History WMG / StarTrekVoyager

* Chakotay is RobinHood: Not only was he a leader of outlaws once, but even now he constantly rebels against authority to do what he believes is right. He tends to root for the underdog. On the downside, he’s easily lured into a trap (like Robin Hood lured to the archery contest). True, his tribe never used bows and arrows; but this was an intentional part of the memory curse, because if he remembered how good he was at shooting, he’d be unstoppable.

* No, they're ''from'' [[Recap/BabylonFiveFilm02Thirdspace Thirdspace]]. Think about it. It's AnotherDimension even from the ''Series/BabylonFive'' perspective, and would likewise be one from the ''Star Trek'' universe's perspective as well. They're a kind of EldritchAbomination. They use OrganicTechnology and LivingShip[=s=]. They all possess {{Telepathy}}. They seem to have purged all other species from their dimension. Like the Vorlons, the Borg punched through into their dimension. Unlike the Vorlons, the Borg invaded in force, causing the aliens to retaliate. Sub-space is much less "solid" in the ''Trek'' universe, as even fairly primitive species can access it. Thus it was much easier for the aliens to simply open up portals into the ''Trek'' verse, as opposed to needing an InterdimensionalTravelDevice the way they would in ''B5''.

** Wait, what? That's like saying Child Services is wrong for not allowing kids with StockholmSyndrome to return to an outrageously abusive family, that's also raising them to commit crimes against humanity.

[[WMG: There was less than seven years left on Paris' sentence]]
Hence why it is a non-issue by the time they get back in regular touch with Starfleet, the agreement included a clause about Paris' service on Voyager counting against the time left on the sentence, and because Paris got stuck on Voyager for years instead of the intended couple of months, the sentence was already finished by the later seasons (once Starfleet updated the records to account for him being alive for those years, of course).

Had Janeway used the array to get home... for starters, all the Maquis are going to prison. Second, Voyager is eventually forced to fight in the Dominion War, where many(if not all) of the crew may end up dead. Lots of ships and lots of people were lost. The odds of any of the existing crew surviving weren't great. Tom Paris also ends up as a drifter, pardoned but learning nothing. At best Tuvok is cured of his illness faster. Then, in the Delta quadrant, the Kazon repair the array and use it to steal tech from around the galaxy, allowing them to potentially become a serious threat. None of the people that Voyager would encounter ever meet them so many end up worse off. Species 8472 MIGHT destroy the Borg, but then again the Borg may have eventually figured out a viable weapon(if the EMH could reprogram nanoprobes, so can the beings that have them in abundance). If 8472 did win they may stick to their plan to obliterate all life outside of their realm(it took Janeway discussing it with them and a lot of luck to get them to even hold off on their plans). Seven definitely does not become an individual regardless. Oh and what happened to Amelia Earhart is never answered.

"So this is some sort of virtual reality construct, what my people call a [[Film/TheMatrix Matrix]]." Add to that the Borg call divisions of drones--and regions of space--Unimatrices...

[[WMG: Seven's GagBoobs were given to her by the Doctor]]
From "The Gift", we see that the Doctor was responsible for both Seven's SpyCatsuit and her hair growth. Her... [[UnusualEuphemism Borg Spheres]] go unexplained, but it's fairly obvious that she didn't have them as a drone.
* But she did! Don't you remember the final shot of "Scorpion, Part Two", with pre-catsuit Seven lying on the biobed while the camera tracks across her prominently-raised Borg implants? ''Besides they are what actress Jeri Ryan actually had, so of course she had them all along''

* The Federation spaceships like the Enterprise were not military ships, they were for diplomacy and exploration, the Federation does have ships for deep space and dangerous missions that do not have places for children or families (the Defiance for example). Even when diplomacy and exploration can be dangerous, clearly is not less dangerous that having colonies or space stations, we see a lot of colonies getting destroyed by alien forces and all the things that happens in ''[=DS9=]'', so why leave Earth for that matter if you’re afraid of people getting kill then don’t have ships, nor space stations nor colonies. And like exploration may take many many years, who would volunteer to go if they can’t bring their families with them? Also you couldn’t let crew-members having romances and relationships among them because pregnancies can happen, and don’t let them have pets either because to some degree putting animals in danger is very similar as putting children, so you’ll have an entire ship of sexually frustrated, lonely and depressive explorers doing diplomatic work and handling many first contact situation. Clearly the idea in general is that people in exploration ships are not military, they’re scientists, explorers, diplomats, etc., even though some have certain military training, and thus is necessary for them to have husbands/wives, children, pets, etc., like any normal person, otherwise the ships will be mostly empty. And for the danger, again, is not more dangerous than living in a colony anyway.

* Seven of Nine is Disney/TheLittleMermaid: She wants to become “part of our world,” but is hindered by having a different physiology and life experience. She is alluringly beautiful, with a gorgeous singing voice, but also possesses deadly powers. She is willing to sacrifice her own life and desire to become human to save those she cares about (“Dark Frontier.”) She even play-flirts with a holographic Chakotay, not unlike the mermaid play-flirting with her statue of the prince.

* Tom Paris is Disney/{{Aladdin}}: He starts off as a delinquent nobody, but ends up flying around on a super powerful starship/magic carpet. He works with the genie/doctor. He uses his wits to defeat powerful enemies (as in “Basics.”) He wins over the princess/chief engineer, though she didn’t want him at first.

* Seska is the [[Disney/SnowWhite Evil Queen]]: She wears a disguise to fool people into thinking she’s an innocent friend. She’s power-hungry, and uses her sexuality to manipulate men. She’s an engineering genius (comparable to being a genius with mixing potions and spells). She makes plans with her fellow schemers though a private laptop screen, much like talking to a magic mirror.

* The Borg Queen is the [[Disney/TheLittleMermaid Sea Witch]]: She forces people to make “deals with the devil” with her, in order to reach their goal safely, or protect those they love. She turns innocents into subservient monsters, like Ursula transforms merfolk into those worm-things. She terrorizes starships, not unlike a sea monster terrorizing ships on the sea. Even her face is kinda’ fishy-looking.

* Neelix is the [[Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast Beast]]: He’s hideous looking, but manages to land a beautiful girlfriend. He’s obnoxious and selfish and first, but learns to respect and embrace others. He watches out for others, not unlike a prince watching out for his subjects. He cooks banquets and wants everyone to *be his guest.*

* Counselor Troi is the [[Disney/{{Pinocchio}} Blue Fairy]]: ‘Nuff said.

* Joe Carry is [[Disney/{{Pinocchio}} Jiminy Cricket]]: His defining character trait is that he wants to do everything by the book. When Torres is made Chief Engineer, she admits that he can help her become familiar with the rules. He is only seen every now and then in bit parts, not unlike an insect buzzing around, only landing in sight now and then.

* So would that make Chakotay [[LordOfTheRings Treebeard]]?

* It's hard to tell if this is actually a TearJerker, or a CrowningMomentOfFunny.

[[WMG: The day after Voyager gets home, Seven of Nine is killed by slipping on a banana skin and Tuvok has a shuttlecraft land on him]]

* Kes is WesternAnimation/{{Thumbelina}}: She loves flowers, and has the personality of a fairy princess. She ages ridiculously fast. She seems young and frail at first, but new powers begin to emerge (a la Thumbelina growing her wings).
