The sexeh figure hugging shiny suit is explained away as being biologically therapeutic,

kinda like a space bandage, but 6 inch heels on a borg.....?

Oh right

I thought it had some relation to the original image.

If the legitimacy of her footwear is your biggest gripe about the show I'd say you were doing pretty well

Oh I love Voyager and her character,

but the leap from borg ugly cyborg to sexah high heeled titty whore always bothered me a bit, not very Star Trek I felt, and very 'pander to the spotty trekky hairy palmers', I'm amazed it got passed frankly...

at the risk of being outed as a sad twat (too late)

the bloke who played the second in command, I can't remember his name now, but he was so sick of how crap it was he kept asking for more money in the hope that they would sack him, they kept giving him more money :D

If it worked,

hats off to him!

I always did feel he was treading water in the show tho, this may explain why (assuming u mean Chakotay)

I read about it on teh internet, like all true nerds :)

he was at some fan thing, talking about his time on voyager and was generally not speaking kindly of those that had just pissed him off

and a quick google shows he wasn't shy about saying "this is crap" :)

It was STUNNINGLY bad in teh early stages, series 1 t0 3 are mainly unwatchable,

however if you stick with it it improves as they stop being so damn desperate for viewing figures and remember to write a script that makes a modicum of sense to any vaguely able minded being, and some of the later series, in particular 4 and 5, are fantastic stuff IMO, and it became my fave Star Trek spin off.

Jerry Ryan (7 of 9) is a stunning actress and really gets to shine in this series. Shame they dressed her like a shiny bimbo really...

Cathexis

Worst Episode Ever, and it was mainly a Chakotay heavy episode, and my word, it was awful, no redeeming features whatsoever, it was the Battlefield Earth of the series, srzly! :P

*edit* I think you'll find modulating the frequencies will solve any problem! ;)

If you mean Chakotay,

then along with the majority of Star Trek fans, I wish he had been sacked. Along with Janeway.
They were both fucking shit.

Heresy!!

Janeway was the badgers nadgers, she just suffered from the same fate as everyone else in this spin off, the early scripts were SHITE!

If you wanna see shit, see Sisko, my gawd, that man couldn't act if you payed him.

And they did.

it's about, like,

the inherent misogyny & objectification of women needed to promote a successful show in these times, man
or maybe not. i got distracted looking at the nipples

And that!

It was just a tad too much, they could at the very least have made them platform heels so they weren't so darn 'borg dominatrix' lookin...
