Top 5 Voyager episodes! Oh boy! This is hard! I do like quite a bit of Voyager episodes (mostly season 4 onwards), I'm gonna cheat a bit and put 2 episodes as 1.

The Scorpion-The Gift trilogy. For me Scorpion part 1 and 2, and The Gift is a three-parter introduction of Seven of Nine

Scientific Method - JANEWAY FLIES THE VOYAGER BETWEEN BINARY STARS. Discovery had a battle of the binary stars, JANEWAY FLEW BETWEEN BINARY STARS.

Year of Hell. A Classic. Peak Janeway.

Dark Frontier - Borg Queen tries to kidnap Seven of Nine. Seven of Nine learns more about her parents and discovers she's furious about her parents. To the point that she didn't even attempt to rescue her borgified father. (And then 20 years later claims the Borg killed her parents. LOL, that's not what happened Seven).

Night - I love the break-in format in Night as a season premiere. It's not action-packed (except for the last act). It's a slower episode dealing with Janeway's clear depression.

Special mention, most rewatched Voyager episodes:

Survival Instinct - Seven of Nine discovers the consequences of her actions when she was a Drone, in the form of three former Borg.

Barge of the Dead - B'Elenna-centric episode is one of the few B'Elenna episodes, there should have been more.

Tsunkatse - Seven in a battle arena. Almost every show had this episode, but did the other shows have the Rock???? No, they don't. Fun episode, Tuvok and Seven bonding, and Seven angst? What more can you ask?

The Killing Game two-parter. The crew of Voyager become the French Resistance called the Maquis, Janeway in a white suit, and Seven as a chanteuse who is secretly a weapon expert? B'Elenna is still a badass even when she's pregnant. Tuvok, the stoic Vulcan bartender!

Hope and Fear - Lovely episode is about Janeway facing the consequences of allying with the Borg.

The Raven - We learn more about Seven of Nine's past. And Tuvok and Seven's BFF status starts.

Omega Directive - We learn more about Borg mythology and Seven is face to face with the closest thing to divinity she acknowledges.

Relativity - Time Travel shenanigans with Seven of Nine and we learn Janeway is a Menace to Time Travel. LOL. Maybe they should have deployed Janeway during the Temporal Cold War.

Here you go!

@dratij replied to your post “What in the world is Daybreak(ers)? And why am I only seeing it now?...”

It's post-apocolypic netflix show where only kids survive that has lots of fun fourth wall breaking, pop culture references, and turning tropes on their head. On paper it didn't seem like a show I'd like, with some crude humor, but I laughed out loud so much. It's a great time, AND more importantly the characters are great, diverse, and has that found family element that hits you right in the chest. And sadly Netflix just canceled it.

Geez. that sounds right up my alley and I haven’t even heard about it until I saw a few things on instagram and the odd post or two. 

Netflix is just letting shows languish without even promoting it, how is a small show supposed to survive in an era of Peak TV if they won’t even mount promotional campaigns?

2. Name a ship that you love but have conflicted feelings over. 

You know, I do have one but try as I might to remember I can’t! Maybe... Katherine/Stefan from TVD? 

No, not exactly that. I know I could do better but I can’t. Oh, I remember one now: Natasha/Bruce. I loved them in Avengers 1 and then Avengers 2 happened, and while I still ship them I now wish with a thousand suns Joss never made them canon! 

6. Name a ship that most represents your type of ship.

I answered this here but let me add some more since I am a multishipper! 

Rizzoli/Isles

Sure they never happened canonically but in fandom land also, honestly if Brennan/Booth can be a thing I don’t get why Jane and Maura couldn’t have been one except for how none of the writers seem willing. 

(And, well, because one other factor). 

But I loved their dynamic and we’ll always have fanfic. 

Nine/Rose

My very very first Doctor Who ship. They will always hold a special place in my heart. 

Rose is the first reason why the Doctor can finally smile again after the horror of the Time War, and that will never not be nothing to me. 

Twelve/River

I love Doctor/River and I specifically love Twelve/River. I also ship River with Ten, and I did start out with Eleven/River but my shipping preference and taste landed exactly on Twelve/River and it’s precisely because of Husbands of River Song.

And that moment above. Because, finally after all the heartbreak and misunderstandings they arrive in this moment, and it’s everything! I love them so much and I really want the 24 years they had in Darillium.  

Twelve/Clara

They started out in such a difficult place and they really had to work at their relationship. And maybe it’s because they had to fight so hard to get to the place they reached in series 9 that I ended up loving their relationship so much. I also appreciate the way Moffat pulled back and left whatever Clara told Twelve to the audience’s imagination. 

It’s a kind of restraint I never expected from Moffat and it ended up such a lovely grace note. 

Dutch/Johnny (Killjoys)

Look. I know the show is all in with Dutch/D’avin and I know and respect and actually love that they have such a strong friendship and bond with Dutch and Johnny. 

But I am weak. And the show can’t have Dutch saying things like: Johnny is my gravity, and he’s closer to her heart and add in fake marriages, and then tease me with a reality altering marriage, which I know the show will break-up and I will cry tears. 

But they’re perfect to me. And I wish they would be friends to lovers and D’avin become lover to friend in the end but I’m not writing the show and anyway, I really do appreciate what Michelle Lovretta is doing. Still. I can’t help ship them, okay?!

The Doctor and their TARDIS

Sigh... well, it remains to be seen but Council of Geeks video in youtube pointed out that the trailer actually has a lot of similar beats to X3. Even without that I’m annoyed by elements I watched from the trailer:

(warning! spoilers below this line!)

--------------------------------------

- this new timeline where no one seems to be the age they’re supposed to be now. 

- magneto still playing out the same storyline since the first movie, ad nauseum. honestly give me back sir ian mckellan magneto. 

- xavier is shady but magneto, you actually murdered people, say your sorry and give a speech. also i see nothing wrong about temporarily hiding from jean that she caused her parents deaths. jean in this time line is not a 30 something with a medical degree woman, in this timeline jean is a teenager she’s not emotionally ready to know that! especially with powers like jean has! 

it’s something that has to be revealed carefully! 

- they have a great cast, just like they had a great cast in the first x-men movies and then squandered by x3. and i feel its about to happen here too and i’m so annoyed with that.

- honestly, this whole thing should have ended in days of future past and logan. 

the-perm-must-wait replied to your post “sigh. why why can't they ever get the the dark phoenix arc right?”

they don't want to put in the ground work they just want to cherry pick the cool parts and seemingly still don't understand how to tell story in a way that allows the audience to invest in the characters, their backstories and their relationships.

This is true! And it’s just annoying, and y’know, the thing is, back in X1 and X2 movies I thought they were laying out the groundwork! I thought they were building up to Jean Grey’s Dark Phoenix storyline... instead we got... X3.
