Star Trek Voyager, 3x26 - Basics, part 1

Captain Kathryn Janeway as a Brilliant Tactician, part 1, 2, 3 (version 1) (version 2)

This battle is often overlooked but I think this is also an amazing showcase for Janeway and the Voyager crew.

Voyager was up against 4 large Kazon (formerly Trabé ships). Significantly larger than Voyager many times over. Janeway's other talent is bringing together all the suggestions her crew threw together and executing it.

In this instance, using deflector and holo-technology to create ships to draw fire from Voyager.

Plus Janeway's job is to time their attacks precisely. One of the first example of Janeway having nerves of steel. She had to be patient and not let the distance or number of her enemies spooke her.

Voyager was winning the battle against the big Kazon-Nistrim ships-- until the moment their Kazon prisoner blew himself up, sabotaging Voyager.

(Honestly, I wish they repeated this tactic in other battles because it worked really well).

This is just a taste of the war leader Janeway becomes.

Anthony De Longis is so freaking awesome.

So I recently found out that the guy who plays Maje Culluh on Star Trek Voyager, aside from being an actor, is a master swordsman, stunt coordinator, fight choreographer, martial artist, and an absolute BOSS at the bullwhip (he taught Michelle Pfeiffer how to use it in her role as Catwoman, and Harrison Ford for Indiana Jones 4), and went toe-to-toe with Jet Li in Fearless. AND he can do all those stunts…on horseback.  

(De Longis’s fight is at the 1:12 mark.)

Also? He was one of Garrett Wang’s (Harry Kim) teachers at UCLA. And he starred in the Masters of the Universe film alongside Robert Duncan McNeill (Tom Paris; he held him at knifepoint in one scene). From what I could find on him on YouTube, he seems like an awesome guy, super nice, well-spoken, and a great teacher.

This guy is SO GOD DAMN COOL. Culluh deserved way better than what we got with him. Knife fight with other Kazon Majes when? Never? Not even a beatdown against Chakotay or Tuvok, or even attempting fighting B’Elanna with a bat’leth? We have been robbed.

Prodigy keeps having the Kazon show up in all these different parts of the galaxy including places that are distinctly in the Alpha Quadrant and whenever they show up all I can ever think is

[ilovefredjones]

i know he didn’t bc he definitely would’ve said something but it would’ve be so funny if dal was hearing zero and maj’el’s telepathic flirting the whole time

I argee there are some things you can defer from lines and on screen appearance but I do wish there was more

My personal thoughts on what caused the divide between them was probably the lack resources Neelix in the Pilot of VOY says "the Kazon Sects control this part of the quadrant some have food some have ore some have water they all trade and kill each other for it" that and pre existing grudges between Sects because the Trabe pitted them against each other until they worked together and overthrow the Trabe

Also maybe the differences in Culture from the Ogla showing disdain for technology in the episode with the children coming of age while the Nistrim are almost obsessed with it another thing from that same episode Ogla don't wear uniforms because it reminds them of the Trabe but the Pommar sect all wear matching uniforms so it's clear they all have innate cultural differences

And I'd imagine they home world would be dry and sunny because they seem to have sun blotches and discoloration on their skin from the sun but maybe that's because they come from a different climate and their bodies don't react well to dry and sunny climates but I personally think a volcanic planet would be cool but that's a opinion

I wish we got to learn more about the Kazon as a culture. They have really interesting parallels with Federation races, but are also plenty different. I wanna know more about the sects and what caused the divide between all of them. The episode with the children coming of age felt like the most intimately we were ever gonna get to know them, but it could've gone a lot deeper! What's the Kazon homeworld like???

Some slightly more alien Delta Quadrant folks for Voyager to bump into.

I re-watched the episode and realized that all Culluh requested was a Crewman swap not switching ships or anything and the swap was something that Starfleet already did in the "Officer Exchange Program" featured in episodes "TNG A Matter Of Honor" "TNG Sins Of The Father" "TNG The Drumhead" it wasn't a unreasonable request either

Then they go and finding the people who basically enslaved Kazon less then one generation ago to make allies no wonder after that all the Kazon Sects were distrustful of Voyager after that

“Alliances” (S02E15, Stardate 49397.4) is not Janeway’s finest outing. What could have been an opportunity for her to explore looking beyond rigid borders became an exercise in poor judgement and blunders that earn Voyager their reputation among the Kazon. And she gets to act righteous at the end?

*Minor here means a combination of "not well-known" and "not focused on by the show" - as well as "unpopular" because I didn't want to have one poll and skew the votes by having Klingons next to the Suliban.

(I am defining "enemy species" here as a species that frequently plays/played the role of villain, specifically within the context of behaving aggressively toward the main characters/the Federation as a unit. This is why the Orions are not on here; they don't go to war with the Federation or anything, it's just individual members of the species being jerks/doing various shady dealings for the Syndicate. Even if a species later becomes allied with the Federation, they are still included here (hence the Xindi).)

Galactic Gazetteer: Tarok

Class: M

Quadrant: Delta

Type: moon

Location: orbit of unnamed gas giant around a K-class star

Inhabitants: none

Claimed by: Kazon-Ogla

Appearance: VOY "Initiations" (1995)

Fun fact: used as a training camp for initiates by the Kazon-Ogla, who would dump them on the moon to test their fighting and survival skills.

Another fun fact: another world filmed at Vasquez Rocks!

Toying with an idea of redesigning the Kazon to be less “dollar store Klingon” and do something a little more... idk, different?

Top half, more humanoid or rather actor friendly design while the bottom is a little more alien. Westmore talked about taking inspiration from roosters and vultures for the forehead design, so I took that a step further and looked at various crested theropods. Ultimately I just love a big colorful display!

Mostly just for fun.

Since I'm doing the rounds of the early seasons of Voyager, I wish some erstwhile Kazon stumble into Voyager again and earn the ire of Later Season!Janeway.

Her general IDGAF attitude and faster sable rattling + genuine threat to blow a nasty guy out of the water is always fun and even more fun when it's against a Kazon.

I'd love to see a Kazon try their nonsense on later seasons Janeway.

Or somehow, they stumble into the Year Of Hell!Janeway.

Seriously, that would be a suicide run for a Kazon.

I seldom agree with fan-received wisdom, but it's on the money when it comes to Kazon. Especially since there are some Borg enhancements to Voyager now. And Seven has the Borg impatience for Kazon.

They commit the worst sin a villain can commit, they're boring.

Confession #130

"Given that Kazons and Pakleds have reputations for not being the most intelligent species in the quadrants, I wonder what would happen if a Kazon and a Pakled had a kid together or got the Tuvix treatment."
