Re: 11:59
I suppose I should elaborate: Dumb premise, clearly a ratings deal to tie into the new millenium, and in the end, it made no relevant contribution to the series. I'm fine with one-off oddball flashbacks, but I found this one so incredibly useless.
Don't you hear my call, though you're many years away, don't you hear me calling you?

Wow, if it's that bad then I can't wait 'till OVEG gets its claws into the episode.

Re: 11:59
The one redeeming feature (which Graham mentions in his write-up) was that it predicted (in 1999) that Y2k would do sod-all. An unprecedented case of Voyager sticking its neck out on something.
Only two things are infinite - the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the universe: Albert Einstein.

Re: 11:59
This is how i would've directed this episode:
-Someone plants a tricobalt warhead on Voyager.
-The Voyager crew gets a note that there is a tricobalt warhead somewhere on the ship that is set to go off at 11:59 PM
-They search for it, but can't find it.
-The B plot would be Harry is stuck in one of those hamster wheels and has to get out.
-Neelix finds it in the airlock.
-Unfortunately, te airlock can only be opened from inside the airlock itself (from some strange reason).
-Neelix spaces himself and the bomb saving Voyager.
-After a funeral, a Mirror Universe Captain Ransom kills Janeway, takes command, and secures everyones' loyalty and respect by providing them with hookers and booze.
-Voyager encounters another Cardassian Missile, disables it, and steals the quantum torpedoes, antimatter, and deuterium from it.

There is not a problem in this world that can't be solved without the proper application of a sufficient number of thermonuclear ordnance.

Re: 11:59
Are you just talking about writing a completely different ep with the same title?

Same episode, different plot. Sorry, I should've been more clear about that.Mikey wrote:Are you just talking about writing a completely different ep with the same title?

Re: 11:59
Pretty much better all around than the drek that was served up in the other ep. I would have preferred Mirror Harry complete with goatee. Then again, chances are Mirror Harry got himself killed in one way or another.JudgeKing wrote:This is how i would've directed this episode:

Re: 11:59
On the contrary - he'd probably have been the most colourful character on Voyger, and the only one to survive the epsode. This is the mirror universe, after all.katefan wrote:Pretty much better all around than the drek that was served up in the other ep. I would have preferred Mirror Harry complete with goatee.

Re: 11:59
Speaking of Harry Kim, in this episode, we learn that in "about" 2210, Harry's "uncle" Jack piloted a sleeper ship on a deep-space exploration trip to Beta Capricus. The rest of the crew went into stasis while Jack spent the six months piloting the ship himself alone. Upon arrival, the "star" was found not to exist and to be only an electromagnetic echo of a distant galaxy. Jack chose not to wake the rest of the crew before returning, after a further 6 month journey, back to Earth. When they awoke in Earth orbit they initally questioned why they had never left.
Of intersting note Kim had 7 failed reationship/crushes while on Voyager, if you count Libby. The boy has no luck with women.
This reminds me of another question I had, whatever happened to the Original Kim's body?

Neelix made a stew out of the meat, and used the bones for soup.

Doubt it - if Neelix made it, it would have infected the ship or something.GrahamKennedy wrote:Neelix made a stew out of the meat, and used the bones for soup.
