The classic series are fantastic. While I like "Star Wars," "Star Trek "owns my heart. Although I am still watching Voyager an have not seen a single episode of "Enterprise," "Deep Space 9" is easily my top #1 western SciFi series. It is (in contrast to "Star Wars") aimed at grown-ups. diff --git a/content/star-trek/tng/crew.md b/content/star-trek/tng/crew.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..a072ab5 --- /dev/null +++ b/content/star-trek/tng/crew.md @@ -0,0 +1,56 @@ +--- +title: "Crew of The Next Generation" +category: +- star-trek +- st-tng +abstract: The crew of USS Enterprise during TNG +date: 2023-11-17T21:18:18+01:00 +draft: false +--- +The greatest thing about serving aboard Enterprise-D was the crew. +I loved each and every one of them. +They felt like friends, like family. + +What helped to create that bond was the free time activities I could witness. +Picard's Shakespearean's performances; Riker's concerts; Data's poetry readings. + +Even in the grimmest of circumstances, everyone remained professional and human. +This is what I miss the most in recent stories, the human part. + +This is the greatest crew of I have ever met. + +### Captain Jean-Luc Picard + +{{<img-pull-right "st-tng-picard.jpeg">}} +Picard was 51 when he became the captain of USS Enterprise. +His age surely helped him at the command, but also made it more difficult to deal with the crew +Enterprise-D was created in time of relative peace, so it was not a warship. +It was designed to accommodate entire families and so the crew was living with their children. +And if there are two things Picard could not stand, one of those were children. + +He kept a clear line between himself and his crewmates. +Yes, he bonded, and the bond changed him - but he was the commander, so his will would always need to be final. +This is why he allowed the rest of the crew to spend time together but without him - they needed to rely on each other as mates, but the commander can not become one. +This made him a bit of loner, always skipping late night poker games. + +The deck was his entire world. +Picard is a born diplomat, always ready to create peace instead of conflict - be it when dealing with the crew or with treats. + +### Commander William T.

Jenway agrees, and Voyager fires torpedoes as it enters the vortex. The episode ends with the crew seeing stars again. ### Impressions What a nice start for season 6, but also a wasted potential. While the main plot is what Star Trek does best and the special effects are becoming great, the period between entering the void and the ship losing power could be filled with the crew's intimate moments. I said it before, and I'll repeat it - Voyager is in deep need of idle moments where people could simply hang out. Some chats, some banter, maybe a dinner or a classic concert. Next Generation's greatest strength was not in the SciFi elements but in the people living on Enterprise. I understand that Voyager faces incomparable dangers. Picard was always close to home, so even in the most severe of circumcisions could ask for help from Starfleet. Voyager, however, is always in hostile space, fighting for resources. Jenwey keeps her humanity and hunger for exploration, but her mission is survival. But why can't we have a Shakespearean performance? Yes, we get glimpses here and there, but we deserve more. -But what strikes me most is how Jenway grew on me. First, she annoyed me. She was always the loudest and greatest. She knew tactics better than her military officers, engineering better than her engineers, and perfect diplomacy? For here is just another Tuesday. She was the anti-Picard, who always treated his crew with dignity and admiration (sans Wesley) But I learned that she is the captain Voyager needs. The Delta Quadrant is so hostile that the crew needs a decisive leader. She also changed however. She knows that she puts the crew at constant risk, and this is the episode that confronts it. +But what strikes me most is how Jenway grew on me. First, she annoyed me.

There is no fight in her, but rather a relief. The old Jenway would not agree to a plan contrary to her own. The previous 4 years in the Quadrant have taught her to trust others. I wonder if this will in anyway impact her in the future. +There's a lot more to her that she allows the crew (and the viewer) to see.

To prevent it, the crew sends the probe into the gas planet's atmosphere. Malon's ship follows the probe and is subsequently crashed. Paris presents a design for Delta Flyaer, a specialized shuttlecraft based on Starfleet's and Borg's technology. Malons want the probe as the resources it collected are too valuable, and, as Jenway puts it, we've got a space race. diff --git a/content/star-trek/voyager/05x04-in-the-flesh.md b/content/star-trek/voyager/05x04-in-the-flesh.md index a6c2c8f..3b0a7b6 100644 --- a/content/star-trek/voyager/05x04-in-the-flesh.md +++ b/content/star-trek/voyager/05x04-in-the-flesh.md @@ -1,15 +1,12 @@ --- title: "Star Trek: Voyager 05x04 - In the Flesh" -category: Star-Trek +category: +- star-trek +- st-voy abstract: date: 2023-05-23T20:04:15+02:00 year: 2023 draft: false -tags: -- Star-Trek -- Star-Trek-Voyager -- Star-Trek-Voyager-season-5 -- Species-8472 --- The crew encounters what appears to be Earth's Starfleet Acadamy.
