Well, dear. When a mommy sack growing alien and a daddy spacial anomaly love each other…
Chakotay keeps throwing the line out there but Janeway ain’t biting.
Neelix is such an ass. Oh if you have a kid, you don’t get to keep studying. jerkface.
“Raising a child on a starship!!”
I would have loved to be raised on a starship.
oh, Tuvok. You Vulcan, with your emotions, you.
“It is so much more overwhelming than you expect” that is what I’ve heard
However, I must point out that as illogical as it seems, being a father can have infinite rewards. Far more than would seem possible. My children occupy a significant portion of my thoughts, now more than ever
Kick him in the ass, Tuvok, you love all of your children and have relationships with all of them regardless of their gender. <3
That being said, he is open to listening to Tuvok. As ignorant as Neelix is, they treat him kindly and offer suggestions and guidance. That’s when Star Trek works.
Agreed. I just get annoyed when Neelix is particularly cretin-ish.
The writing staff and Ken Biller decided how intense to show the relationship between Kes and Neelix. “That was a big discussion,” Biller recalled. “I wanted them to be living together and doing it, but Jeri [Taylor] and Rick [Berman] had some concerns that she is so young. Are we sending the right message to say that they are screwing? Isn’t it more interesting if we show the time they have to first confront this issue? […] We [ultimately] suggested the bizarreness of alien sex. For example, they will have to be bonded for seven days and you see the look on Neelix’s face that he was metaphorically going to have to keep it up for seven days. So we were trying to play with the weirdness of alien sexuality.”
“If all we know, they were setting us up for an attack!”
You asked for it walking around shaking your nacelles in their face. Flirt!
Yeah. That’s why I threw the UGH! out there in the beginning of the episode. I like Neelix. I just don’t like the way they wrote him around Kes. Yet this shows us how to be around annoying folks. Share yourself and hope they’re as open as Neelix is to understanding. Sadly. Folks at times are not which frustrates.
There must be something in the air today, I had a similar conversation with a colleague on this very topic this morning.
“You heard her Mr Paris. Make the best of it.”
That would have been great to splice that line in when Paris and B’Elanna become an item.
awww. It was very sweet.
Voyager. Is. Being. Raped. :eek:
Chakotay, just be direct!
Voyager is showing its belly.
Awww. Who’s a good starship!!! Awwww.
hence my earlier comment about consent in this episode being very problematic.
“We’ve lost our sex appeal.”
BWHAHAHAHAHA!!!
