sustained fangirl squeeing I’m only about eight episodes in, but gAwD, it’s amazing what studios can do when they actually do long-term planning. Consistent characterization that isn’t just smashing foils together like Tuvok and Neelix or Tom and Harry? More than 4 recycled plots? YAY BOSS BAE JANEWAY. Unfortunately, Chakotay doesn’t have enough screen time (yet) to see if they figured out what to do with him. Voyager definitely didn’t seem to know what to do with him except as the vehicle for Creeping Heteronormativity. JUSTICE FOR CHAKOTAY
Ensigns, I’ve had a few
But then again, too few to mention
I did what I had to do
And killed them all, without exemption
I planned each charted course
Each careful warp along the byway
And more, much more than this, I did it Janeway
