He did leap to the center of the galaxy to meet the Cythereans, after all. But yeah, I like the way you pick nits, good sir.matthewweflenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07540521459703556959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4400152815785368447.post-90303098989792075892020-10-24T15:37:15.320-05:002020-10-24T15:37:15.320-05:00I love this episode.

I choke up every time they establish two-way contact and the Admiral asks after his son and our crew are assured that they are not as alone as they think.<br /><br />However...<br /><br />I agree with everything you guys say, but (and since I am not listening to the podcasts since I am reading this while at work and don't know if one of you brings this point up) there is one big nit I have to pick about this one. Barclay is able to guestimate which three sectors where Voyager would be located based on its last known location and probable average cruising speed, right? But, there is no way in hell he could have known about the FIVE instances where the ship was able to travel beyond the limits of warp speed since "Message In a Bottle": the 300 light-year quantum slipstream trip in "Hope and Fear," the 2,500 light year jump through the Malon wormhole in "Night," the 10,000 light-year jump due to their own quantum slipstream experiment in "Timeless," the 20,000 light-year transwarp trip at the end of "Dark Frontier," and the 600 light-year jump in "The Voyager Conspiracy". Just saying, that point momentarily takes me out of the episode whenever it comes up.uconnhuskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04222659082606947085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4400152815785368447.post-3032373893880736142019-10-21T01:00:27.222-05:002019-10-21T01:00:27.222-05:00Fun fact: Reg was in more Voyager episodes than TN...Fun fact: Reg was in more Voyager episodes than TNG episodes, Voy:6 TNG:5. Does that mean he is more of a Voyager character? I find that thought amusing since we usually perceive him as a semi-regular TNG character who appeared briefly in Voyager. Though he was in the First Contact movie which I guess makes it a tie.Orachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16783534091923847423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4400152815785368447.post-46975548461672865452019-09-04T20:58:57.819-05:002019-09-04T20:58:57.819-05:00I think Barclay is a character (like Q, let's ...I think Barclay is a character (like Q, let's say) best used in small doses. I just think that TNG and VOY were successful in finding the right dosage :)matthewweflenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07540521459703556959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4400152815785368447.post-23994209335015706772019-09-04T03:29:24.635-05:002019-09-04T03:29:24.635-05:00This may be a little heretical, but I never liked ...This may be a little heretical, but I never liked Reg that much. He managed to pull himself out of my retching at his first holodeck creations, as intended by that episode. But then he gains super intelligence and quickly becomes a borderline villain. His inferiority complex just grinds my gears. As such, it's hard for me to enjoy Barclay episodes (except the one about his transporter fear; that worked quite well in my eyes).<br /><br />But there is no denying he is wonderfully acted, and Marina Sirtis and Troi are most welcome.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
