I think the events of DS9 aren't canon but the Dominion war is The only reason I say this is because DS9 was deeply involved in mystical deities and the spirits in the wormhole
@@haddy106 All of Star Trek has had "deities" and "spirits" - but every time they are just weird aliens or extra dimensional beings. (Apollo in TOS, Ardra in TNG, Lucien TAS, "God" in Star Trek 5, ect) The DS9 wormhole aliens were just entities that lived outside of time. It was simply science that they could predict the future because they didn't exist in linear time, nothing mystical about it. But they did inspire Sisko and indirectly helped him start to come to peace with the loss of his wife.
That's actually what got Robert Picardo the part in First Contact. The USS Enterprise UCC 1701-E was actually one of the first flagships to receive a EMH Mark 1.
Me too. This is the only time the Dominion are actually named on Voyager. They are referred to in only one other episode where Chakotay states that the Cardassians have a new ally. Such a missed opportunity for some deep drama...

The Doctor - This man needs our help, I assume you are familiar with the Hippocratic oath? Also the Doctor - I just deactivated life support, all the Romulans are dead.
It's simple. The unconscious Romulan is a prisoner under the care of his captors, and the ones awake and well stealing the ship are combatants. If those Romulan had a change of heart and decided to surrender, then the doctor would certainly have treated their headaches and given Ulan Bochra medication for his genital infection so he doesn't have to scratch his balls bloody while he sits in the brig.

A thrombic modulator was a used by Starfleet medical personnel as early as 2374. This device was used to change the coagulation ratio of blood within the body, most likely to prevent thrombosis. Ha Ha he said "cone"

The EMH! This character evolved where he could go where everyone else could. This was great character innovation on the part of the Trek writers. The original EMH, anyway.
This episode takes place in season 4. The degradation case happened one year earlier to the doctor, in Season 3 "The Swarm" So, you got this part backwards. The Bashir - Zimmerman thing is a different story.
@@vegetablearian_ Nope, that was the Long Term Medical Hologram (LMH). Zimmerman only started the LMH development a year earlier so it likely would take several years of testing before it could be deployed as a production model. Meanwhile, EMH was already deemed perfected and just would take incremental version updates.
I have never understood why Star Trek has not used the transporter as a weapon. they could replicate a thousand of the hologram Mobile emitters programmed with Klingon warriors and Targs, transport them onto the deck of an enemy vessel programmed to be high on cocaine.
If there ever were EMHs you know they'd do that. Not only current celebrities but deep sim recreations of historical figures as well. Like Data getting his head shrunk by Sigmund Freud.
I'm surprised the Mark II didn't ask something along the lines of "Four years? By what planet's standard?" Because a year is a planet's full rotation around the sun, and not all planets take 365 days and six hours to rotate around their sun.
I'll never understand why people bash Voyager. As someone who grew up with 2 old school star trek fans as parents and a steady diet of TNG, I thoroughly enjoyed almost all of Voyager. It wasnt as good as TNG but that's honestly a tough bar to reach.
Voyager is massively underrated. People are mostly disappointed that it abandoned its premise as a lonely crew far from home, and just became a lighthearted action show.

"What the hell are you doing in my sick bay"
"Standing here, silently, raising an eyebrow and waiting for about 3 minutes for no reason"
Man these sitcoms are weird when you take out the laugh track.
"What the hell are you doing in my sickbay?"
[Tilts head and stares]
The EMH! This character evolved where he could go where everyone else could. This was great character innovation on the part of the Trek writers. The original EMH, anyway.
It's Bones! "We don't use scalpels, or leeches ..." :'D
Some of the best episodes everrrr
Thank you for putting the episode number in description.
"We don't use scalpels or lEecHes anymore!"
Geez, call the fire department.
See the Doctor get a dose of his own medicine is always great! 😂🤣🤣🤣
I loved how Picardo shut the Mark II's rant long enough to explain the situation and add in, more or less, "I'm the least of your worries!"
He waited his whole career to say "Get me the thrombic modulator".
Another nod to Bones “I’m a Doctor NOT a commando”
"So...Mark I, wanna do coke and gay stuff?"
"I beg your pardon?"
"I said, um...check the sensors for deep space anomalies."
When I die and wake up on a table with that moving tbing over the bed I'll be like YES! I MADE IT!
Wow, Andy Dick in a role where he is actually kinda sorta not-unlikable.
And this was the comment I was looking for.
Andy Dick always 100% true to his name.
Nope, he's most assuredly unlikeable!
"Butta-FOO-ko!" is still one of the funniest lines I've ever heard.
But, yeah, he's a little intense.
@@thefurrybstard1964 he does get better as the episode progresses
These two were frakin' AMAZING.
Teamwork is an advanced skill. It never comes without a seed of leadership.
OMG..I sooooo love the doctor.. by far my favorite character.
This was a really cool episode.
I wish Star Fleet gave them some recognition for doing this near impossible job
Well they did eventually recognize The Doctor's personhood so that's something.
I haven't been in this fandom long, but it's bee long enough to know I can't just throw the words "The Doctor" around
The Doctor's later does degrade after being active for too long! Julian Bashir was going to Dr Zimmermann as the Hologram template!
This episode takes place in season 4.
The degradation case happened one year earlier to the doctor, in Season 3 "The Swarm" So, you got this part backwards.
The Bashir - Zimmerman thing is a different story.
"androids don't grow hair"
I think Bashir was going to be the model for the mark 2 EMH until he was found out as genetically enhanced, right?
@@vegetablearian_ Nope, that was the Long Term Medical Hologram (LMH). Zimmerman only started the LMH development a year earlier so it likely would take several years of testing before it could be deployed as a production model. Meanwhile, EMH was already deemed perfected and just would take incremental version updates.
"We don't use scalpels or leeches anymore!" It was funny and shady back then and it still is now ❤
I have no medical experience whatsoever but 'thrombic modulator' sounds like a fancy way of saying "how's his blood pulse?"
I do wonder if any Voyager fans were puzzled by the tease of the Dominion and were convinced to watch DS9.
I just noticed. Mark II EMH got the ability to deactivate himself by default. The Doctor had to have that added for him.
I loved how the Andy Dick EMH reacted to the knowledge that the EMH Mk1 can have sex;).
Holograms with ego.. Rimmer from Red Dwarf anyone?
Goalpost Head had problems before he was a hologram though
Rimmer was a SMEGHEAD.
Yeah thanks bye
"Stoke me a clipper, I'll be back for Christmas."
I have never understood why Star Trek has not used the transporter as a weapon. they could replicate a thousand of the hologram Mobile emitters programmed with Klingon warriors and Targs, transport them onto the deck of an enemy vessel programmed to be high on cocaine.
The mobile emitter was 29th century technology that they tried and failed to replicate.
Although This Is A Good Episode They Should Had Make The Enemies Cardassian Or Jem'Hadar Since This Was Set During The Dominion War
I love the “what the hell are you doing in my sickbay” as though he already recognized the doctor as a Mark I
On the USS Ranger the EMH is The Macho Man Randy Savage. When he activates he yells. Ooooh Yeah!!!!
If there ever were EMHs you know they'd do that. Not only current celebrities but deep sim recreations of historical figures as well. Like Data getting his head shrunk by Sigmund Freud.
I love how offended mkII is that doc is there.
I thought EMH I was going to faint at 0:19 when he saw EMH II.
Wow, Matthew from NewsRadio sure gained a lot of self-confidence over the years
It must be the coming out to his gay moms as straight did that to him. 😆🤣
Nice wink to Generations and Star Trek IV.
I'm watching voyager currently I'm very hyped for that scene.
This was Andy Dick's best role.
I'm surprised the Mark II didn't ask something along the lines of "Four years? By what planet's standard?"
Because a year is a planet's full rotation around the sun, and not all planets take 365 days and six hours to rotate around their sun.
The writing on this Star Trek was second to none.
hahahaha 2 great actors playing the same role ...oh the antic's...would love to see the blooper real on this seen
"Long Story...." (great reference to DS9 there)
They programmed the EMH Mk2 not to operate on "the enemy"? seems like a breach in ethical subroutines
This scene and episode is hysterical.
man im not a trekkie but this bit was so good. Hillarious. well scripted and played.
I love it when Doctors argue, human or otherwise. 😂
"I'm a doctor, not a commando!" 8-)
two old queens duking it out... u love to see it
I like the sound of Emergency Commando Hologram
I'll never understand why people bash Voyager. As someone who grew up with 2 old school star trek fans as parents and a steady diet of TNG, I thoroughly enjoyed almost all of Voyager. It wasnt as good as TNG but that's honestly a tough bar to reach.
Voyager is massively underrated. People are mostly disappointed that it abandoned its premise as a lonely crew far from home, and just became a lighthearted action show.
Great episode!
66 thousand light years? That's how far they were from Earth? Sheesh, just call the Fuel Rats Janeway, they could have jumped out there and picked you guys up in a couple of hours.
This is a rare highlight from Voyager
loool the EMH2 literally was like 'Nope!, I'm out', meanwhile EMH1 '... get back here'
Like that episode. Nice ship, nice acting (funny).
brilliant episode
"Long Story", great one though.
