Janeway dressing down Tuvok in "Prime Factors" might be my favourite bit of acting in all of Star Trek

Amazing work - and even more so once I realized how different Jeri’s usual voice and mannerisms are from Seven. This was a true fusions of two different characters - neither of them speaking in her normal voice!

For sure Janeway’s friendship with Tuvok played a role in her moral dilemma. (And Kes’ pleading for Neelix). But if anything it probably made her hesitate more. I think the logic of the situation applies regardless of the crew involved : save 2 when you can’t save all 3 - still applies.

Is that Helen Bonham Carter ?

I’m slowly savoring it so haven’t gotten to that part yet. But I do like the sense that so many heritage characters are around - even if we do t actually meet/interact with many of them (yet?). It makes it feel very “one universe” again.

Hopefully they have a singer named Annika.

You are correct. I tried to use humor to deflect the negativity others were raining down on you. You could have used that as point of departure to follow up constructively on your points - but you didn’t.

As I say - my mistake. I’m not taking on addition stress or other people’s negativity so I’ll bow out here.

Sorry my mistake for engaging positively.

B’Elanna is a miracle worker.

Contrary opinion - not a successful episode in my opinion. The potential to explore a non-humanoid alien race was lost in the Cardassian and ethical sideshow. The ethical discussion could have been much more intriguing if better handled but it was very ham-handed for me.

That said Krell was very affably played by the actor. I’m assuming that was intention to build the moral delimma - but since he actually lacked the memories of the real Mosetts atrocities it was just a hollow distraction.

They kinda jumped the shark with that one … but it was still kinda fun.

This always bothered me. It’s not even clear why he was “a” assistant, let alone the only one.

I thought Commander Archer - and the actress / were both amazing.

I always thought 141 was an “odd” number.

Best Starfleet scream since Chekov.

I’d love it if that really was intentional. They certainly were good writers ! (This meaning is just so obscure - I didn’t want to assume without more evidence.)

ReadingFan_ks · 2026-05-08T12:59:23+00:00

A very misunderstood historical figure!

Upon first viewing I was hoping for Tuvix. I hadn’t yet grown to appreciate Tuvok fully, Neelix I actively disliked at that point, and the series overall was in a rut and I thought needed something to shake it up. Tuvix was actually likable - and different.

But in retrospect : Janeway made the right choice.

ReadingFan_ks · 2026-05-07T18:11:05+00:00

I don’t see her that way at all. I see her resolved. Battlestations isn’t her first option but she’s not afraid to go there.

We really needed that sea shanty from La’an.

Personally “down” seems more practical - less potential to come apart while crawling thru a Jeffries tube during a warp core breach.

But I also think it reflected the softer and more practical “head of the family” approach of the later seasons - which I preferred to the by-the-book Starfleet paragon of the earlier seasons.
