A-koo-chee-moya. We are far from the sacred places of our grandfathers and from the bones of our people. But perhaps there is one powerful being who will embrace the wish and give us the Season 3 of Star Trek Prodigy we seek.

So far it's been a lot of me yelling, "A-koo-chee-moya, bitch!" every time I think Chakotay's involved

Star Trek Voyager: Waking Moments (4x13)

Summary: Uhh... *checks notes*... Uhh...

*checking notes intensifies*

Uhh... What the hell was this episode even about??

Comments: Apparently this was a forgettable episode. Let’s see... 

This episode was written by André Bormanis, who is one of the scientists on the show’s payroll that provides verification that they’re not writing things that are outside of the realm of scientific possibility. His background is obvious from the juvenile-level character work here. 

Okay, so the crew is having nightmares and the same alien keeps appearing across all their dreams. When they finally put it together, it’s too late and they’re all trapped in the dream world, except for Chakotay, who—by virtue of his Native American magic (or something)—can recognize that he’s in a dream.

A-koo-chee-moya, bitches!

—Chakotay, probably

So everyone’s having nightmares. I’m not a writer (clearly), but if I were to write a nightmare for Paris, it would involve, say, having Janeway lose confidence in Paris or learning that—after years aboard a Starfleet vessel—he’s losing his edge and becoming stale. You know, deeply personal stuff. 

Okay, so what’ve you got for us Bormanis? What’s Tom’s nightmare about?

Well... Paris is a pilot right? So... his nightmare is about flying poorly! He’s a bad pilot! 

Ahh~ *waves hands around dramatically*

Er, okay, let’s give that another try. How about... Janeway? What would Janeway have a nightmare about?

Well... Janeway is obsessed with getting her crew home, right? Remember how that was a big deal in that alternate timeline that never happened? So... let’s make her find her crew frozen (?) to death in the mess hall! 

Uh oh! She didn’t get them in home in time! *waves hands around dramatically*

Er... okay, one more try. How about... Tuvok? This one should be easy.

Well... Tuvok is a Vulcan, right? So let’s make him have a human dream about showing up to work naked! That also has the benefit of being super cliche! 

Ahh~ *waves hands*

I mean, seriously. Not a good script, buddy. 

My enjoyment: 2/5

By the way, the screenshot shows the bridge crew’s reaction to Tuvok appearing on the bridge naked. The director probably just told them to act however they wanted, because they’re all different. 

In more detail, the reactions are:

“I don’t remember seeing that on your physical exam!”

Super jelly. 

This is the face of a man who’s just realized he might be into other dudes.

Again, Tuvok? Seriously? We talked about this.

Torres has realized dating Paris was a mistake.

“Damn, bro.” *fist bump*

LOL... 

No, but seriously, what kinda of reaction is Janeway having there?

[welcometobajor]

EMH: Please state the nature of the medical emergency

Ensign: *vague, never before seen condition which the doc has no idea how to treat*

Seven: I suggest we modify some of my nanoprobes in order to treat the patient

Tuvok: *runs in* No, I will attempt to perform..a mind meld

Chakotay: *transports into sick bay* A-koo-chee-moya. We are far from the bones of our people

Nelix: *shoves past chakotay, trips and pours Leola root stew everywhere*

Captain Janeway: *time travels in and breaks the prime directive*

Tom Paris: *tries to sleep with the ensign*

Do you have to say a-koo-chee-moya before lucid dreaming or can you just raw dog it?
