happy voyager gleee party!

"Shattered" is absolutely my favorite episode of Voyager EVARR. It might even be my favorite episode of TEEVEE evarrr. It is that FULL OF JOY.

Yeah, there are continuity problems and other things that Make Trek Geeks Flail And Go "But Wait!" but it's just a totally faboo episode concept. I'd love it if every show would have an episode where characters from the (beaten, broken, matured) end of the series could interact with the (naive, excitable, hopeful) characters from the beginning. Think how much that would rock on, say, The X-Files -- where this could never have been an episode, but whatev -- if 9th-season Mulder got the chance to redeem himself by going back in time and trying to save a first-season Scully, who wouldn't trust him and who is all Time Travel Is Impossible, MULDER. It would be awesome!

This could be because I love first seasons of just about everything.

So yes. Favorite episode of Voyager ever.

My family has had extensive debates on the following topic for many many years, and I would like to know where the internet stands. For the record:

Shattered was quite a fab episode.

And re: your poll, no way could they have NOT done it. They were way too comfortable with one another by the end of the series, there. I call, at the very least, Casual Fuck Buddies. After all, as the Doctor said, it is unhealthy to restrain one's self from having any relations at all! You must have a healthy sexual relationship! Chakotay was just helping a girl out.. that's all. *g*

Robert Beltran is an ass of a man, and once I found that out I stopped liking Chakotay. He hated the show by the end, and talked shit about other actors. I feel like it really translated into his acting by seasons 6/7. So Janeway deserves better, and I wish Kashyk hadn't gone to the dark side again.

Shattered is the episode in which I saw the potential for a relationship between the adults Naomi and Icheb. The two of them working side by side like that... yep, that was how I was inspired :)

I would like to footnote my reply above by saying that I think that LOTS of the doing it was in that six weeks during which Voyager was flying back from the Vidiians' ship and AFTER the scene in this icon. I think there may have been a few more "just one more time"...or not...in that next season (including the showing up together at the holodeck party with leis like in your icon).

I hope, for Chakotay's sake and dignity, that there was not much more after that, and that he wasn't also a sex toy whilst simultaneously being the whipping boy and, "Go to your room, young man" of the Crazy!Janeway seasons.
