Tom Paris is so hilarious because he's a "cool" character written by the kind of people who write Star Trek, so it's just like "What are cool people into?" "Uh...fast cars! Rock & roll! Pool! Pizza! Black and white sci-fi adventure serials! Uh...19th century whaling ships! Quaint Irish villages!" "Are you sure about those last ones?" "What are you saying they're *not* cool?" "Okay, fair point"

Drama ensues on Voyager when Tom Paris enthusiastically recommends the movie Crash, calling it “the most amazing thing he’s ever seen”. Neelix, Tuvok, and Seven bond over how insane they think human mating rituals are. B’Elanna wonders if this is Tom telling her he wants to try something new in their relationship. Chakotay, known for crashing shuttles, thinks this is some coded message for him that he does NOT appreciate. Harry watches over the chaos with a shit eating grin, knowing that the movie that Tom actually watched was Crash (2004) dir. Paul Haggis.

I'm pretty sure a person I was messaging on a dating app just stopped replying because I said my favorite Star Trek was Voyager.

This would be funny if it weren't the third fucking time this has happened to me.

Star Trek: Voyager + @screenshotsofdespair

Perspectively Fun Star Trek Fact:

Only 3 main characters across TNG/DS9/Voyager are seen in canon wearing the 2371 style uniforms correctly (that is with the top zipper all the way up) while on duty, and those characters are Harry Kim, Tuvok, and Worf.

I did a little research, because I thought Julian Bashir surely would have been properly zipped up in the early days of DS9, but nope. Jadzia Dax actually wears her zipper higher than Julian, although still not all the way up.

Literally no one in the movie Generations is seen wearing the uniform properly, as Worf is only seen wearing the previous design. Even Data can't be bothered to zip his jacket all the way up. Geordi LaForge and Will Riker (who are actually wearing uniforms belonging to Miles O'Brien and Benjamin Sisko because of budget) are seen with rolled sleeves.

This has been a Perspectively Fun Star Trek Fact.

Beauty and the Borg – A B7 Shipper’s Manifesto

So. We’ve come here in my life where I just need to talk about ships I love and everyone has to see this. Only not but whatever. I’m gonna try to break this down old school in how I remember shippers manifestos in livejournal days, complete with images. And thus to begin:

What is Star Trek: Voyager?

Unless you live under a rock you’ve probably just heard of Star Trek, maybe not watched it but heard of it. Starting in 1966 the Original Series was released, ran for three years, was canceled due to an infamous error in Neilson ratings and established the franchise. There was an animated series people often forget about, six movies for the Original series, and then in 1987 they brought it back as a live action show called Star Trek: The Next Generation. It did so well and engrained itself in the conscious of many people that they often refer to it as the best Trek but believe me that’s a debate on it’s own. And thus had it’s own spin off, Deep Space Nine in 1993. While not as popular as TNG it’s grouped into what people call the 90s Trek. With the last one being the last spin off in 1995: Star Trek: Voyager.

Where DS9 introduced the first black captain (though it took three years for him to get that promotion, boo), VOY introduced the first female captain lead of a Star Trek series. The premise of the show was that on a hunt for some resistance fighters both ships are pulled through the Alpha Quadrant to the Delta Quadrant. Approximately seventy-thousand light years from home. Due to the choice made by the captain, Kathryn Janeway, they are then stranded there and the crews of the ships band together on Voyager to make their way back to the Alpha Quadrant and get home.

That’s an extreme simplification but basically Lost in Space for Star Trek.

And that leads us to the characters of this essay:

Tom throws a pride parade in the holodeck. Neelix is upset that he wasn’t involved in planning given his “remarkable allyship.” Tuvok walks in and Tom jokingly tells him “no cops at pride,” to which Tuvok replies with a list of ways his role is different from a 20th/21st C cop. 

The pride event includes a costume contest, which unexpectedly results in three different crewmembers showing up in drag as Queen Arachnia. Seven learns about queer history and the identities celebrated at pride, noting a more complete understanding of her connection to humanity.
