STAR TREK VOYAGER | SEASON 7

The magnificent cast of Voyager interviewed as they were filming Endgame.

I feel like Harry Kim would walk around Voyager listening to 9 to 5 in his AirPods.

Hat tip to Jennifer Rossman on twitter for sharing this photo!

The hottest Trek crew or the hottest Trek crew?

But also they all look like they're from a Spy-Fi show instead of a SciFi show. They look like they're from Spooks/MI5 or La Femme Nikita in the early Aughts and late 90s.

Harry Kim

[muizeke83]

I just had the strangest dream.

I was going to see a play and I run into Harry Kim or Garrett, I’m not sure. In civvies and older so guessing Garrett… we link arms and start talking.

About my love for Janeway. And then he asks if I’m IN LOVE with her… and I say no, because you know who I am in love with??!

My husband 🤷🏻‍♀️ I say.

Then I tell him I have a huge crush on Chakotay.

But that he’s my favorite. Ensign?? Nope, just my favorite.

In the theatre there are Tom and Tuvok, or Robbie and Tim, also older and they watch Harry/Garrett and me walk in and they start whispering. Harry pulls me along and we look for our seats. But I have to go to the restroom before it starts and then I wake up because I actually have to go pee…

I hate it when that happens 🤦🏻‍♀️

I need to know more!! 🤔😩

[taniushka12]

Not watching it atm bc its. 4:13 (nice) am right now but um?

They made a podcast??????

[borgchip]

Also speaking of, that scene in Future's End where kes is like "there's also nothing left of the doctor, he's just gone..." and Janeway goes "The Doctor is only one of our problems" stuff like that still infuriates me so much like PROBLEMS????? AN ENTIRE P E RSON ON YOUR CREW JUST GOT DOWNLOADED AWAY AND MAYBE VAPORIZED FOR ALL WE KNOW. SHOW SOME RESPECT

Elia Kane is hot as long as you don’t think about her looking like Harry Kim from Star Trek Voyager 😁

Anson Mount Talks About the Strike

Last weekend at Dragon Con I attened a couple of great panels with cast members of Discovery and Strange New Worlds. Due to the strike, discussion of the actual shows was off the table and so moderators and audience members had to limit their questions to other things. It worked nicely, IMO. Anyway, the one exception to the not-talking-about-the-thing was in a panel Saturday moderated by Garrett Wang (Harry Kim, Voyager) featuring Christina Chong, Celia Rose Gooding, Anson Mount, Ethan Peck.

Wang kicked things off by talking about the strike for a minute and then handed things over to Anson Mount. I don't know if he knew in advance, but Mount proceeded to deliver parable about the SAG strike that was just epic. I had to wait a few days to locate video but once I did, I transcribed it to share. I've cued the clip so it starts right as Mount begins to speak, but I'm including Garrett Wang's intro in the transcript.

Garret Wang: I'm going to start right now with a discussion on the strike. Let's talk about the strike. I think we should. So a lot of people have misconceptions about the strike. Just to give us some facts, just to lay it out there: Onl7 87% of SAG's membership make enough per year to have health insurance. That threshold is what-- is it $26,000? Something around there, something very low. And that's not per month, that's per year. So not every actor is Tom Cruise. This strike is really not about greedy actors, this is about being treated fairly, about being treated with respect, which is not happening right now."

Anson Mount: Imagine you're sitting in a bar in Los Angeles and outside this big, stretch limo pulls up. The limo is hauling behind it a mega-yacht and the mega-yacht has got one of those helicopter pads on it, with a gold-plated helicopter on it. And from the back of the limo steps a guy with a $7,000 Italian suit, he's got a 24-carat gold tie pin, slicked-back hair, little pencil-thin mustache. He's got an assistant, whose got an assistant, whose got an assistant.

And he walks in the bar and he sees you and he sidles up next to the bar and he says, "Have I got a deal for YOU!" And you say, "Okaaay, what's the deal?" And he says, "Well! I'm starting a business in this brand new field called entertainment-- and I think you'd make the perfect business partner." And you say, "Entertainment, huh? Is that a very lucrative business?" "Oh, no no no no no, we're not making ANY money."

And you say, "Well, OK, what's in it for me, then?" And he says "Well! I will pay you to come in to work for me for one half a day for minimum wage and in exchange you will grant to me permission to use the video of you performing your expertise, as well as your expertise, for the rest of time, in perpetuity, whenever I want, without paying you any more money or asking permission."

And you say, "I don't know… Have you thought about to include me in this? Like maybe a little small percentage of profit, just a little like 2 percent." And he says, "You're insane! We're standing in the breadlines as it is!" And you say "Wait, wait, wait. If you say you're not making any money, 2 percent of nothing is nothing. You wouldn't have to pay me anything." And he says "That's a wonderful idea! I'll pay you 2 percent always-- of nothing." And you say, "That's not what I'm saying. So: let me put it this way. You must have an independent adjudicator or somebody who counts your numbers and lets everybody, all your shareholders, all your workers, know how the business is doing." "Oh, no no no, our numbers are all proprietary information." And you say, "Well, how do I know how the business is doing?" "Well, you'll just have to trusts me, of course."

And you say, "You know what? I just… under these given circumstances I'm not sure I want to work with you." And he says, "How DARE you?! I am going to walk straight out of this bar and when I come back -- and it won't be for a very long time -- but when I do, you'd better be here here waiting and you had better be grateful for my very generous offer of 2 percent of nothing!" And he whips his cape around and he walks out of the bar, followed by his assistant and his assistant and his assistant, and they all pile into the back of the limousine, and the driver tells his assistant driver, "Peel out!" With the mega-yacht, with the helicopter.

I think at that point, any reasonable person would turn to the bartender and say, "I think that guy's out of his fucking mind!" Right? Is it just me?

Garrett Wang: Anson, I gotta say, I've been on many panels and we've had many conversations about the strike, but no one has done a staged reading!"

--

Meanwhile, after dwelling a bit more on the strike, the conversation moves on to (necessarily) non-Star Trek topics and is highly enjoyable.

P.S. Yes, I still exist. No longer active on Tumblr but not because I"m boycotting or anything. We just drifted apart. I do still read Garashir fic but mainly just the same 20 favorites I saved to Instapaper, over and over :)

What should I watch or listen to today?

Threshold in the style of the animated series. The end of Threshold animated style!

"Looks like we mated". An incredible parody song.

The Delta Flyers episode on Threshold. Garret Wang and Robert Duncan McNeill talk about their opinions and production of the episode.

[isagrimorie]

So... I listened to the Delta Flyers podcast with Garret Wang and Robert McNeill and remember that part where Seven and the other borgs in her unimatrix crashed on a planet? And they had to survive for a few days?

And they were around a fire eating 'bio matter', I always assumed it was some animal they caught and it probably WAS some animal they caught but Garret Wang said he dug up the script for Survival Instinct and, originally according to the script, uh, it wasn't a random animal they were cooking and eating.

It was the dead Borg they were stripping for parts earlier. Uh.

I'm really glad I knew this after I watched the episode.

So... Technically.

Seven and other Borg did cannibalism before.

No wonder in the season finale of Picard Seven and the other ex-Borgs were eager to get replicators back online.

This is a secret only other ex-Borgs know.

(So the Borg Queen eating her own people is... uh, not that far off).

If I had to know about this, y'all have to know about this!

If Seven of Nine stumbled into the adult storyline of Yellowjackets, she'd fit in.

Imagine if Seven accidentally references this in front of Raffi or the other Enterprise-G and simply backtracks with an incredibly neutral face.
