    Better pairing than Chakotay and Seven out of nowhere. Glad they showed that didn’t last in Picard.

      That one never made sense. Even Odo and Kira was a bit off, but not as bad as those two.

        Yeah, I’d love to hear the writer’s room justification for that one. If there had to be a romance with Seven, even Harry Kim would be a better choice. At least he admitted he was attracted to her.

        If they had actually given a shit and showed us what happened when Voyager got home, I would have liked to think that, since the mission was over, Janeway and Chakotay could finally admit the feelings they had for each other that was made clear in the early episode where they were stuck on that planet for ages.

          I’ve not rewatched Voyager since its original airing, but my recollection is that they had been playing up a Seven/Doctor pairing for a while and then Chakotay just swept in out of the blue as the Designated Guy in the final episodes. I always wondered if there was pressure against pairing off the two most “synthetic” members of the crew as being too much like having them “keep to their kind?”

            A random crewmember we had never heard of before would have been a better choice than Chakotay.

            That or Robert Beltran complained he had little to do toward the end of the series.

        Odo and Kira was earned.

        Bashir and Ezri… go to horny jail!

          You mean the whole “we’re intelligent, mature adults who can see past our horny” bullshit? Whaaat? You don’t say. At least Odo and Kira have years of shared loathing together.

      I’m not saying I’m tired, but I just spent way too long trying to figure out why you called her Seven out of nowhere… 🫤

      And those kids lived happily ever after… with no assistance, in an unfamiliar environment, never to be heard of again.

        I was really hoping Discovery was going to make their decedents the cause of “The Burn”

          Still would have made more sense.
