbh, but gives more info than voyager does.

The first two seasons though were mostly each episode another story like on voyager.

Tom did enjoy his holodeck programmes.

That's what I found too. As the series progressed, being familiar with what happened in past episodes gave significant background to the storylines.

Fantastic episode! the Captain Proton episodes were always fun to watch!

Watching all the episodes in a row now I’m definitely noticing longer running stories in Voyager, or at least call backs to earlier episodes. But it’s not the main focal point of the episode.

Tom is so happy Janeway is taking part
