 Hello and welcome to my little Star Trek fan site!
 Why Star Trek?
 Well, I consider it to be [the greatest Sci-fi series of all time](/star-trek/star-wars-or-star-trek/).
 However, I am not long-time fan.

 I've seen the first two seasons of Picard but have enjoyed none. While the first was ok as a longer mediocre episode of TNG, the second was a trainwreck. The characters became even more unlikable, the story was boring, and nothing connected them to the old Trek.

 abstract: Why I consider Star Trek to be best western SciFi series

 For me, the answer is clear: "Star Trek". 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.

+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.

 ### 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.

-There's a lot more to her that she allows the crew (and the viewer) to see. She is fully aware of the burden on her arms and how much she relies on her judgment. This is why the mutiny is fulfilling. She finally allows the crew to decide! 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.

 ### Synopsis
 Voyager's probe is launched at a gas giant, but Malons spot it and attempt to capture it. 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.

After an investigation (and seduction) conducted by Chakotay, it is revealed that it's a training replica of the site - one of many training grounds for Species 8472.

 Due to Kim's calculation error, the Voyager crashes on a frozen planet, killing the entire crew. Only Chakotay and Kim, who were not on the ship during the incident, survived. Somehow they manage to reach Earth but are hunted by the memory of being the cause of death of the entire crew.
