so I remember tweeting a few TNG thoughts I had last spring while watching the series for the first time, and a few during TOS later too, so I figured why not start a thread for my Voyager thoughts as well

my thoughts from the pilot:

-I immediately LOVE Janeway, from her almost-transatlantic accent to her flawlessly Edwardian updo to her poise to her expressions.. I can tell she’s gonna be a favorite I just know

-Harry Kim needs to be protected at all costs, a 100/10 character

-Paris is literally space! Jack Thompson and idk if that’s good or bad yet but at least he’s not Dooley amirite

-the pilot was very “For The World Is Hollow And I Have Touched The Sky” meets “The Apple” meets Critique Of American Evangelicalism, i stan

-B’elanna is Very Cool already

-the fact that the Ocampa only live to be 9 years old (supposedly?) gives me real icky vibes concerning the very heavily implied relationship dynamic between Kes and Neelix

-I love Space Georgia Southern Gothic Horror for a pilot lol

-I definitely 100% have a soft spot for Grumpy Space Doctor because I immediately could tell that the holographic doctor was gonna be a fav as well

like!!! omg i love McCoy and i adore Crusher and I already like this character too !!

I forgot to tweet this last week but episode 5 made me Very Uncomfy for multiple reasons and I’m really hoping this was just a case of Season One Condition and not gonna become a theme in this show

also I’m loving Janeway more and more each episode. she’s so *chefs kiss*

omg eye of the needle is such a good episode

-how is Janeway so freaking gorgeous
-even her nightgown look is angelic!!!
-friendly Romulans warm my heart
-happy Kim is a blessing to this world
-B’elanna’s soft shoulder touch when he’s sad is !!
-I hate seeing Janeway sad:(

-this episode was just so touching omg. all the feels
-the stuff with the doctor was so heartwarming and reminded me *very* much of some Data episodes!! I love!!!
-kes is a cinnamon roll, so wholesome
-I’m gonna say it twice bc it’s just that true, Janeway is beautiful i love her

-the Beowulf episode was so fun. Star Trek is made by such massive nerds and I love it so much

-“just because a man changes his drink order doesn’t mean he’s possessed by an alien!” lol iconic, 10/10 line from the doctor

being a person who has been intimately, horribly wronged by a doctor in my life at one time, s1 e14 “Jetrel” gives me so many mixed and complicated feelings idk

“get the cheese to sick bay”

ooc this makes no sense but... I kinda ship Janeway / Earhart ?! is this a certified rarepair? Idk I’m just getting lots of shippy vibes from those longing, inquisitive, admiring glances between them lol

maybe it’s also just because night at the museum made me fall in love with Amelia Earhart and now I love Janeway too so it’s like bringing two legends together who are both women who fly and I just like it a lot

-nahhh Earhart would’ve 100% gone with them, the hecc

-ahhhhh omg Chakotay’s so sweet to Janeway

-Janeway’s relief when no one elected to leave omg... I love her so much

this episode was so very good and I don’t know whether I ship Earhart or Chakotay more lol

-Tuvok and Janeway out here preaching feminism & reproductive autonomy to the crew

-also major kudos to Tuvok for absolutely destroying patriarchal gender expectations in like 3 sentences, 15/10

“it appears we have lost our sex appeal, captain”

what the heck

JANEWAY OMG “if I have any questions in the future about mating behavior I’ll know where to go”

girl just kiss him already what u doin!! we say those lil smiles you exchanged!!

me Chakotay

loving & adoring Janeway
with my whole heart

“I’m a doctor, not a bartender!”

omg what a delightful little Bones reference

omgggg I LOVE the little comforting shoulder pats and hand holding (and Tuvok’s almost-shoulder-brush of Janeway!!!!!) in “twisted” they all love and care for each other so much omg

I also just love Janeway so much!! the way she took the time to compliment Harry I just!!

Harry is so sassy and adorable and continues to be the absolute best

also omggg when he started playing the clarinet concerto it immediately made me think of the way that stylistic interpretations change over time and how that same concerto is played very differently in..

..classical circles today & how interesting it is to think of the future’s stylistic interpretations of historical pieces and how this particular phrasing trend must come back in this century and all of this was about .05 seconds of thought but anyway I just really loved that bit

also omg what a universal experience the “non-musician friend walks in while you’re practicing and demands you play for them, then keeps requesting something different while also talking over you” experience is lol... Harry Kim you have the patience of a saint

also 10/10 for fake-making-up a proverb just to prove a point!!! Harry is just so great

anyway not a huge fan of this weird jealousy arc with Paris but at least the doctor is being very wholesome with Kes and telling her it’s not her fault which I think at the time especially was a big thing to blatantly say!! so that’s good!

and we got another “I’m a doctor not a—“ lol I love it

omg. Harry really keeps outdoing himself in terms of kindness and humor and wholesomeness and just being such a good person and friend and crewman!!! we love!!! what a buddy

he was so sweet when comforting Kes omg

omg the crew banding together to ensure Janeway’s taking care of herself warmed my heart so much

and Chakotay’s little head dip and grin when she decided to go eat I!!! love them so much!!!! ahhhhhhhh

also I absolutely LOVE that Kes got to save the day in this one!!! good for her!!!

this episode is also just another “I adore Janeway so much” episode lol. Ma’am marry me please

I get that when her hallucination of Mark said “but you’ve got someone else in your mind now don’t you” he meant her regency holonovel characters but the shipper in me wants it to mean Chakotay instead lol #otp

oh my god when young! Chakotay says like “I was just looking at a lizard when I saw...” he and Kathryn are freaking soULMATES!!! literally seeing each other before they met!!!! they’re meant to be man

oh my god that whole scene was just like a solid 2 minutes of adoring gazes and science-flirting with each other like juST KISS HER CHAKOTAY omg

wait they just said Sulu sponsored Chakotay to go to Starfleet academy omg
