->''"We were looking for a way to [[RatingsStunt make the ratings soar]]\\

->Space: The final [[CashCowFranchise marketing ploy.]]\\\
These are the continuing voyages of the starship ''Voyager.''\\\
I'm Captain Janeway -- and every ''other'' captain got an opening narration, except for me and [[Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine the black guy]]. Yeahhhh. Is it because we can grow our hair out ''naturally'', you prejudiced dickholes?

->I would erase 'Twisted'. What the ''hell'' was that? And the one with the lizards, too. I’ve forgotten the title -- [[LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain blissfully]]. It was the one in which Robbie becomes a lizard and I become a lizard and we have lizard babies.

->The first ''Star Trek'' movie that I saw was ''[[Film/StarTrekGenerations Generations]]''... And since then I've seen a few ''[[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration Next Generation]]'' episodes that I liked, and a couple of ''[[Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine Deep Space Nine]]''. I'm waiting for a good ''Voyager'' episode. [[SnubByOmission I hope one comes up soon.]]
-->--'''Robert Beltran''' on his ''Series/StarTrekVoyager'' experience

->''Voyager'' was a show conceived in feminist or at least pro-woman terms. Conceived by a woman writer-producer, Jeri Taylor, along with Michael Piller, Voyager was the first Trek series with a woman Captain. Captain Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) was an interesting mixture of Kirk-style heroics, nurturing, maternal sensitivity, and thoughtfully enquiring scientific curiosity (Janeway is a scientist as well as a Captain; unfortunately, this aspect of her persona [[{{Flanderization}} was downplayed in later years]]). Whereas ''Voyager'' had a strong female Captain, Janeway and several other strong women characters, ''[[Series/StarTrekEnterprise Enterprise]]'' features two female characters who represent two sides of the debased woman in patriarchy, [[StrawFeminist the tough woman denounced by hostile males]] and [[HystericalWoman the fumbling, wan hysteric.]]

->Despite her loss, Seven of Nine is congratulated by the promoter for popping the ratings and being, as a hated Borg, such a great [[ForeignWrestlingHeel foreign heel]]. No, I’m [[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer not making this up]], minus the wrestling jargon.

->Tuvok is ranting and throwing papers about in frustration. I believe this scene was inspired by Robert Beltran reading his script once.

->The only damage that the ship suffers is that Janeway’s hair falls out of its bun.

->The bridge is on fire, allowing Sulu to [[OutOfTheInferno step theatrically through a plume of smoke]] to make his big entrance. However, when ''Excelsior'' reappears immediately following Kirk’s rescue in ''[[Film/StarTrekVITheUndiscoveredCountry The Undiscovered Country]]'', the bridge still looks new and fresh. There is no evidence of massive damage or destruction. Of course, this is ''Voyager''. It seems to take about five minutes to recover that "new starship smell" after nearly apocalyptic damage.

->To prepare for this recap, I (along with my family) watched a few ''[[Series/StarTrekVoyager Voyager]]'' episodes from different seasons. And even in the early season one episodes, there seemed to already be a pattern in place in terms of plot. Namely: there's some problem that threatens the ship at the beginning of the episode. The problem may be external, or something caused by the crew of ''Voyager'' itself. A healthy amount of time is spent with various permutations of {{technobabble}} phrases, until eventually the right combination is spoken.

->'''Janeway''': On Telsian law. I think it's only fair that we let our guest know what to expect.\\
'''Tuvok''': The Telsian criminal justice system is rather barbaric.\\
'''Janeway''': Tell her about the prisons.\\
'''Tuvok''': Barely habitable. Inmates often die of malnutrition before they are brought to trial. Torture is commonplace, as is disease, including several incurable forms of psoriasis.
-->--"Live Fast and Prosper"

->'''Janeway''': "Psoriasis"?\\
'''Tuvok''': Improvisation is not foremost among my talents.\\
'''Janeway''': Considering I caught you off guard, I thought your performance was exemplary.\\
'''Tuvok''': Thank you, Captain. Was your order to call the Telsians part of the deception or did you actually want me to contact them?\\
'''Janeway''': Not yet. Let's give Dala some time to think about those "barbaric prisons."

->Like ''[=DS9=]'' before it, ''Voyager'' too had a controversial legacy; not so much for what it did, but for [[TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot what it didn't do.]] Whereas ''[=DS9=]'' pushed the envelope and became a [[DarkerAndEdgier darker and grittier]] series than the other ''Star Treks'', Voyager, for the most part, [[StrictlyFormula played it safe]]. For this reason, ''[=DS9=]'' and ''Voyager'' are seen as being at the [[SlidingScaleOfShinyVersusGritty opposite ends on the fandom]], with ''[=DS9=]'' fans finding ''Voyager'' to be the weakest series, and ''Voyager'' fans finding ''[=DS9=]'' to be the weakest.

->There have been more episodes that have taken place on Earth, or alternate Earth, or past Earth than I think [[Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries the original series]] did in its whole run, and the original series was set over in the Alpha Quadrant. Kirk and company never went to present day 23rd century Earth, their contemporaneous Earth, ever. Gene wouldn’t do it. ''Voyager'' is on the other side of the galaxy, and they have already run into some alien race [[WeAllLiveInAmerica recreating Starfleet Academy]].

->So we see that Captain Janeway has been promoted to Admiral. ....Shouldn't she be in a ''[[KarmaHoudini prison??]]''
-->--'''WebVideo/RedLetterMedia'''

->'''Janeway:''' Hello, Jean-Luc. I'm an Admiral, [[DudeWheresMyReward and you're not.]]\\
'''Picard:''' Fuck off, bitch. I saved Earth a half-dozen times and all you did was find your way back there after getting lost.
