Today we’re starting with Episode 15 of the first season. I still feel quite comfortable on board the Voyager, considering that I had some bad memories of the series and really only did pick watching last time.
What I find interesting is the fact that several themes are already addressed in the first season, both directly and indirectly. Mass murder, identity finding, and even the famous Spock adage “The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.”
I don’t think this was quite handled the same way in other series, but here, a double episode is often used as a transition to the next season, and I can still remember that there were some intense episodes there. Also, I’m looking forward to Species 8472 because here they’ve thought about it and come to the conclusion that there are species that are far superior to the Borg.
But I don’t even want to start on the Borg now, otherwise I’ll start to get worked up again about Star Trek: Picard, and that wouldn’t be nice at all!
