By Bob's own admission, The Doctor's personality was partly formulated by the way he interpreted and presented his character eventually leading to one of the most dramatic character developments of any character.

Nikyah Brewer

Not too fond of this episode, but looking forward to watching this podcast. Love you guys. I can't wait to see you rewatch some of my upcoming favorites.

Matthew Gravens

I love "The Phage" as an episode that really telegraphs a lot of important character concepts about the crew. Between Janeway detecting a lifesign 20 meters away and gathering the whole posse to run them down and get more information only to find the situation is far deeper than expected, Neelix asking if the Doctor was programmed to sing(planting that seed that grew into entire episodes later), and even the moral quandary between Neelix asking The Doctor to let him take his own life, this one is absolutely one of the ones I find a hard hitter in Season 1. So many different threads to see laid down that will be brought up again and again in the whole series. Excellent episode and podcast! The Doctor slapping Tom to prove a point gets me every time I see it.

Charity Ponton

This is one of my favorite episodes primarily for how the Janeway character is portrayed. My tabletop role playing self knows that this is the episode where she really seals the deal on being lawful good (not my favorite alignment to rp but perfect for a Starfleet captain). In her speech to the Vadians she does seem near tears, but it's from trying to contain her rage. Really great performance by Kate Mulgrew. And an extra special thanks for having Robert Picardo on! He is one charming fella and I just can't get enough of him!

Richard Moesbergen

Always look forward to getting my notice of your latest upload - love your segments, esp the "Janeway or the Highway" 🤣

Liz Scott

Thanks for another awesome recap, this has definitely been a highlight to look forward too. It’s been really cool so far to hear about the episodes from a different perspective and learn about a show that is definitely one of my favorites.

Katie Puterbaugh

Another great recap! Cracked me up when the Doctor slapped Tom and then watching Robbie's reaction 😂

Stephanie Baker

Great way to spend Sunday evening. I enjoyed the whole thing, especially the bit with Bob Picardo describing Tom Paris as a teenager who has do a chore before going out. Garrett and Robbie highlight all the interesting stuff: funny, behind the scenes, serious, mechanical problems.

Matt

The Phage was one of those landmark episodes that started what would be a continuing storyline for multiple episodes. It's always so cool to see a new alien species introduced and begin to see how they will affect Voyager's travels through the delta quadrant.

Matt

Such a cool insight from Robbie; this was an episode that established the Doctor as an important part of the show. I never realized this was THAT episode for the Doc but I can definitely see it.

Matt

It's so interesting, every series has that one character you love to hate. Early on in the series I really thought the Doc was going to be that guy for me. Boy, was I ever wrong. :) His character development was just amazing, such a credit to the writers and Bob Picardo for the growth what has become one of my favorite characters in all of Trek. His unique tone and mannerisms, and the way he subtly changed over the years was fun to watch.

Breana Harris

I love all the interesting character and thematic issues this episode lends itself to, way more than I realized! I always figured the thing with the Doctor is that he was supposed to be such a temporary and limited program and yet he has all this technical life and death knowledge, nobody could really predict what his motivations or personality would evolve into when he's given more of an existence than he was intended to have. It would be neat if you could have Brannon Braga as a guest sometime cause he sounds so awesome, on top of being a great writer. Also I love the bonus materials graphics, they're so cute.

Matt

Shout out to everyone on the team who make this new podcast so amazing, Thank You! and, from a big fan, you can never have too much of Bob Picardo! :)

GAY Kleven-Lundstrom

After watching "Phage" I really felt the cast was just starting to get their footing. One of my favorite episodes. Thank you for sharing all the tidbits about this episode. Thanks to everyone who put this podcast together.

Ann Harding

Another interesting recap. I liked Robert Picardo's take that one of the reasons liked Kes so much was that Kes, unlike Tom, was actually interested in medicine.

Jon Stevenson

Such an awesome recap guys! This was a great episode in the first season. It really set the tone for the severity of the Voyager crew’s situation and being the only Federation starship in the DQ and having to encounter other species in really screwed up situations themselves. It’s fascinating to hear your interpretations/reflections on here and what a treat it was to see Robert Picardo and Watch him describe his process! Can’t wait for next week! 🖖🏿

Erica Larabee

I love it when Robert Picardo pops in for his interview snippets. I had never considered the fact that he would have to be so precise with his line delivery due to being a computer program. That was an excellent insight into his character and really makes me appreciate his excellent line delivery every episode. And when he talks about how he could pause in his delivery when he was coming up with the holo-lung idea because he was thinking, the word that kept popping in my head was that he was "extrapolating." I've heard Star Trek characters tell the computer to do just that.

Chris Wickham

Seeing clips of Bobbie watching the episode was a massive highlight for me. More of this please <3

Mohamed Noor

Great episode/ recap! Thank you! I also really liked that Picardo used neighbor kids to practice lines... ha ha!

Adriana Guerra

Yay! Thank you for making my Mondays awesome! The Delta Flyers podcast is getting its grove each week. I really enjoy your reaction Robert while re watching the episodes LOL you are like "What?!" LOL Hey Garrett we need to see your reaction too bud. And Robert Picardo..I mean love love him. Can't wait for next episode. Bear hugs from Chicago 👏👏👍😎😎🐻🐻

Samuel Beardsley

Absolutely loving what you guys are doing! Voyager has always been one of my favourites, so all the insights into the behind the scenes stuff really is fascinating to me. Loving the Enterprise jealousy too - "those bastards!"

Andrea Mahoney Ross

Another great podcast! It brings me back to the excitement and joy I had when Voyager was airing and now adds more to my understanding of the characters and story. I completely feel for Tom being dismissed as “just” a medic, a lot of people don’t appreciate the knowledge and skills that we have and write us off as barely there. We’re still referred to as “ambulance drivers” in our time and it’s so far from being the most important part of what we do. Being a medic is different than being a nurse or a doctor, we work in any weather, building, room or environment and have only the tools and knowledge we bring with us and make the best of what we’ve got to get people back to a higher level of care and rehabilitation. We’ve got your back Tom! 😄🖖🏼

Baila

Just a comment on the dr. It's made clear in the second episode I believe that he's supposed to have a bed side manner to make patients relax. So he has feelings built in. He also knows he's supposed to only be on for emergency's and because he has feelings for patients he's able to evolve and be frustrated.

Chloe E

A week late in watching this, but finally got around to it. Robbie's reaction to his character being slapped cracked me up! I definitely feel like early on Tom Paris wouldn't just stand there meekly after someone slapped him...he would jump on him before he had a chance to alter his program! Also, Bob talking about paying his neighbor's kids to run lines with him...what a great job for a teenager to have. I had to actually babysit and pick up dog poop for money! XD

Jeremiah Brown

Garrett, cracks me up with his Janeway. I cant get enough of it LOL

Jeremiah Brown

Samantha, it's always Janeway or the Highway. Remember on top of Weird being part of the job for Starfleet Officer's there's also 3 ways of doing things The Right Way, The Wrong Way and The Janeway. :)

The Irish Buddhist

Touching on Garrett's 'Janeway or The Highway'. The emotional changes we experience with her seem to capture a sudden realization of just how real this all about to get, how unyielding the Delta Quadrant was becoming to the lone Federation ship, and that right here and right now she needed to make a stand; Captain Kathryn Janeway will Not be bullied, keep your hands off her crew, and Voyager is a force to be reckoned with.

Mark Shuler

Something Garrett said about how....Neelix in his potentially forever living in the clam shell and that knowledge accelerating any underlying emotions etc., reminded me of something my lovely wife Dawn said about Covid-19 that was similar. She actually created a podcast about this phenomenon. . The idea is that when a significant life event/change occurs it accelerates things that may have been at a level 2 and moves them to higher levels 5,6,7.

Mark Shuler

Nother comment. The clam shell unfortunately brings back images during the Polio epedmic, of the Iron Lungs where many spent their final hours.

Guillermo Ponce

If anyone has been watching on Netflix with subtitles on...sometimes it says "Dr. Zimmerman" whenever the Doctor spoke...anyone notice that...it doesn't happen too much.

Chris Lewis

I always considered The Doctor being self-conscious due to something to do with the bio-neural circuitry and being in the Delta Quadrant. Meh.

Carmen Puente

You know, funny that you mention this. It’s the fact that the EMH Mark 1 had such a horrific bedside manner ultimately leads to his model getting cancelled and sent to scrub plasma conduits on transport barges, but because this particular EMHM1 is stuck running continuously, he gets to evolve and ultimately becomes what his program was intended to be; a caring, sometimes brusque, medical hologram.

Carmen Puente

Might be an unpopular opinion, but the Kes/Neelix pairing always gave me the creeps. It was very uncomfortable for me. Neelix’s jealousy also made me dislike this character strongly in the first couple of seasons. He felt like the pedophilic old man trying to control access to his chosen victim.

Harlon Rotnour
>>46446617

The problem there is that your placing human values on Alien beings. Your stuck on Kess's Age being only 2 which in our species is definitely creepy and amorle, but she nor nelix are human... It's like Commander Tucker says in the first Season of Enterprise, "Mama told me not to judge another species by thier eating habits."

Cass
>>46446617

Neelix was definitely older/more experienced than Kes (who was specifically portrayed as young, naïve, and innocent); however, sometimes I got the impression that maybe he's not actually supposed to be that old. That said, I never liked the relationship either. I just didn't really see why they were together other than they met before the show started. Also, his jealousy always seemed extreme and very unappealing. I get some green feelings, but Neelix was intense and instantaneous and often out of the blue IMO and memory.

Tacy Muzzy
>>37678638

Absolutely, Carmen! I've always loved that deeper message in the Doctor's arc.

Tacy Muzzy

I like the theme discussion. I think it's definitely an overarching theme in all of Star Trek--when do the ends justify the means? And i've always liked the Vidian storyline that examines this over and over. This comes up again in several future episodes with the second Federation ship they encounter as well Year of Hell, etc.

Eric Leitman
>>46446617

I totally agree with you Harlon. If we ever enter a future where humans will be interacting with other worldly beings, then as humans, would have to learn not to judge their ways as their ways could have existed for thousands of years before humans ever existed.
