#the way this ep made voyager so claustrophobic. and then gave tom a silly little escape from that bc tom is extremely claustrophobic

[ronon-dex]

'night' has absolutely everything. tom and harry acting out their own version of doctor who. janeway finally revealing her depression at the circumstances of voyager now that she has no distractions. neelix suffering panic attacks from the emptiness of starless space, the same thing he feared in 'mortal coil', when he realised heaven may not exist after all. chakotay considering, for the very first time since he stepped aboard janeway's vessel, actual mutiny - if it saves the endlessly guilty and self-sacrificial captain. a grand civilisation decimating a smaller, less known one because they assume no-one will miss it except its people. this advanced civilisation's refusal of environmentally sound waste disposal because it's not financially profitable for a select few. the entire crew staring down janeway and point blank refusing to allow her to sacrifice herself for them. even harry and tom, who worship her, even chakotay, who would do anything for her, even tuvok, her best friend, even seven, who would challenge her on damn near everything else. tom and seven having inside jokes. voyager riding a shockwave through a wormhole JUST like the aos crew escaped a black hole in the 2009 movie.

the bridge crew's faces when they saw stars for the first time in months.
