I am a PhD graduate who spent a decade researching representations of women and female action heroes in popular culture. On this channel I share all that I have learned in the form of a podcast and videos containing extra content, as well as some cool facts that you might not have known about all your favorite movies and TV series and video games. ~~
Complete character assassination. Remember when Star Trek was hopeful? Seven's entire arc was about becoming human, but we missed all of that to see her become a borg-terminator powered by revenge.
You can tell that they’re all fascinated by Starfleet, even Dal despite his reservations and, as a Voyager fan, it’s extra cool that Janeway gets to tell them about it, even if it’s the hologram Janeway.
"Nothing but net." - Sigourney Weaver; talking in an interview about that shot. There are outakes where you could see Perlman breaking character grinning after Weaver made that no look shot. He also said that was real.
Wait. Your telling me that the Yutani corporation is stupid enough to not notice that Ripley 8 is their bio weapon that they were hopping to make? A super soldier with immense strength, acid blood and Xenomorph instinct like Alice is in Resident evil and Captain America in Marvel.
Pretty much all of encounters with the Borg on VOY were well done. Except in Dark Frontier episode where 7 is taken by the queen. Now, most of the events in those 2 episodes were fine, its at the very end when JAneway was in the Queen's chamber that things went a bit... south. Namely in the sense that it took the drones quite a bit of time to try and assimilate 7 and Janeway after the Queen issued the order, and enough time to 7 explain to Janeway about the vulnerability in the node? Nah... they would have been taken by then... I would have preferred if the exchange was modified so that 7 disrupts control and JAneway knew where she had to fire. After that, it was also a tad of a stretch to think that the Flyer could take on that many torpedoes in TW and come out alive, or that the Borg would be missing so many times (but 7 was onboard potentially disrupting the Borg targeting scanners, so that may have played a part, and it wasn't their intention of destroying the shuttle still, but to capture it).
they should've had it where the cube survived the crash, goes back in orbit and tussles with the romulan fleet. A cube vs a fleet, that'd be awesome to see.....again
The whole point of the Borg was they were a faceless menace with no big vulnerable spots. If the Queen had just gone "Go ahead, kill me and I'll just switch to a different body" it would have made more sense.
Amazing they found a vocal sample of Odo doing a dismissive grunt. They must have combed through hundreds of hours of DS9 footage to find that one clip.
@@daustin8888they killed him offscreen, making him rather cheap. All this so-called “invincibility” just to die offscreen is JMO, grade school level stupid.
I just realized that the Borg queen in the Voyager finale was played by Alice Krige reprising her role from Star Trek: First Contact. In all other Voyager episodes the Borg Queen was played by Susanna Thompson
