Can I just say that I, having favored Voyager over the other series personally, love that this community doesn't constantly shit on it like many other Trek communities I've been in. Finally seeing some great voyager memes. It's like a dream come true.
Who are the haters, and what do they prefer? I mean, if you try to just filter shows based on obvious racism/sexism/homophobia, you already end up most shows apart from Voyager, so...
I just finished watching it for the first time and I loved it so much. This was indeed, an absolute ripper of an episode.
This is exactly how I watched the episode
"Wait... is that the rock?! OMG"
" is that... It's Jeffrey Fucking Combs!"
