every single time i go crazy for tuvok denying that his family would be worried about him, as thats an emotional response, but he does immediately accept that they miss him. "as do i." hes everything

Janeway accused of being UNETHICAL

[gildedsunshine]

why do actors from the 90s have the biggest saddest babiest brown eyes. how am i supposed to not fall in love with them.

[daforged]

this episode is so fucking funny purely because of chakotay first being like “lol good luck with the maquis crewmembers that are misbehaving” ribbing tuvok about it but the literal first minute shit goes south for real he’s like “if you disrespect tuvok again i am going to get nasty” and punches a guy

He really cares, KJ

The first time I watched Coda, I got all fixated on Chakotay putting his ACTUAL lips on Janeway's ACTUAL lips.

Breathe. Breathe. Breeeeeeeathe.

And his absolute groundswell of emotion over losing her... not to go all 18th Century Poet on this love story, but damn, a guy who grieves like that has send-me-to-an-asylum-on-the-Moor levels of love for this lady.

Swoon. Move over, Rochester.

But then, the funeral.

What the actual stoic? Why so eyes dry Chakotay? Et tu, Commander?

Upon a recent re-watch, I realized that Chakotay on the planet with the CPR lips and the grieving is how he reacts in real-time to Kathryn's real-time death.

The funeral, on the other hand, is a manipulated, imagined version of how people feel about her. Yes, there are some kind words, but not nearly enough grief from everyone.

Especially Colonel Chakotay Rochester...

While watching Coda this time, I realized that the funeral isn't evidence of how people actually feel about her. It's evidence of how she believes she is regarded by her crew.

And how she believes she is regarded by Chakotay.

It's also demonstrative of how much she has distanced herself from romance in order to survive this DQ life. She can't believe that Chakotay would grieve or struggle with the depth of emotion he feels for her because that would mean she has to admit her own feelings.

Or worse: she genuinely can't accept that he cares about her that deeply...

Either way, it's an unforgettable character moment.

He really does care. She really can't see that care.

Daft, lovable idiots.

2.25 “Resolutions” // 4.02 “The Gift”

The episode Prototype is a prime example of why B’Elanna is such a good engineer. She excels at improvising new solutions in situations she has no way of predicting she’ll end up in. This is obviously partially due to her experience as an engineer with the Maquis where improvisation with far from ideal resources was necessary to survive. B’Elanna’s construction of the robot in Prototype demonstrates her ability to work extremely well under pressure in situations where she has no prior experience with what to do – no rulebook to follow. This improvisational ability coupled with B’Elanna’s passion for building and fixing things and her strong drive to realize her vision make her practically unbeatable. What other engineer could have done a better job getting Voyager through the Delta Quadrant safely and in one piece (if altered in many fundamental ways) than B’Elanna?

the best part about starting a voyager rewatch is reexperiencing how gorgeous the theme song is and knowing that im about to hear it 171 more times

[videoworm]

im at the episode where B'Elana get depression and every time im so mad shes magically healed after 1 episode bc its actually good representation.

they got the emotional numbness the depersonalization the self-isolation, the trouble making decisions, zoning out, ect... B'Elana is normally a character i care less about but in this episode she hits the nail on the head!

cheesecake diplomacy is so very star trek i love it

[daforged]

u know that post thats like “how are moms able to send out the most absolutely noxious poison vibes without saying a word” ok that but tuvok absolutely has that capability. making the air unbreathable by very slightly raising an eyebrow and with the most imperceptible of frowns
