Its like my morning drink. A base of coffee with a chocolate supplement mix and some vitamin drops added in. Plus cream. I have a hard time swallowing pills, lol.

Angela Conley

I have always really liked this episode. Most of her hallucinations make sense but not the come hither alien. She isnt even supposed to have the social skills to imagine that performance up. Most such things are based on hopes or fears. Delete him and use someone she actually knew. But the Borg stuff at the end was a good touch.

Angela Conley

Also. Voyager is always rationing things, but suddenly they have the power or whatever to replicate 150+ stasis chambers? Also, how could stasis protect anyone from radiation that the darn ship can't protect them from?

SnazzyO

Pain reaction: I once had a histamine reaction instantly drive me to my knees and I pressed my hand to my forehead. So.. it can happen. The Doctor teaching Seven humanity is a bit like German person who just learned French teaching French to an Englishman. It works because they stick to survival skills and know what parts are confusing. Tom has claustrophobia- well earned from his multiple times he’s been in prison or detained S1: Caretaker (Auckland), Ex Post Facto, Faces plus held hostage in Time and Again S2: The 37’s (hostage), Threshold (sickbay forcefield), Investigations (Kazon) S3: The Chute, Fair Trade, Displaced S4: Year of Hell, Vis-A-Vis (near miss) … and that’s before S5. Just saying ….he’s got reasons to fear being trapped.

The biggest hole for me was the ending. 11 minutes to go when she turns on life support. There would be plenty of oxygen in that ship to support one person for much longer than 11 minutes, and the heat isn't going to sap out.

Lee Stroud

Agree wholeheartedly! PLUS almost suffocating in a space suit not once, but TWICE (“Day of Honor” and “Devil”).

Dee McGee

Bob Picardo stated in multiple interviews that the "student becoming the teacher", as it were, was intentional when they were discussing what the Doctor/Seven relationship was going to be.

Dee McGee

* I would love to hear the story of how Ken Biller became show runner. * That graphic of Janeway and Chakotay in their own stasis chamber!! * Many naps were taken in those stasis chambers. * It was intentional that they chose the Doctor to teach Seven about humanity. * Garrett and Robbie, we love you and your authentic selves! * Robbie definitely would have passed the time by inventing the Captain Proton program.

Don Eitner

I always took Paris getting out of his stasis pod as part of Seven's hallucinations from being confronted with loneliness for the first time, that he never actually got out.

Dustin Snyder

Hey now, Bob from accounting is very good at putting out fires.... in the books.

Andrew Murray

Robbie, you're entitled to not remember this one since you're in stasis for 45 minutes. I'm sure the borg queen features in another couple like UniMatrix Zero (not sure if that's Susannah (Thompson) or Alice (Krige), as well as End Game.

Andrew Murray

so the doc makes a 1000,000 SPF+ sunblock to counter the radiation.

Andrew Murray

Janeway ought to have her own musical theme. Like the Imperial March. (but not so....evil).

Andrew Murray

I think we need to go further than stasis chambers for a mere 30 days........cryogenic hibernation - for 50 years.

Andrew Murray

With everyone else out of the picture for the majority, that'd be a lot of work for Bob and Jeri being practically in every scene, and carrying the episode plot.

Andrew Murray

The doc should have said "I should remind you Seve, that warp plasma and borg do not mix. You recall what happened too the Borg Queen in 2063, don't you. That's the day you people (Borg....) tried to prevent ...us (Star fleet) from ever existing!"

Andrew Murray

wouldn't that be Holonetic oblivion? The doc is not a cyborg. SEVEN's the cyborg!

Andrew Murray

The alien's on the bridge from which you can do practically anything with the ship except apparently transfer Helm to Tactical....?

Samantha

The frozen tundra dream was just a manifestation of seven feeling alone.

Samantha

I also am for very sparse dutch angles. They can be so distracting and almost look like a desperate attempt to make a scene more interesting. Sparingly is good.

Luise

Seeing as most toxic substances affect smaller persons/children more than bigger people, and the nebula actually killed one luckless crewmember, how did toddler Naomi Wildman survive first contact with the Nebula? I have two ideas to explain this: 1) something in Naomi's Ktarian genes make her a little more resistant to the nebula, or 2) poor Crewman Redshirt had an especially harsh reaction to it, i.e., maybe he was allergic or something.

Karen

On the Star Trek Prodigy soundtrack, the last song is "Admiral Janeway's Theme." :) It's very inspiring and heroic sounding.

Luise

Nobody knows the conversion between Fahrenheit and Celsius. Absolutely nobody in the whole wide world. I will die on this hill.

tom getting out 4 times to me says subconscious unresolved issues with being in prison

Jenny

So I'm early in this episode, but wanted to catch maybe any of our ADMIRALS who might see this if they'd also be interested in it as a Transwarp Conduit question for Nothing Human - after it came up Jeri Taylor wrote this episode and Robbie's comments, I checked and this was her second to last script - her last one was Nothing Human. Which is *really* interesting because she wrote Mosaic, and worked multiple references to Janeway's backstory as she wrote there into S2-3 as alpha canon - and in Mosaic, Janeway and Admiral Paris were Cardiassian prisoners on her first assignment. My guess is Robbie and Kate never knew about that backstory to play it in subtext, but it gets really interesting given the debate in Nothing Human - in-world, I'd imagine Tom did know about this, and Janeway obviously did, giving them a fair amount of validity to their positions. (Basically up there with the Bajoran character, though obviously below B'Elanna's stake.) That always really informed how a lot of us viewed some of those scenes in Nothing Human, having watched in real-time 2-3 years after Mosaic came out, but I hadn't realized that Jeri Taylor scripted that episode as well. Not sure where the question is here, but really interesting to me, especially given where Janeway and Paris fell on the ethical issue. I'd always assumed that by that time in S5, whoever wrote that episode was unaware of Jeri Taylor's backstory for Janeway and Admiral Paris, but it was actually the exact same writer. (For the exact script, if not the broader story creation.)

Janet Potts

It makes sense to me that the Doctor is teaching Seven how to be more human because he's been through that learning curve himself. He had Kes who, while an alien, was much closer to being "human" in her ability to empathize and have casual conversations with the rest of the crew. She passed that knowledge on to the Doctor so he could learn to interact with people on the ship. There's an old adage about the best way to learn being, watch one, do one, teach one.

Kris Hansen

Garrett commented that Tom looked like he was smiling while calling for help in Engineering. I used to run half miles in track in high school. Apparently my determined/in pain/open mouth to breath expression looked like I was grinning from ear to ear and my coach would tell me that if I could still smile, I wasn't running fast enough. :-) I relate to Tom!

James Morrow

I appreciated both your responses regarding my question about a singular fear. You both were very open and honest. Also, the Rebeccanimations were wonderful. My fav was Paris and his Teddy, but JC in Stasis really made me chuckle. Thank you all!!!

Eric Leitman

I would have spent the entire month on the holideck in a virtual voyager with the entire crew. Transfer all ship commands to the virtual bridge.

Christopher Collins

I would love a shirt or button that said “You will not be accommodated” then make it a logo at a hotel. I bet all the hotels would love that shirt. I could see some employees would totally laugh and say Yes! I wish I could say that to some customers I have had to work with in the past.

Christopher Collins

I had no idea about that jack story originally planned between Janeway and Paris. That is news to me. I also had no idea that this was one of the last episodes written by Jeri Taylor. Until the Delta Flyers podcast I thought she was around the entire show rather than leaving by season 4 or 5 as a writer.

Christopher Collins

Until Robbert Duncan McNeil mentioned it I never caught that continuity error in this episode and I have rewatched this episode many times over the years. I can’t believe I never caught that error over the years. When Robert Duncan McNeil mentioned it it was so strange Because it was like oh yeah you are right why did they mention the Fahrenheit temperature rather than the Celsius temperature.

Christopher Collins

I was surprised that up to this point One was the shortest titled episode in Star Trek till Q2 then E2 in Star Trek Enterprise. I would have thought that TNG or DS9 would have had some short titles. But I think DS9 wins for having the most episodes with long episodes titles.

Christopher Collins

The EMH would not have known about the events of Star Trek First Contact just yet. Voyager got stuck in the Delta Quadrant back before the events of First Contact during season 3 of DS9 and First Contact takes place during midway of season 5 of DS9. Only way the EMH would have known that fact is from the episode Message in a Bottle if he had been told or programmed with had had happened in the Alpha Quadrant all the time since Voyager was stuck. Or if the crew was informed through the Data-stream letter using the Herogen communication arrays about what happened in the film First Contact. Now we know from The episodes Year of Hell & Relativity that 7 of 9 was already well away of what the Borg attempted during the film First Contact.

Christopher Collins

I think this episode was written and made to save money on budget and be a Bottle episode. That is one reason why 7 of 9 does not look great in the blue screen room for the snow scene or the Borg Drone walking was not as great. I bet they rushed to try and finish those scenes as quickly as possible to get him out of the Borg outfit ASAP.

Christopher Collins

I wonder since the Bio-neural Gel-packs are emitting radiation effecting 7 of 9 was it effecting the crew while in the stasis pods towards the end of the episode or was the stasis pod protecting the crew from the radiation.

Christopher Collins

I think my redos for this episode is redo the Kirk over acting impression reactions as you over react when first going into the Nebula and instead do a different kind reactions to the nebula.

Christopher Collins

I think my other redo would be the Borg Drone because I also thought the drone acted too human and was not that intimidating as the drone should have been. The other thing would have been to have that alien 7 of 9 was imaging in her mind appear again after getting out of the Nebula contacting Voyager making you wonder if 7 of 9 was day dreaming him or if she really did interact with this alien.

Christopher Collins

I always thought it was bizarre that the EMH was teaching 7 of 9 how to be human when in the first three seasons it was Kes teaching the EMH how to be human because the EMH lacked the personality and bedside manner at the beginning of season 1. I agree with Garrett that a human figure like Harry Kim or Tom Paris should have been teaching 7 of 9 how to be more human more than the EMH who is not human.

Christopher Collins

I never realized Voyager cast or Kirk avoided touching their hair for those reactions until that question was asked. I never made that connection. I thought it was their forehead that hurt rather than touch their hair would not have made sense to me.

Eric Bennett

The discussion about the Doctor teaching Seven about humanity was somewhat covered earlier. Kes was the one who helped the Doctor turn into who he was and be independent and extend beyond his program. When Kes left and Seven came onboard, the Doctor had become more of an individual and was passing on what he had learned from Kes to Seven. I really liked that analogy.

Is nutritional supplement 14 beta 7 actually coffee?

Interwebs say translation of alone is (not with other people) 独(獨)自的 (dúzì de) According to interwebs, this is the 4th shortage of helium. There a handful of plants making it in the whole world and mishaps and maintenance issues have put many of them out of commission for many months. Also Pres Clinton privatized helium management and sold off all the Govt reserves at a loss also driving down the price and the desire to make any of it. It has been a while since the boys were fixated on how many crew were on the ship and how many have died/ left, etc so here is an update: Starting with a figure of 141 crew minus 38 dead (including Seska and the crewman in this episode, plus 42 added (Kes, Neelix, Maquis, Seven) and minus 2 left the ship (Kes and Linsey Ballard) gives us 144 at this point. Episode needed a soft version of "Just the two of us" playing in the background. Just the two of us We can make it if we try Just the two of us (Just the two of us) Just the two of us Its a Doctor and a Borg Just the two of us You and I There is an error at about 12:55 in the Episode when Seven is dictating her log. She states that "this is our 10 day in the Mutara Nebula". This is NOT the Mutara Nebula. It is a Mutara TYPE Nebula as stated by Kim. The Mutara Nebula is where Kirk fought Khan in STII: TWOK movie. She says it again at about 22:35.
