THOUGHTS: 05/24/2023: "Prophecy" played out like a bad sitcom episode - hilarious scenes nevertheless. "The New Odd Couple: Tuvok And Neelix As Roomies" spinoff hahaha. That would certainly be hilarious. Podcast quote of the day: Harry traumatized, Neelix satisfied haha. Traumatized - that's me in a nutshell. Traumatized finding out that Neelix aka Ethan Phillips was on "Benson" haha. Looked and sounded the same - only with less wrinkles and more hair back then haha. 05/09/2023: Serious episodes are few and far between in Voyager. There might be exciting ones, strictly funny / silly ones, etc. But serious, controversial episodes are rare. "Lineage" tops them all in my opinion. It is probably the most relatable with a very relevant, real topic. *This is an episode worth multiple listenings. "Lineage" was loaded in heavy subject matter - past trauma, racial issues, feeling ashamed / self-hatred for how you look, medical / physical alteration procedures (C'mon - cosmetic or plastic surgeries happen in Korean culture unfortunately). Being "Klingon" or "part-Klingon" is metaphoric - it is exactly like being a minority race in real life. Especially if you're Asian. Garrett knows it all too well. Bobby Lee probably knows it all too well haha. And so do I. Although I was fortunate enough never to have experienced extreme bullying, I was teased / ignored. Asian Guys go through that. Having self-esteem is probably the most important aspect of a person in shaping their lives positively. With this very deep episode, there had to be humorous or light moments. For sure, Robbie - I'll make sure to blurt out "Hey - Take It Easy!" next time hahaha. Also - we find out Harry Kim snores, sleeps on lumpy pillows and keeps his quarters like a sauna haha. 04/18/2023: "Nightingale" - I was waiting for this one. It is one of my favorites, to each their own I guess. I enjoyed the story, the visuals and the directing. It showcased Mr. Kim's heroism and command abilities, as well as his newbiness at the start (micro-managing haha). Of course there can't be any meaningful character development in any 1 episode - not enough time. They say you shouldn't even bother if you can't do it - but I'll take it. I actually found the Icheb infatuation side story quite humorous - when did anything in this show make any sense to begin with. It's all about humor now. There really is no other episodes in this final season to look forward to after this - other than perhaps, Author Author and Endgame. I felt that the final two seasons of Voyager tanked. This web page of mine is up in the air as well, after the Delta Flyers podcast finishes once it is over. I might keep it or remove it, depending on future news or what the dynamic duo decide to do in terms of keeping fans in it. It is similar to the "Cobra Kai" fan page. Other notables: RIP to the patreon patron. It is always sad to hear that kind of story. And who knows - Garrett's career might have taken off had he met with Cameron Crowe for that film haha. Or - perhaps Mr. Crowe just wanted to meet him and nothing else. There were no guarantees. 03/06/2023: "Imperfections" is not even close to "perfect". It's actually the opposite - a complete mess. Again, I agree with Robbie. The only notables - the actors lookin' tanned during filming haha. What - did they just come off a Caribbean cruise? Also - Janeway fidgeting or lookin' distracted during a scene, as if the person forgot that filming for the scene began haha. 02/13/2023: I guess this is the scene where Tom gets zapped by the alien anomaly, and others were more concerned about the hologram destabilizing than Tom writhing in anguish hahaha. 
"The Haunting Of Deck Twelve" was a nice ghost story. Most likely a Halloween episode. 01/30/2023: I enjoyed "Fury" - although they might have damaged Kes' reputation as a character portraying her as a "villain"-type, the story as well as her return was enough to enjoy the episode as part of my favorites. Kes was also villainous in "Warlord", but I guess that doesn't count since Kes was possessed. Yeah - I think most of us would trust auto-piloting than Paris' skills haha. ARCHIVED ENTRIES THE ART OF VAPORIZING RSG'S MUHAHA
FAVORITE TREK TECHNOLOGY Although the transporter, phaser, and the tricorder are the usual Trek technology that fans know about, here are some of my favorites: Replicators: Instead of having to prepare a meal or going out to get something to eat, who wouldn't want a scrumptious burger or a meal appear instantly right in front of them. It's a neat piece of technology for sure. The Holodeck: This is something that sure keeps the crew preoccupied for enjoyment when not on duty, and it sure passes the time away. Although everything created is in holographic form, a person better watch out if the safety protocols are not on heheh. Astrometrics: Utilized for stellar cartography and other celestial observations and analysis, this is sort of like a jacked up observatory or planetarium with holographic dimensions and much more advanced technology. As an Astronomy enthusiast, I'd certainly wouldn't mind spending time here....if it were real of course. An updated lab was designed by Kim on board Voyager; with some collaboration thanks to borg efficiency. Mobile Emitter: A mobile device that allows a hologram or a holographic person to go places and enter areas outside the confines of their activation place. They can also be stored in it.
