Ensign Boimler tangled in wires | Strange New Worlds: Those Old Scientists

[pumpkinrootbeer]

voyager has everything. sexual tension between every member of the crew, a strange emotional support little man they picked up off the street, a captain pushed to the brink who constantly has to betray her own morals to try and save everyone in the end, a girl who like. becomes a weird non corporeal space entity and just like. evaporates into space and that's the last we see of her?? borg. an ensign who: has invented warp 10, saved the ship single handily multiple times, has zero rizz, is somehow always working, a senior member of the crew, died at least twice, and despite all that never gets a promotion. lizard sex, dubious ethics, if HIPAA wished to be a real boy, steven universe fusion, boy AND girl failures, and coffee in that nebula.

Just watched the Voyager Lower Decks episode and I love the thought of Voyager's crew being there on opening day. Tom Paris is of course front and center being asked questions and joking with all the starry-eyed ensigns and Harry's shaking that Historian's hand, nodding and smiling as the man eagerly tells him what an honor it is to finally-! Then Chakotay shows up, a little bit late but with a big grin on his face as he walks up to Janeway and Tuvok who're discussing something amongst themselves.

"Hey there," Janeway smiles. Tuvok nods towards him. "Hey," Chakotay grins, practically radiating a mischievous glee. "You'll never guess what just happened on the Cerritos."

I don’t like melting down characters to just one character trait but Chekov is just a little baby. He’s an infant he’s just a boy.

Poor Chekov

"Could never tell you what happened

The day I turned seventeen

The rise of a king and the fall of a queen

Seventeen, seventeen

Marina diamonds song "Only Seventeen"

When the events of Star Trek 2009 take place Chekov is 17.

He is seventeen when he witnesses the death of almost six billion people.

Seventeen when he saves Sulu and Kirk from slamming to their deaths but minutes later loses Amanda as the surface of Vulcan gives way & he is unable to lock onto her signal. He's a child, the death of someone else's mother is on his hands.

Chekov watched as a few elders and Spock appeared in the transporter, saw the look of devastation on his face as Spock realized his mother was now gone. They returned to the bridge and watched as a planet died, knowing there was nothing to be done about it.

Chekov's calculations were correct and it must have been the worst feeling in the universe. He had to hope - even if it was just in the back of his head - that he was wrong. He had most likely never wished for anything more in his young life.

All of this... only to then be present when Kirk forced Spock into showing that he was emotionally compromised. Hearing Kirk goad Spock with, "It must not even compute for you. You never loved her!" only to see someone he most likely admires lose his mind. No one on the bridge, except his father, could have imagined Spock in such a state.

You can't convince me that Chekov didn't internalize that. He had to have been feeling poorly as it was - to run through the halls shouting, "I can do that I can do that!" and save two men only to lose someone a few moments later in a similar situation. I know I'm repeating myself here but I remember being 17 and internalizing all kinds of things.

The one break Chekov probably had was taken from him when Spock snapped. To see Spock react logically must have been a level of comfort, even if on some level Chekov knew it was probably a lie.

And then to be the one that came up with the plan to hide the entirety of the Enterprise??? To go through all of that and still be mentally present is a kind of strength that is unimaginable for me.

I like to think that after the events of that day McCoy is making his rounds, checking in on everyone. When he gets to Chekov the kid smiles and says, "Everything is fine with me, sir."

McCoy gives him a look before responding, "Ever eager, huh? You didn't even let me ask my question."

"What question is that?"

"How are you?"

Three simple words. And Chekov's illusion he built for himself shatters.

Seeing Vulcan destroyed was bad enough. But he hasn't been able to sleep without seeing Amanda disappear from the screen, seeing Spock hit Kirk over and over with displaced rage, hearing Spock's voice shake as he says, "Doctor, I am no longer fit for duty. I here by relinquish my command based on the fact that I have been emotionally compromised. Please note the time and date in the ship's log.", or waking up scared that Spock will blame him, because why wouldn't he?

thinking about the more fucked up implications of Sisko and Curzon's relationship again...

Something about Curzon having been Benjamin's mentor since he was an ensign, or possibly a teen cadet (different episodes imply one or the other) + the implied sexcapades they were involved in together (theres a few implied threesomes and foursomes that get brought up), some very possibly when Sisko was still a junior officer given that he was married later on + how Curzon treated Jadzia, who was his junior in another organization.

The fact that Sisko remarks upon Curzon as manipulative, selfish, and arrogant. and that "Most people let him get away with it because he was so charming. Sometimes I let him get away with it too. But from time to time he'd push me too far and I'd have to stand up to him, tell him he'd crossed the line." But also, Sisko claims Curzon is more understanding of improperity than he is (context: the ambassadors episode off Julian contemplating hitting one of them to get out of adult baby sitting duty)... Jadzia mentions that Curzon "always warned" Sisko about him temper in an exchange that implies Curzon and Sisko thought some degree of direct physical violence was occasionally appropriate in a friendship, so long as both were men. However, iirc, Sisko is never violent in his friendships with men that we actually see outside of when he is betrayed by them, and even that doesn't involve hitting each other. Curzon, by the time he met Sisko, had spent decades as a Klingon ambassador already, and especially kept the community of military men. This doesn't mean this naturally inclines him to violence or that Klingons themselves are specially violent, but there is a martial honor culture among Klingons that is easy to distort as an excuse.

Sisko's strength is his flexibility and malleability- he doesn't wear masks (like Garak), he pours himself into new shape. But this can also be a weakness used against him, especially by someone noted to be manipulative. Was Sisko the one with the temper? Or was he matching an expectation and energy that was already there?

i'm suddenly thinking about rockstar!eddie shooting a music video on some naval ship and meeting actual sailor!steve who's all dressed up in his whites 'cause eddie's a big name star and the captain said everyone had to look their best and eddie immediately folding for the pretty guy in uniform

just: eddie wanting a couple of the guys to act in the video 'cause hopefully then they'd actually know what they're doing, and asking the capt to point out his most competent sailor. the capt immediately points out one of his low-ranking ensigns (like, brand new baby officer 'cause that's the kinda shit an officer would pull) and eddie, having been raised by wayne (who i'm hc-ing as a navy vet) knows better and is immediately like "No sir, I said your most competent, not your least. someone point me to THE second class. Where's he? I need an enlisted guy." and a higher-ranking chief that's been following the band around the ship all day bellows out a laugh and says "You're gonna want Harrington, Mr. Munson."

idk idk, it's niche but for some reason my mind went into the cold clammy depths of my time in the navy this morning and i was like 'NOPE! don't wanna dwell here, make it fun! make it about the blorbos so you dont get sad!!' lmao
