I thought it was actually quite kind of Barclay to do the live view of Earth. They haven't seen it for so long, it's good to see that it hasn't changed too much.
Indeed. They could pull up a image of it at anytime or create it on the holodeck. But that image coming through is the real thing, in real time. Still there, waiting for them to come home. A very sweet gesture.
Its little things like this that made me love Barclay. They could have gone over a situation report or something with the admiral but that really wouldn't do much. On the other hand, Barclay thought to give them a picture of home. He took the time to think about what they needed and what he could do to help.
Janeway was the perfect Captain for Voyager, and Mulgrew was THE perfect actress for the role!!! Stern when she had to be, but still retained her emotional and motherly side. Love this show.
Mulgrew was actually the SECOND choice to play Janeway. Genevieve Bujold was actually supposed to play her. She was not aware of everything needed for a TV show and thought it to be too hectic of a schedule for her(( she had always done movies)) So bujold left
@bigmike2464 yeah, and the first one was such a milquetoast Janeway that they would have killed her off or canceled the show. I've seen the recorded scenes. Def dodged a bullet with that casting change.
Off all the Alpha Quadrant powers it's only the Federation than I can see expending so much effort, time, and resources to recover one ship, especially considering what else was happening at that time.
@@blawson3603 I tend to agree. For instance, while war is horrible, it is through the crucible of wartime that most of the largest scientific & medical advances are made. (the World Wars caused HUGE technological jumps. Not worth it, in my opinion, given the millions of deaths, but the point stands) Similarly, an intense, focused project like this won't only save a couple hundred lives, (if successful) but will bring forth many scientific theories that probably wouldn't have even been conceived otherwise.
@WMA Foolish human. No Cardassian ship ever gets lost. It merely had an unscheduled six-year diversion into the Delta Quadrant, on a secret intelligence mission from the Obsidian Order. It will return to Cardassia exactly as we had planned, with zero casualties and nothing but goodwill from the peoples of the Delta Quadrant for the enlightenment and order we have brought to their worlds. For the glory of Cardassia!
@@sharkdentures3247 That's actually a common misconception. Countries that scientifically advance during war are rare. The Dark ages were wall to war war and they didn't invent anything. We just think otherwise because WWII was the definitive war for our times and the top 3 countries were making scientific and engineering advances like mad.
@@jasonbriski5048 Defiantly this, especially post-war, the fleet probably still hurting from that damage both in material and personnel the war caused. Not only was helping Voyager the right thing to do, but it was something they could do that was more in line with the spirit of Starfleet.
He undoubtedly spent a lot of time on Earth, years probably if not decades. It might not be Vulcan, but I'm sure he highly appreciates the view of something so familiar regardless.

Commander Tuvok has been in Starfleet since the 23rd century she was aboard the USS Excelsior NX 2000-A under the command of Captain Sulu Commander Tuvok still has his uniform from the 23rd century
So during the late TNG era (around the time of PIC), there's an "Excelsior 2" class. The prototype of which, the Excelsior-A, would likely be marked "NX-2000-A" during testing. But that's not what Tuvok serves on. Maybe. Tuvok serves on the original Excelsior NCC-2000 under Sulu, during the time frame of STVI. That's about a decade after its own testing (as NX-2000 under Styles who did nothing wrong) is finished.

He spent many years at the academy teaching. Earth was a place he chose to be. He would see it just like how one sees a city they lived in for a while, even if not the place they grew up with, still has strong impact seeing it.
Miss all the TNG derived series 😩 the set designs were so much better than what we get nowadays in the abramaverse with their shiny surfaces, holographic screens and excessive lens flare...
This is the Federation. A world where they made Communism work through sheer, massive, overabundance of every resource anyone could ever want. Everywhere is beautiful on that world. It's the world we should try to build.
@@1969chgoodwin Capitalism doesn't work either, jackass. Socialism is the ideal if it can be forced to work. The problem is, every socialist government that has ever been set up is set up with greed and power in mind. People hoarding resources, just like they do in capitalism. If it's done right, socialism is objectively correct.
How’s the Weather in SF? Cold and rainy as usual. I love that line, cuz being in the future and Risas weather network we know the Federation has technology to control Weather patterns on Earth and all its worlds. In fact we know of this tech from that TNG episode with the young female Q, the continuum wanted back it turned out the Q continuum forced the Earth Weather sats to malfunction causing a highly localized Tornado in the Midwest where her Q parents were living and hiding. An event so unusual cuz they described that there were no tornado’s scheduled to occur. So cold and miserable weather, and tornados getting scheduled. But then I realized, You can’t really make every city on Earth have Mediterranean sunny weather all year round. And weather engineers manage a complex weather network to keep Earths normal biomes and biospheres without allowing destructive patterns to hurt people
Janeway: "How's the weather in San Francisco?" Adm. Paris: "Cold and rainy as usual..." Later in same scene: Reg: "This is a live image from McKinley Station. Uh... Not too much cloud cover over North America today..." Everyone looks at the lack of cloud cover over San Francisco, and quickly Admiral Paris is proven a liar.
We thought you weren't miserable enough, so here's a live view of your home planet that you probably won't ever see again unless you happen to discover a random Borg transwarp hub, but what are the chances of that?
Wasn't it said that they could reach Earth in about 70 years with standard Warp Drives? They just would have been quite old when coming back but in Trek thats no problem with their medical technology. Of course they could always die on the way but that risk is always there on missions for an explorer vessel like the Intrepid class.
@@dereinzigwahreRahl Yes at the beginning they said 70 years. By this point however they'd come across several shortcuts and such that had greatly reduced the journey. A few wormholes, Kess flinging them beyond Borg space, and a new course they discovered when Harry and Seven built the lab they are standing in this video. At this point in the series they'd be old, but the journey is no longer completely unreasonable.
@@brentr9161 Its ashame we never got to see much of the borg space although even thousands of light years away from their space we kept running into them.
My only quibble about the image of Earth is that it's devoid of any starships. Earth is the centre of the Federation, it should be humming with activity. We don't even see a space station or dry dock or anything.
One of the many things I have learned from Star Trek is this: that there's only one ship in the quadrant and it's usually the Enterprise, well the Alpha quadrant anywhere even close to Earth.
If you are the kind of person who would see something like that and get depressed at being unable to get home, rather than motivated to make it home, you're PROBABLY not a good fit for Starfleet.
After the com signal want out for the day. Janeway makes ship wide announcement .. All hands we now officially have reliable comunications with Starfleet. 11 min a day. So start your letters home NOW. Keep them shirt so all xan use the com time.
"Not too much cloud cover over North America today." As a European, these are the moments that reminded me how 'Americanized' the conception of humanity was/is in Star Trek
To be honest its still not as bad as basicly anything compareable. Roddenberry did have a quite progressive vision for the future compared to most other prominent Sci-Fi of the time. When he came up with the stuff there was only 2 significant space programms aswell. And we shouldn't forget that Voyager is one of the worst written Star Trek shows...
Because McKinley station just happened to be centered on North America at the moment? What about in First Contact when Picard points out New Guinea and the Solomon Islands? Is that evidence that First Contact was New-Guinianized?
Medhusalem Plus, every officer in Starfleet had to go to the Academy for four years (not sure about the enlisted personnel), which is located on Earth.
Disagree. Tuvok would find the imagery logical to show considering there was limited bandwidth available and that Reg is human, as well as majority of the Voyager crew. Also, he spent many years teaching at the academy there. So it's not like he's looking at something he never had any connection to.
that would be a bad idea. they still need fuel power and maintain the ship. Also what happens when they run into hostile races and a million other hazards of space... But mostly we the audience needs to be entertained …. watching people sleep sucks!
So.... Something just got me thinking.. They 'normally' communicate via subspace.. which is communication of faster than light. But, as we know from other episodes where a Borg sent a single from the Alpha quadrant to the Delta it would take "x amount of hundreds of years".. 300 was it? Okay, so subspace still takes a long time to travel for communications.. but you CAN send a signal from alpha to delta so, it basically 'goes on forever' got it.. So.. How does a communication relay work where they sent the doctor to the Alpha quadrant? How does putting a relay station extend a signal that goes on forever? How does it speed up a signal that is already going faster than light?
Tuvok’s reaction to seeing the earth is interesting. it is not his home planet. i wonder what he thinks of this gift? i’m sure he misses vulcan. i wonder if he swallowed some vestigial irritation at that. i wonder if he reminded himself that this is a treasured gift for humans. i wonder if he had to tell himself to be silently happy, before telling himself to feel nothing at all.
I'm sure he would personally have preferred something more like data exchange, but would have understood the intense morale boost that the, primarily human, crew received form seeing live feed of their home. The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the one.
@@Alakaizeri think his more sentimental side would have loved a live image of vulcan. but yes, ultimately he would prefer data exchange. tuvok’s respect for emotions and social dynamics was always the most fascinating part of his character to me. this is a man who has decided that these feelings are bad for him. yet he accommodates the feelings of others, where he can. he’s deeply sensitive, but he keeps it all on an intellectual level so it doesn’t affect him. many vulcans think that they are better than humans. tuvok seems to have simply accepted that the vulcan philosophy works better for him than anything else. i enjoy most the company of people with strongly held convictions, who also recognize that those convictions can only be as foolproof as the person who holds them.

Amazing how they are able to communicate with each other without delays over such a distance.
It's simple, you just bounce the tachyon beam off a quantum singularity. Simple!
I love how Tuvak looked at that view of Earth like "Hmmm. What about my fuckin planet, chief?".
Poor Tuvak.
He spent many years at the academy teaching. Earth was a place he chose to be. He would see it just like how one sees a city they lived in for a while, even if not the place they grew up with, still has strong impact seeing it.
that comb over makes barclay look like saul goodman
Richard herd was a good actor. Also liked him in Seaquest, as admiral Noyce.
Rumor has it Reg & Seven received promotions for their work on this project. Harry Kim remained an Ensign for another 4 years.
Barclay cameo in Lower Decks. This must happen.
i agree. Be best buds with Boimler for sure
How appropriate that a "I'm not crying, you're crying" ad played after this.
Surprised that Reg Barclay didn’t end up doing something similar to Wesley Crusher with the time traveller.
He is one of the Federation's most transcendent minds. I'm glad they tapped him to be the one to pull this off.
Miss all the TNG derived series 😩 the set designs were so much better than what we get nowadays in the abramaverse with their shiny surfaces, holographic screens and excessive lens flare...
That'll do, Barclay. That'll do.
"How's the weather in San Francisco?"
"Cold and rainy as usual."
Meanwhile the live feed of Earth having no clouds over San Francisco...
Microclimate. You go 10 min south of SF into San Bruno it'll be sunny and warm.
Always wanted 11 minutes with Janeway.
Earth 🌎 is quite a view from space but when you get close and personal and some areas it’s not so beautiful🥺
One persons not so beautiful area is another’s kingdom. Also the most inhospitable place for us, is a paradise to so many other living creatures.
Beauty is subjective. Also sorry I know I’m probably arguing semantics.
This is the Federation. A world where they made Communism work through sheer, massive, overabundance of every resource anyone could ever want. Everywhere is beautiful on that world.
It's the world we should try to build.
@@Frommerman communism has never worked . It only works in fiction
@@1969chgoodwin Capitalism doesn't work either, jackass. Socialism is the ideal if it can be forced to work. The problem is, every socialist government that has ever been set up is set up with greed and power in mind. People hoarding resources, just like they do in capitalism. If it's done right, socialism is objectively correct.
How’s the Weather in SF?
Cold and rainy as usual.
I love that line, cuz being in the future and Risas weather network we know the Federation has technology to control Weather patterns on Earth and all its worlds. In fact we know of this tech from that TNG episode with the young female Q, the continuum wanted back it turned out the Q continuum forced the Earth Weather sats to malfunction causing a highly localized Tornado in the Midwest where her Q parents were living and hiding. An event so unusual cuz they described that there were no tornado’s scheduled to occur.
So cold and miserable weather, and tornados getting scheduled.
But then I realized, You can’t really make every city on Earth have Mediterranean sunny weather all year round. And weather engineers manage a complex weather network to keep Earths normal biomes and biospheres without allowing destructive patterns to hurt people
"Captain Janeway, it's a pleasure to finally talk to you in person."
????????
Person is visual
yeah life feed of our own home, thanks admin, just why I joined starfleet to see new live feeds of my own planet...
They should live stream coffee pot to delta quadrant as April Fool's joke.
They could livestream an order to the Voyager's replicators I suppose.
Janeway: "How's the weather in San Francisco?"
Adm. Paris: "Cold and rainy as usual..."
Later in same scene:
Reg: "This is a live image from McKinley Station. Uh... Not too much cloud cover over North America today..."
Everyone looks at the lack of cloud cover over San Francisco, and quickly Admiral Paris is proven a liar.
We thought you weren't miserable enough, so here's a live view of your home planet that you probably won't ever see again unless you happen to discover a random Borg transwarp hub, but what are the chances of that?
Wasn't it said that they could reach Earth in about 70 years with standard Warp Drives? They just would have been quite old when coming back but in Trek thats no problem with their medical technology. Of course they could always die on the way but that risk is always there on missions for an explorer vessel like the Intrepid class.
@@dereinzigwahreRahl Yes at the beginning they said 70 years. By this point however they'd come across several shortcuts and such that had greatly reduced the journey. A few wormholes, Kess flinging them beyond Borg space, and a new course they discovered when Harry and Seven built the lab they are standing in this video. At this point in the series they'd be old, but the journey is no longer completely unreasonable.
@@brentr9161 Its ashame we never got to see much of the borg space although even thousands of light years away from their space we kept running into them.
they managed to send the doctor back to the alpha quadrant, pretty sure they could figure out how to send a transport signature back home too
@@dereinzigwahreRahl well, Scotty put himself into transporter stasis for 74 years.. just put the crew on ice and voyager on autopilot
Tuvok: What about my efffing planet?
Who foots the long-distance bill?
My only quibble about the image of Earth is that it's devoid of any starships. Earth is the centre of the Federation, it should be humming with activity. We don't even see a space station or dry dock or anything.
Because most activity with the space station and ships or not in low earth orbit which the stream is of.
One of the many things I have learned from Star Trek is this: that there's only one ship in the quadrant and it's usually the Enterprise, well the Alpha quadrant anywhere even close to Earth.
You'd never see it with this kind of viewpoint, not even in real life. Way, far too small.
I'd rather say the "present" was torture for everyone, Seven excluded
It gave them more motovation to make it home.
If you are the kind of person who would see something like that and get depressed at being unable to get home, rather than motivated to make it home, you're PROBABLY not a good fit for Starfleet.
I wish someone would have said 'Can we see Mars?'
How you spend comm time is up to you
Beam us 10 minutes of memes
Favorite scene EVER!
RIP Captain Galaxy
,,,and then they lost wifi signal!
If there was any proper opportunity to promote Harry Kim, helping establishing a live link across the galaxy should have been it.
Ah yes, brocolli
After the com signal want out for the day. Janeway makes ship wide announcement .. All hands we now officially have reliable comunications with Starfleet. 11 min a day. So start your letters home NOW. Keep them shirt so all xan use the com time.
"Not too much cloud cover over North America today." As a European, these are the moments that reminded me how 'Americanized' the conception of humanity was/is in Star Trek
To be honest its still not as bad as basicly anything compareable. Roddenberry did have a quite progressive vision for the future compared to most other prominent Sci-Fi of the time. When he came up with the stuff there was only 2 significant space programms aswell. And we shouldn't forget that Voyager is one of the worst written Star Trek shows...
Because McKinley station just happened to be centered on North America at the moment? What about in First Contact when Picard points out New Guinea and the Solomon Islands? Is that evidence that First Contact was New-Guinianized?
Tuvok and the non Earth humans would probably roll their eyes. Even many of the human Starfleet officers are not Earth born.
@@SantomPh Yea, but that is the Federation's home planet and main base of operations for a few hundret years now.
Medhusalem Plus, every officer in Starfleet had to go to the Academy for four years (not sure about the enlisted personnel), which is located on Earth.
The cloud cover in the video is the same from the Apollo 17 photograph. Just the geography under the clouds is different.
I first remember him from A Team....
In the first episode (Caretaker)Janeway tells Tom Paris that she served as his father’s science officer on the Albotoni. Here it seems they never met.
"It's a pleasure to finally talk to you in person" could just mean "finally we can video call after all you've been through".
Tuvok wished it was Vulcan.
Daystorm Prize, talk bout Starfleet black site award...
Earth is a wonderful planet, as many of you realise.
tuvok is like "....and"
I subscribe to CBS All Access, (NKA, Paramount Plus), so I can watch the entire Star Trek experience.
goosebumps every time
Still gives me goosebumps
"The A Team" and "V" on "Star Trek" ??
Awww Reg, thank you for making _and_ ruining my day!
Rip Admiral Paris
Ah, the deflector, the technoblade wildcard that can do whatever writers need it to do. XD
In fairness energy manipulation is an easy McGuffin
Oh, Reginald. Is there anything you can't do?
Tuvok be standing there like "Where the fuck be Vulcan? I don't wanna see no earth shit"
Planet Vulcan is a depressing desert rock planet no one wants to look at that damn world from orbit
Disagree. Tuvok would find the imagery logical to show considering there was limited bandwidth available and that Reg is human, as well as majority of the Voyager crew. Also, he spent many years teaching at the academy there. So it's not like he's looking at something he never had any connection to.
Reg was very good.
Yeah, just have the doctor put everyone in statis, set course for home. 70 year nap.
that would be a bad idea. they still need fuel power and maintain the ship. Also what happens when they run into hostile races and a million other hazards of space...
But mostly we the audience needs to be entertained …. watching people sleep sucks!
@@thelightningking9640 Like watching congress pass a bill.
@@Heart2HeartBooks or Biden at a press conference
CLASS !
So.... Something just got me thinking..
They 'normally' communicate via subspace.. which is communication of faster than light.
But, as we know from other episodes where a Borg sent a single from the Alpha quadrant to the Delta it would take "x amount of hundreds of years".. 300 was it?
Okay, so subspace still takes a long time to travel for communications.. but you CAN send a signal from alpha to delta so, it basically 'goes on forever' got it..
So.. How does a communication relay work where they sent the doctor to the Alpha quadrant? How does putting a relay station extend a signal that goes on forever? How does it speed up a signal that is already going faster than light?
Tuvok’s reaction to seeing the earth is interesting. it is not his home planet. i wonder what he thinks of this gift? i’m sure he misses vulcan. i wonder if he swallowed some vestigial irritation at that. i wonder if he reminded himself that this is a treasured gift for humans. i wonder if he had to tell himself to be silently happy, before telling himself to feel nothing at all.
He spent a lot of time on Earth at the academy teaching so it's not like it was foreign imagery he was looking at.
I'm sure he would personally have preferred something more like data exchange, but would have understood the intense morale boost that the, primarily human, crew received form seeing live feed of their home. The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the one.
@@oldtwinsna8347sure. but still, it’s not home. i’ve been to florida but a picture of the beach would hardly mean anything to me.
@@Alakaizeri think his more sentimental side would have loved a live image of vulcan. but yes, ultimately he would prefer data exchange.
tuvok’s respect for emotions and social dynamics was always the most fascinating part of his character to me. this is a man who has decided that these feelings are bad for him. yet he accommodates the feelings of others, where he can. he’s deeply sensitive, but he keeps it all on an intellectual level so it doesn’t affect him.
many vulcans think that they are better than humans. tuvok seems to have simply accepted that the vulcan philosophy works better for him than anything else.
i enjoy most the company of people with strongly held convictions, who also recognize that those convictions can only be as foolproof as the person who holds them.
