Today's Thought Experiment: Acronyms in the 24th century are more guidelines than hard rules. With that in mind, give me your best close-but-slightly-wrong acronyms. VOYAGER: Vessel Originally Designed for Science, General Exploring, Research.
It's not funny though, it's sad. I often felt Voyager writers didn't have the creativity to create interesting characters and species so they brought back others (like Q, ferengi, klingons, borg, barcley) as fan service. Or maybe it was the suits who made these dumb decisions. DS9 worked out so much better without the Borg, despite being deeply connected to the main character loss of wife.
@@nisselarson3227 what’s the alternative though? Have a guest alien race every other episode as Voyager cruises through the Delta quadrant never to be seen again, with no sense of familiarity.
@@richardchristie3203 I grew up in a part of Australia during the 80s that had no access to the A-Team. The character was basically just Broccoli when I watched TNG. Then he turns up in Voyager and basically becomes a hero. I thought that was a really awesome development.
I just always assumed that, when Doc said he told them everything, he meant everything he thought was important. And I could see him not thinking to mention exactly how the Maquis were integrated into the crew. Plus, honestly, the fact that they wasted energy to make uniforms for Maquis who all already had clothes always seemed weird to me. It makes more sense to me for them to wear their existing clothes at least at first. All they'd actually need is a Comm Badge and maybe some sort of marker of their rank.
"Keep a docking bay open..." always puts a lump in my throat - the odds of Barclay actually locating the USS Voyager being extremely small notwithstanding.
I really liked this one, especially how everyone who isn't Barclay is being reasonable; they know Reg is abit unusual but very smart and are willing to hear him out. His boss is also trying to look out for his work/life balance and is trying to help him. Reg is acting irrational but he has his reasons and is ultimately right. I'm glad after the main plot, Reg and his boss seem to have reconciliated given Reg scored with the guys( sister/sister in law?) Plus, Reg is an example of a non neural typical as a heroic type of character and its always nice to see him.
I always thought dude didn’t like his sister in law and that’s why he set her up with Reg. Like they both annoyed him the same way so he figured they could annoy each other. Reg really seems like the guy to call someone on their honeymoon because he had a great idea.
It all comes down to judgments and often all that is wrong about a situation is that not everyone is on the same page due to misunderstandings or assumptions. This is why it is a terrible idea to casually diagnose someone. I've always liked and enjoyed Reg, I hear he originated though out of poking fun at Star Trek fans and I hope that isn't true, or at least the character has sufficiently lived down any negative ideals. I think he is one of Trek's great characters.
I did like the touch of having the holographic Voyager crew look like they did at the start of the show (of course, Harry Kim's appearance is unchanged.)
I feel like Reg cobbled the Voyager simulation together based on file photographs from before the episode Caretaker, hence things like the absence of Kes, Neelix, and Seven, in addition to the maquis crew being in civilian attire. I don't think the writers would've considered the political implications of Janeway absorbing the Maquis refugees into the crew.
Also, Reg has a tendency to take some “artistic liberties” with his depictions in his holodeck programs, and maybe he just liked it more then putting them in standard Starfleet uniforms
Yeah plus given the war, the Maquis had been eliminated by DS9 season 5 pre-war I highly doubt anyone would care. During Voy season 4 DS9 season 6 the focus was on the war. At this time Cardassia was likely, according to Sloan's predictions which he didn't see his end coming so.. Cardassia would be an occupied territory, rightfully so given their collaberation with the Dominion. So they just went through a horrible war and I'd guess they'd completely forgotten about the Maquis at this point.
I got something a little different from Admiral Paris saying he's proud of Tom. It didn't come across as "You're turning into the son I wanted" but "I no longer expect you to conform to my ideas; I'm proud of you for what you've done, not for living up to what I want." Though I imagine Tom getting back into Starfleet and following Starfleet rules does make him warm and fuzzy. After all, Starfleet is good and perfect and everyone should want to be a good Starfleet Officer because they're just nifty.
When the doc was rattling off Barclay's medical history I always though it odd he never mentioned that he has an entire syndrome named after him.🕷 Also, great review, thank you!
Spider Barclay popping up in front of Picard and Riker scared the SHIT outta me when I first saw that as a kid. Also, that's one of my top TNG episodes.
@@dougsmith6262 I know what you mean, I can't stand that time O'brien brought a Tarantula to Ten Forward and just left it to get a beer or something. Hilarious but creepy.
Not only is Starfleet security always terrible, but Murdock had years of experience in breaking out of mental facilities with his former army buddies, Hannibal and BA. It's nice to see a Starfleet Admiral who is neither evil nor incompetent!
I've long considered Barclay to be one of the smartest people in Starfleet. He's rightly terrified of transporters (they kill you and send a clone in your place, see Thomas Riker for more details), is extremely aware of how regularly people without plot armor get strange alien diseases and die, and he's come to the very correct conclusion that holodecks are utopia and there is little reason to bother with real life if you have one.
This episode (of your review) reminded me of a question I have. If Earth has no money. Then how do they decided what apartment or land to give people. Barclay seems to have a very nice apartment. But other apartments could be bigger or smaller. So without money, then how does anyone decided how to divide the limited resources? Just a thought.
I would contend Barclay's apartment looks about as good, if not very similar, to Admiral Kirk's apartment. It could just be a Star Fleet housing thing where apartments are handed out by family unit size, but if we also remember Janeway's apartment during the final two episodes, hers wasn't that more or less swanky. Maybe a bit bigger, but I could attribute that to notoriety and having a professor position at the Academy. Then again, Star Trek kind of skips over the entire economics part constantly in the shows. No need to explain everything when it's just easier to hand wave it as "solved".
This feeling so old and it is. Star trek has always been about the wobbly sets and plastic rocks but this one is so unconvincing. If it wasn't for Reg and the holodeck, I may have missed this episode completely.
I really enjoyed this episode, Barkley has always been a favorite character of mine and he's always such fun. Plus I really enjoy the character of Pete. You can see he cares about his people, and he really wants to look after Barkley. He values him and when he sees he is wrong jumps right into supporting him when he's getting results and doesn't try to take a lick of credit and offers an apology. Pete is a great manager, and if Barkley had had Pete earlier in his career I could see him having a much better start. The idea of the Maqui being given ranks as something to be concerned about is interesting to me. Sure the idea of, "we were able to fold them back into human society, and 'fix," their anti-social behavior," could be a way to spin it, but considering that there was a big problem of Star Fleet officers dropping out to join the Maqui and even giving them military supplies it could be seen as the Maqui purposefully used to destabilize the Cardassian Union. I could see the Romulans having a field day with that.
always an utter joy to have barkley in an episide, he makes me feel like a normie and a sprinkleing of troy beautifull (in infj- i really relate to her)
to the problem of the distance cuts Voyager made since Message in a bottle i'd give this counter argument: before the doctor gave sex ed to MK.2 Voyager made, by your own estimates, around 10K+ light years of shortcuts. I guess that perhaps Starfleet believed that they would have eventualy found shorter cuts and so factored them in the probability machine.
But how much of a shortcut? 15000 from stealing borg transwarp stuff? 200 from using the underspace? 1000 from using the catapult? Those are vastly different results.
I think the reason the Maquis crew members aren’t in uniform is because these are the images which Starfleet had on file when the holodeck simulation was made
It wouldn't be the issue to put them into starfleet uniforms, it's the holodeck after all. It wasn't an issue on the actual ship either. So them running around in their marquis attire was probably done on purpose to make it obvious that the simulation is a bit different. For an in-universe explanation, yeah, either they kept with the old documentation or the Doc simply didn't tell them that they got proper uniforms. It's such a minor detail that it doesn't matter for the journey at large.
I thought “told them everything” was more of a cliff’s notes version. Like “We saved the Maquis. They are filling spots for lost crew. “ Barclay also fantasizes a lot. That simulation is probably half what he wishes was happening on Voyager.
Yeah, that is my idea s well. He told them the Marquis are folded into the crew, but the detail on uniforms is irrelevant to that. Janeway could've ordered that everyone runs around naked and it wouldn't matter.
@@HappyBeezerStudiosAgreed, plus he only met Chakotay and Torres prior to them getting uniforms so it’s normal and unremarkable for the Maquis to be in uniform for him.
"Pretty sure he's breaking his ethical subroutines on client confidentiality, but we're celebrating, so fuck it." Can confirm, I was once trailed to be a social worker (wasn't for me, long story) and in our class entirely on ethical practices, we covered this. As long as you have a champagne flute in your hand and are surrounded by at least four other individuals, client confidentiality may be superseded by your need to tell an amazingly hilarious and/ or embarrassing story about them, for the good of the party's vibe. Prosecco is NOT valid, and will lead to an inquiry by the ethics board.
Compared to his case on the Enterprise, Reginald appeared more controlled in the Voyager simulation and actually focused on trying to help the crew. I remember it was implied that he used to spank Holo-Crusher, I understood the real one used to be an asshole but he was still a teenager.
Space Dog, you can just fiddle with the Doc's ethical sub routines. It's easy and everyone does it. I did like this episode, mostly Dwight Schultz's performance, although it was nice to see Troi in a uniform (it raises her IQ a lot). It did look like the team on this one paid attention, I think the Maquis uniforms is to infer that not all the info from the Doc was passed down so your theory does have merit. Barclay is the type of person who would want to get everything as accurate as possible (perhaps not personalities but definitely the other things). A small touch but something I did like was when Barclay's boss realises Barclay's plan did work, he doesn't try to take credit or muscle in. instead he admits he was wrong and helps.
Yeah Midas really doesn't make sense since a com's array can't turn anything into gold. Also the dude playing Barkly's boss voices Sully in the uncharted games, so that was cool to recognize him the last time I saw this one.
I thought Tom's dad looked way too old. I did like this episode because of the character Reg Barkley. Everything always works out for the best in his bumbling way.
6:18 Awww, come on. Do you seriously think a computer controlled lock will stop a senior engineer? It would be silly if he couldn't just bypass every security measure. They are not in a prison, they are privacy locks.
It's an official Starfleet research facility that controls a piece of tech capable of creating particle beams strong enough to influence cosmic phenomena, and with sufficient security coverage that a call brings multiple teams of guards. Even if all of that wasn't true, having the gubbins for the lock in an unsealed panel *below the lock* is just laughable. You might as well just leave it unlocked with a polite note not to trespass.
supposedly everyone in the future learns calculus in 5th grade (TNG 1x17 "When The Bough Breaks") Barclay is no smarter at security than the people in charge of designing the door lock.
We also see them in the Voyager season 2 episode "Non Sequitur", specifically the bathroom of Kim's apartment with Libby. A good question though, and one that made me go check.
To be fair if anyone was going to end up on what ever the equivalent the federation has to 6 o'clock new for braking into a random house. It would be Barckly Not out of malice mind you but the universe just loves to conspiracy to dick him over. Frankly it's the universe having mercy on barckly that he didn't end up.on the equalnox or voyager
The idea you had about the marcui is bloody brilliant mate, it would also explain why seven isn't in the holo deck barckly made. He might be to low on the totem pole to know, if the idea that a coined star fleet captain is willing to imbrace former terrorists. Though I suspect with the out brake of the Dominion war more than a few people fell like the marcus might have be justified. Or even more blame hosted on them. But the idea that same captain made an alliance with the borg and how has a former drone as a part of her sinour staff. Would be as the youth say, a fucking political shit show
You can't use a random name for Barclay! He is a recurring guest character across both TNG and VOY. At least call him "Broccoli" for consistency. I usually love your analysis and observations, but I think you really missed the mark on this one. But it's also one of my favorite VOY episodes so I guess we can just chalk that up to YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary)
I guess the option of buggering off to another world, and the removal of rich people hoarding shit, means everybody gets a decent bit of space. Not needing office blocks probably doesn't hurt either.

Been waiting for this episode
It’s one of my favorites
Really emotional at the end
One blinking nose hair trimmer shone to a plexiglass plate is enough to break into a super secret lab. . .
This was the first Voyager episode to actually make me a bit emotional!
how do you think Starfleet would react when they find out about capitan Ransom?
to the problem of the distance cuts Voyager made since Message in a bottle i'd give this counter argument:

Okay dumb question is this the first time we see doors with handles on them in Star Trek (on earth).
No, in TNG episode "The First Duty", Wesley's bedroom has a door with a handle.
We also see them in the Voyager season 2 episode "Non Sequitur", specifically the bathroom of Kim's apartment with Libby. A good question though, and one that made me go check.

Barckley was my least favourite character in the last Star Trek
I didn't like this episode when I first saw it because I was new to Star Trek and so didn't know who Barclay and Troi were.
But again i digress!!!
Can someone explain what the name "Murdock Muppet" refers to? Or is that only known to the partron who suggested it?
Dwight Schultz played Murdock in The A-Team, an 80's TV show of action foolishness.
