I've been wanting to do a Cartoon "villains of Voyager" for a while now, so here it is! Enjoy! Mwahaha!

And here's a desktop wallpaper version:

Obviously not an exhaustive list 😆, but those are among the most memorable ones for me!

I thought it might be fun on shirts too, so you can now also find it on my teepublic page: http://tee.pub/lic/amal000

When Danara Pel exclaims, "What kind of friend would ask me to go on living like this?" her body swallows painfully.

As Danara's mind is holographically projected outside of her body, her body subtly reacts to what her mind experiences as a hologram, like a sleeping person having a dream.

That swallow is a reminder that the decaying body on the bed is the one talking to the Doctor right now.

Sadly, I can't find a good clip on YouTube where you can clearly see this detail. The only clip of this scene I could find was too blurry. But if you watch this episode in high-def on Paramount Plus, you can see it. (It's near the end of the episode, when Danara tells the Doctor that she doesn't want to go back to her body.)

Now look and this and tell me that he didn’t get his inspiration for TCW characters from VOY…

The Vidiian’s symbols from VOY “Faces” are VERY similar to Ahsoka’s facial markings and the Fulcrum symbol.

While there’s a little less evidence for the Hunter/Chakotay comparison, I still feel like this is very derivative. Chakotay’s Indigenous tattoos in VOY “Living Witness” may have inspired Filoni to give Hunter a similar half-faced tattoo, especially because the Māori have cultural facial tattoos as well. Their color schemes being red also seems like an interesting parallel.
