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:

See, I'm really quite torn about the Doing It. I think they probably didn't, actually, but that doesn't mean they didn't do lots of OTHER things, you know? I can see them being the sort of people to make arbitrary lines about "well, THIS counts as sex and wrong, and THIS is just totally fine."

It all comes down to New Earth. If they did it on New Earth, then they totally would have become fuckbuddies on Voyager. If they didn't -- because, hey, they had their WHOLE LIVES ahead of them so they might as well take it slow, right? -- then they'll probably ever go as far on Voyager as they did on the planet. Zis is my thinkingk.

Should we all run and hide before you introduce a Voyager version of Pants!Verse?

*laughs* That might be a good idea, yeah. ;)

But I do think that would fit with Janeway's define-parameters character pretty well. They might kiss a bit behind closed doors, but I think their denial is a little less complete than Sam&Jack's in pants!verse -- Janeway would probably go "wait, stop" well before they start groping each other on the couch.
