Love the shorter beard, Robbie!

Labrek

Technically,the inertial dampers are the seat belt.anything strong enough to shake you from those would likely horribly injure you if you were in a seatbelt

SnazzyO

1) If the inertial dampeners we’re offline, the crew that were not pancaked on Decks 10-15, would have been ‘spam in a can’ - no bodies, just smears would have been left. Borg tech may have been salvageable. 2) Harry and Tom are ‘ride or die’ buddies. Tom was willing to trust in Harry’s abilities to ‘make it work’ - and Harry did. It just took him 15 years, a temporal prime directive violation, and Grand Theft Shuttle. But Harry came through. 3) Seriously though, if TOM thinks it’s too risky, you really need to back away. 4) Such toying with the J/C shipper hearts! Still, they DID have that dessert together — what WAS it? 5) The FX still look awesome in 2023. Well done. This is a worthy episode for the 100th. 10 years closer to home, time correction, and massive character insight. Great episode.

RemiTheNerd

This Episode is one of my top episodes too! Robbie, Orangina! I laughed so hard! Such a thing I would say coz I'm a loser haha Also Robbie I love that you remember cake and champagne! Lol Great Haiku & limerick! Loved them! Guys Tom did the science and he was RIGHT!! Lmao! Still love that Robbie is a J/C Shipper like me!!! This Episode is so frickin J/C heavy isn't it?!! The romantic dinner and cupping his cheek?! Excuse me! Love Robbie's reaction to this! Made me laugh so hard! When Chakotay sits in his frozen chair on Voyager first of all; cold bum! Second when he hears Janeway's message he clearly wants to say "The last time I sat in this chair SHE was still alive"!!! I mean come on! The first time I watched this, when Harry said "They're having sex", I spat out my drink at his bluntness lol. Omg yes the size of the Delta flyer was like Omg what?! Like I expected some Dabo Girls, a jacuzzi & a frickin bar! haha Aww I feel sorry for Tessa! "You're heart has always been here on Voyager..." YEAH WITH KATHRYN! You can tell she knows! Also Salami sandwiched?!! Isn't Chakotay a Vegetarian?? The stakes of this episode tore my heart apart! The acting was superb in this episode! I'm glad it got Voyager 10 years closer to home and there was a renewed sense of hope for their return home. Also that scene with Kate and Garrett makes me cry every time! It's such a sweet scene she looks so proud of him like she's her son! It's just so beautiful to watch! You two played that perfectly! I agree with Robbie's lesson, ALWAYS listen to Tom! LMAO Robbie I AGREE with your do over! 100%! #J/Cforever!!! Robbie you're process of acting is SO smart!! OMG I found the frozen J/C picture and omg! that should have been kept in! wow I realise I agree with Robbie a lot, didn't see that coming when I first started watching the Pod Tbh, it's a nice surprise.

MG

I can't believe Robbie missed a chance here. At the end, when they gave their ratings, he should have totally looked right into the camera and said "I give it.... oh... a two." just to see Garrett's reaction. LOL

MG

They're replicated. None of it is made from meat anymore so it's all vegetarian. :D

Dee McGee

Robbie didn't realize the picture he had of Voyager last week was from Timeless! Edited to add: I like the shorter beard look.

Adele Lara

1. I guess that I am in the minority, but I liked Robbie’s longer beard. 2. Regarding older Harry’s age makeup, remember that guilt and stress will age a person. I think the makeup was appropriate for the life older Harry had endured.

Rich Gross

Robbie: The trimmed beard looks good on you. In addition to looking "cleaner", it makes your facial expressions clearer and more communicative.

Rich Gross

Int he scene with the drunk Seven, the quote actually refers to her "synthahol level". My question: What's the point of synthahol if it made her drunk and requires a trip to sick bay to cure?

Don Eitner

We can no longer call Robbie Dr. Beardface. (refer to the sitcom "Scrubs").

Judith Rouse

The trimmed beard looks much better. Very suave

Tashicat

I assume Neelix had the furfly on his own ship (which for some reason was never used for mission back up in seven yrs) So he went to the shuttle bay and retrieved it to gift it forward.

Don Eitner

Very good question. In an early TNG episode I recall they said that synthahol simulated alcohol but without the unpleasant effects. Ever after that, synthahol seems to be as intoxicating as any other alcohol.

James Morrow

I love the discussion about flipping the romance from future Chakotay to future Kim. That makes so much sense. And that pic Robbie holds up in the last five minutes made my heart drop! Megan-thank you for a wonderful job in the edit. Garbio, Fabio’s cousin, looks hubba hubba!!!

Tae Phoenix

I'm so surprised nobody picked Chakotay's girlfriend as the loser.

Tara

In the dinner scene with Janeway & Chakotay, Janeway says, "After dessert." I always read that as intense innuendo, esp. in the way suggestive way Kate delivers the line. Then there's "We've waited long enough," which has a double meaning if one chooses to interpret it that way -- 1. They've waited long enough to get home and 2. J/C have waited long enough to get together. Do they break the rules because of the high risk of the test flight? (As in, "To hell with the rules, this is our last night in the DQ and we may die tomorrow...") Or is Janeway referring to the possibility of being together only once they are home and off the ship, so they've "waited long enough?" (Let's risk everyone's lives with this crazy flight!) To me, the loser was Janeway; she got her whole crew killed. Only an extreme violation of the temporal prime directive brings them back.

DogBlud

It's really enjoyable seeing how enthusiastic Garrett is about this episode.

Raita

"We have waited long enough" had clearly more than one meaning.

Andrew Murray

Garrett should be submitting his Haikius as the Episode synopses for Netflix or Paramount+ (sometimes they actually make sense more than the actual synopsis).

Andrew Murray

The EMH wouldn't think it's morbid, it's just another day at the office for him.

Christopher Collins

Always listen to Tom Paris is the lesson. See that’s why Janeway went with Harry’s pitch for the Delta Flyer ahead of Voyager. So had Paris not pitched to Janeway to go with Harry’s plan this might not have killed the crew.

Scott Lakes

One of my all time favorite Voyager episodes.

Christopher Collins

I always wonder had Seven of Nine or B’Elanna Torres been onboard the Delta Flyer through the Slipstream and more crew members were onboard the Delta Flyer would they have been more successful sending more coordinates to the Voyager crew rather than Ensign Kim. I always thought it was odd for so few to be on board the Delta Flyer during this Quantum Slip stream sequence.

Christopher Collins

I always wished we got in this episode seeing what it was like for Kim & Chakotay to get back to Earth and seen them meet their family without Voyager with how much Kim talked about seeing his parents.

Christopher Collins

I always thought it was cool seeing Captain LaForge in this episode. I thought it was odd that he was talking to the Delta Flyer in Captain’s Ready Room vs on the Bridge.

Andrew Murray

"The Harry Kim Paradox" should be up there with the Picard Maneauver" (that Stargazer episode featuring the Ferengi) in TNG.

Andrew Murray

Given the "hotrod" feel of the Flyer, Tom should have put in sports-car seats and racing harness type belts and fluffy dice hanging from...the rearview mirror (even though it would have no real functionality).

Christopher Collins

I wish there was more talk about Kes’s daughter or granddaughter dating Chakotay. I wish there was more talk how they meet in the Delta Quadrant and how what Kes said about Voyager different from what Kes’s daughter or Granddaughter imagined.

Karen Chuplis

Harry’s exultant, exuberant “YES!!!” Is soooo visceral that it’s one of my all time favorite Star Trek moments. I really FEEL that to my core.

Eve England

Totally get Robbie’s obsession with Orangina! This was always the fancy pop we had as a treat!

Heather Selig

I’m surprised that Robbie didn’t mention Christine Harnos’ role on ER. I know it wasn’t her first role but it was pretty long term role.

Craig Drebit

The fact that Chakotay ends up happy with Tessa and has absolutely zero drive to save Janeway (beyond with the rest of the crew) goes to prove once again, that the JC Shippers are totally out to lunch. 😆

Scott Ableidinger

Yay, I’m so excited for this one! Timeless is my favorite episode of the entire series.

Lisa Minnesma

I thought we were doing German for language lesson?

Jennifer Z

100% agree. Robbie looks younger, more expressive, and much less homeless. The trim beard is a much better look.

E Larocque

I mean, how happy was he since he still decided to erase that timeline?

Samantha

Darkling - 5.5 Fortunate Son - 4 (sorry harry) Rise - 8 Rise does not belong in any 'trilogy of terror'.

Daniel Wilson

This is a favourite episode for sure! Well written and directed, drama, time travel, what's not to like? I'm normally a JC shipper, but a bit sad Tessa had to go. She was just so beautiful and they made a nice couple.

Craig Main

I think it’d be interesting (and more dramatic) to put Paris on the Flyer with Harry and Chakotay then in the future have Chakotay take on the Geordi role where he has accepted what’s happened then deal with that conflict of duty vs his love and loyalty to the Voyager crew

Stephanie

I know it was a running joke with Janeway but I always wondered how you could be a bad cook when using the replicators.

Lindsay Whitworth

Ok, but why not just call Robert and ASK HIM?? We need answers.

GAY Kleven-Lundstrom

Regarding the Borg Salvage component; I do not know if "Picard" writers watch this episode, saw it online, or just a coincidence; but in Voyager they said it was found in a Borg cube in the Beta Quadrant and Season 1 of Picard; the Borg artifact (Cube) is in the Beta Quadrant also.

Mary Burch

Garrett, you do look younger than Mullet Harry, but that fits; Mullet Harry has been rode hard and put away wet, so it's understandable that he'd look older than his years.

Janet Potts

Reminds me of the "mixed drink" I'd have as a kid when the adults were having theirs cocktails. 😄

Janet Potts

The "always listen to Tom" thing reminded me of going to a World Science Fiction convention with a friend. Every time we tried to figure out how to get somewhere, I'd say one way and my friend would insist it was another way. And it turned out I was right. After about the 3rd or 4th time this happened, she turned to me and said, "You need to be right more *forcefully*!" 😂

The Real Andrew Kim

finally caught up with all the podcasts on the 100th episode XD

Christopher

I’ve been listening almost non-stop (I have 7th rule and Gates McFadden InvestiGates. Anyway already at season 5! I love this episode, have you planned where you’d like to take this podcast after the aired all STVoy episodes are featured? I know there books and beta canon material out there.

Charlotte Telford

Garrett! Don’t be mad with your exit frame slide! It was an awesome piece of movement. Really goes with the “older Harry” and his lack of care and composure. It’s one of my favourite parts of your performance in Timeless!

Miki Tracey

(Robbie) Are you sure Chakotay was telling the girlfriend the truth about what he was going through after listening to the partial log? Or was he doing the thing that would redirect the new girlfriend from getting him to open up? I can't decide, myself, but it seems a possibility to me.

Moonglade

"Timeless" is one of my top 5 episodes! I have 'J/C Fan' written through me like Blackpool rock and this episode is always the agony and the ecstacy for me. I do agree with Robbie that they should have gone a bit deeper with J/C in that candle-lit dinner scene, although there is the 'open to interpretation' KJ line where she says, "Long enough. We've waited long enough." My heart always puts the emphasis on WE'VE waited long enough, as in, they want to be together, but duty and professionalism mean they can't be, but this is a chance to get home and then they're free to be together. Mind you, I also can't help feeling that Chakotay was manipulated from the moment he walked into Janeway's candlelit quarters. Janeway did this several times throughout the series, almost seducing Chakotay into agreeing with her against his gut instincts. I'd be interested to know what Garrett and Robbie think of that angle? However, it's complex layers like these that keep J/C shippers writing J/C fan-fiction, making J/C images and videos etc what... 27 years later? We used to curse Braga up, down and sideways for the J/C teasing over those 7 years, but in hindsight I think he knew exactly what he was doing. We're still here 27 years later, dammit! :D

John Serafino

"Timeless" is one of my favorite episodes and I was looking forward to this recap for a while. I enjoy the lightheartedness and the banter, but sometimes Garrett's endless laughing can be distracting... when you just want to talk about the episode. I'm looking forward to "Infinite Regress", another favorite episode. Jeri's acting in this episode is remarkable, I hope they get into the quality of her acting in this episode.

Merrold Young

Same with me. I started rewatching along with Greatest Generation but catching up with Delta Flyers forced me in a good way to speed up.

Daniel

"Timeless" is one of my fav episodes. Its hard to watch Voyager crash land

Kris Hansen

This seems like a good time to promote Harry Kim. Just saying.

Eric Bennett

If Robbie thought the eyeball scene with Seven was gross, he would have hated what they did to Icheb in Picard.

Eric Bennett

I have wondered in the past why was everything frozen over? The hull wasn't compromised. Even if it was, it wasn't the entire ship. The ship is designed for deep space. Sure, they have environmental controls and those would have stopped. They would have been frozen stiff maybe... but not snowed over.

Patrick E

We are as one......

ST Fan CB

I agree with the comment above. The snow on the inside was utterly ridiculous. Everyone would have been frozen due to no environmental control but there would have not been any "snow". If they wanted to show a bit of that, they could have had just the hull on top of the bridge compromised since that set is the nearest to the outside of the ship and had the bridge crew with snow on them. But just keep the rest of the ship as normal. The Star Trek universe does not have seatbelts. It never has and never will, can we please move on? And the garbage Kevlan Universe movie does not count. Why are we going back to Mandarin? What happened to German?
