/strek/ - Star Trek ★

Boothby was a dumbass. Picard talked him up like some genius but then he was just a twat who wanted to talk about flower beds and shit.

Picard just transferred his fraternal feelings for his brother Robert onto another guy who worked with plants and was often adversarial. Picard didn’t want to admit Robert was the one who taught him a lot about life, because they were competitive.

Janeway’s crazy. She probably thought he was an admiral or something.

>>15213

>Janeway’s crazy.

I watched VOY during it's original airing. And looking back at it. That explanation of the character being legit crazy is increasingly pointing to be the most plausible one.

>>15216

To be fair to her, if I'd ended up responsible for a somewhat messy, inexperienced, ragtag crew whist stranded in a completely unknown quarter of the universe… I'd probably need a personal day too.

>>15217

A 24th century federation starship is a luxury liner. They are post-scarcity, have entertainment beyond the best we have, and can fabricate virtually anything. And beyond that you have a holographic doctor monitoring your mental state.

Janeway caused most of her problems and she was erratic as fuck. It’s like the writers all had a different idea what the character would do and Kate Mulgrew didn’t give two shits beyond her getting the most lines and attention, so she was totally inconsistent and thus the best portrayal of a woman in authority ever done.

>A 24th century federation starship is a luxury liner

I wouldn't necessarily use that as an argument for being sane when your crew is in danger every other episode. Sure I could live on a yacht for the rest of my life, but I wouldn't stay sane if my entire crew was inexperienced and I was to busy to even enjoy any of the "luxery" the ship had to offer. There's also the fact that you will never meet new people outside of your crew. Which definitely wares down morale after a while.There's definitely a lot of less obvious problems at work here than you're really giving credit to.

>>15204

Dammit. You made me spill the spaghetti I was eating

>>15249

That's why she had a known terrorist take over command once in awhile so she could fuck around on the holodeck and finger bang Seven of Nine.

>>15272

Janeway spent most of her holodeck time using the Da Vinci program to help develop more instruments of torture for the Voyager brig dungeon.

>>15272

>>15275

You guys really make this series sound more interesting than it probably is. I've only seen a seasons worth off and on. Should I power through the first few seasons so I can get to the later seasons?

>>15298

Watching Voyager is like shoving a pineapple up your ass. You should take it slow because it's only going to get worse.

>>15298

Voyager is only crap compared to the rest of trek. Compared to most science fiction television, it's still pretty damn good. Everyone here is just spoiled by DS9 and TNG.

>>15340

Most science fiction television is fucking unwatchable in how terrible it is though.

>>15343

You'd think they'd be so cheesy they end up being good but they are not.

>>15204

This is why I come to /strek/

>>15204

>>15213

Goddamnit anons you are onto something here.

>Boothy apparently talked to Janeway and Picard

>Never seemed to discuss anything with Sisko

Did he hate niggers?

>>15213

>Janeway’s crazy. She probably thought he was an admiral or something.

Boothby is an anon at heart. He is redpilled on the Federation but doesn't give a shit, he only cares about his plants.

>>15249

How could anyone stay sane with Neelix fucking up your time honored family recipes and being an irritating cunt all the time?

>>17931

They should have cooked Neelix instead.

>>17931

>>17959

I never got the Neelix hate. He's not my favorite character, but I don't despise him like so many do.

>>18022

I'm in the same boat honestly. Kes and her annoying voice ground my gears far more than Neelix's antics.

>>15202

Janeway lost her virginity to Boothby.

>>18022

He should've stayed on Full House where he belonged. Except for that one episode. You know the one. That was alright.

>>18067

So did he plant his seed inside her?

>>18219

Of course. It was Q's will.

>>15201

This analysis is blowing my fucking mind.

What if boothby was species 8472 all of the time? Even back on Earth?

>>17959

>They should have cooked Neelix instead.

So he can ruin yet another meal? Just space the trash.

>>19732

>What if boothby was species 8472 all of the time? Even back on Earth?

That would actually make some sense.

>Be part of xenophobic species that exist in a realm that you control

>Have passion for things that grow in a realm where not much else grows

>After being bored forever find a gateway to another part of the universe

>Assume the identity as a gardener and get to experience the simple pleasures of watching your garden flourish

>Unfortunately other life forms take an interest in you and find you as some wise figure when in reality all you want to do is watch your plants grow

>Worse, the next generation of these little shits are sitting on your lillies

>Get so fed up you fuck off back to Fludic Space and demand that your species goes on a crusade to purge those shitstains that sat on your shrubberies from the galaxy

>>15216

People say this a lot.

I need some examples. When was she crazy?

>>19962

It's less that she was crazy and more that the writers constantly took her in polar opposite directions from one episode to the next, making her look erratic and mentally unstable.

>>19962

>>19965

The actress herself thought she was playing a character who was completely bipolar and had some mental health issues.

>>20065

I don't disbelieve you, but I'd like to see that in her own words.

>>20078

I just looked up Kate Mulgrew

I vomited.

I will say this about the lady captain. I got super creeped out when she was looking at pictures from her old husband or boyfriend or whqatever.

>>20065

You need to back up that statement. I usually never say "citation please" because reddit uses it as a censorship tactic but I think you do in this case.

>>20195

Did you get Yandere vibes from it?

>>20207

Almost yeah. Something close.

>>15200 (OP)

This isn't the real Boothby, pic you posted is an alien shit.

>>18067

Everyone at Starfleet Academy lost their virginity to Boothby. Everyone.

>>20776

Even the plants?

>>20781

>Even the plants?

Technically, it's possible.

>Everyone Kirk too.

no
