From the show with voyager the ship didn't look nearly big enough to be able to house voyager in a huge cavernous hangar. Also I wish they had explored a little bit more about how the Voth seem to live on a city ship but also have colony's on planets. Is the ship so much better than the planet?sirkatzalothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01196996609340706645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4400152815785368447.post-36747817968632684332015-04-25T02:25:01.129-05:002015-04-25T02:25:01.129-05:00Really enjoying the blog, thank you.

I've always enjoyed the exploration of ideas more than the political arcs, so I find Voyager more interesting than DS9. <br /><br />This episode really shines, the idea of a dinosaur civilization is fascinating. If humans were to disappear there would be no visible signs after 50,000 years. After a few million years everything would be gone except some pockets of radiation where our nuclear reactors currently sit assuming the materials are left there. The chance of finding evidence of a previous civilization after 65 million years is extremely unlikely, even in the 24th century. <br />There is a place in Oklo, Africa that has the remains of archaic nuclear reactors where self-sustaining nuclear fission reactions took place. Though to be natural concentrations from a billion years ago, it's conceivable they were more recent 100 million year ago rectors from one stage in the Saurian's development. Perhaps it would have been good to mention that after that amount of time there would be no trace, I certainly would have liked them to mention the evidence of Voth nuclear reactors. <br /><br />Your reviews are very good and I really enjoy the podcasts, please keep it up. <br />Orachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16783534091923847423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4400152815785368447.post-78025352367507635122015-04-24T23:40:44.273-05:002015-04-24T23:40:44.273-05:00I liked that Chakotay took the lead in this episod...I liked that Chakotay took the lead in this episode. I like Janeway a lot, but it can get tiring to always see her hit the philosophical jugular of story lines. I enjoy watching the other characters be at the center of an episode once in a while and make the tough calls. <br /><br />And generally I really like the Chakotay character. He is resolute but there is also a certain calm and tranquility, almost peacefulness, to him and his voice. The way he was dealing with the Voth at a time where Gegen was getting more agitated provided a wonderful counterbalance. I love that he can be calm and together without being mechanical (Data) or emotionless (Vulcan). I really wish they had developed his character more over the course of the series. Something which, as i understand, didnt happen as much as the actor Beltran wanted (and complained about) because of the introduction of Seven and all the episodes about her and her humanity or her, Janeway and her huanity. poppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09064123327462038174noreply@blogger.com
