Voyager uses recycled TNG material. They even wanted Worf in Voyager

>>1140

Voyager was the cesspool of all rejected ideas and plots that Rick Berman wanted to shove out. It didn't help they had to bring in different writers and producers constantly with different ideas with a few that were trying to sort shit out quitting. As a result it was just a complete mess of badly thought out stories that never really went anywhere or worked as intended. It also had zero continuality with characters or plots that even Kate Mulgrew thought that her character must have been bi-polar due to how inconsistent Janeway was.

>unless Janeway died

Don't tease.

>>1178

I was repulsed by "Admiral Janeway" in Star Trek Nemesis. Especially because if they were going to do some tie-in shit like that, they should have taken two minutes and said something like "I'm meeting with the Emissary of the Prophets in two weeks to discuss Bajor's request for a new starbase." I mean, who the fuck deliberately ends a series with a major protagonist lost in limbo?

>>1189

DS9 was meant to have 8 seasons instead of 7.

>>1159

>why would he have wanted

Think of all the things you've seen Michael Dorn in since Star Treks have gone off the air. He does vidya and cartoon voice work, and I guess he pops up in some different shows now and again, but I'm thinking he wants a steady paycheck.

because jews.

The people in charge of Voyager - being dull, creatively-defunct hacks - wanted to recycle characters from TNG but if they did so literally, they would have had to pay the original writer/creators of those characters for every appearance on Voyager. So, they just changed the name.

It's kind of worse, it's the fact the guys behind Voyager weren't able to do the scripts they wanted on TNG cause people thought they were trash so when Gene died they attempted to do them via Voyager.

>>1339

I imagine it has something to do with the fact that they already have head castings (to craft prosthetics) so it takes less time and money to get the same guys to come in and play different roles. I remember Nog played a Kazon once in Voyager.

>>1125

What's his name in the first two pics was supposed to play the same character as in TNG, but they sperged out and decided that character's crimes were too severe and didn't deserve a second chance.

>>1189

>"I'm meeting with the Emissary of the Prophets in two weeks to discuss Bajor's request for a new starbase."

He abandoned his family to go live with the space people though.

Dukat was a recast, the original actor was fired because he wasn't working out.

>>1125

I could give you a mundane answer based on the realities of production like everyone else. I prefer a fantastical explanation based on canon and science. My theory revolves around Janeway's use of Borg trans-warp conduits to go back in time and basically undo everything. Some scientists believe the future can have an effect on the past. This gives us a convenient cop-out for anything that doesn't make sense.

>>3036

Shran was the best thing about ST Enterprise

>>1125

Section 31 is behind this. A cloning facility, right under the Federation's noses!

>>1125

Paris was supposed to be Locarno but they didn't want to pay the writer of that TNG episode every Voyager episode.

Same with Major Kira being Ro Laren. Except in that situation they also changed the actress.

>>3024

Details, please.

>>3194

There aren't many details known, when this type of thing happens it's common practice to keep it quiet to not hurt the reputations of the people involved.

Though when it happened with Janeway it was too high profile to ignore. One thing people generally don't know about Janeway though is that the characters scenes in Caretaker were filmed 3 times, once with Bujold and twice with Mulgrew. They did Mulgrew again because in the first round her original hairstyle didn't work out.

>>3195

Porthos is going to ride Klingons into battle?

>>3200

He will be a GLORIOUS boy!

>>3221

>We will never get the tale of how Admiral Porthos turned from being head of Starfleet Intelligence to being Chancellor of the Klingon Empire

>>3221

Porthos should represent us next week.
