Lori Petty as a Voyager guest star was amazing to see. I love this quirky amazing actor who’s in some of my favs Tank Girl, A League of Their Own, and Station 11. #startrekvoyager just keeps on giving. #startrek #voyager

It’s also 100% accurate based on all the pilots I’ve ever met.

There’s this idea that they’re all like Iceman when in fact they’re actually Marty McFly if he grew up to be a grease monkey.

Tom Paris is a nerd who thinks he's a jock and that owns.

Tom Paris being "an expert on the 20th century" and then, when presented with a chance to show off this expertise when the ship gets stuck in 1996, being even more conspicuous than the rest of the crew by trying out wildly out of date slang and historical references is 100% the best

Also thank you Trek for giving us an episode where everybody wants to punch actual Nazis so we have some Sesame Street-level receipts for the Trek fandom idiot MAGAs that Trek has always indeed been “woke” and “antifa”

I've clowned on Voyager's Rogue's Gallery because it has some duds. Kazon, the Malon, the Heirarchy...

BUT.

I like the Hirogen. I know they're just Predators from the hit film Predator but I think they still do cool stuff with it. The Killing Game's so fucking fun.

Tom Paris says, “Yes, Ma’am!” with such adorable enthusiasm to all the ladies he loves and respects. I love it 💕💕💕 #startrekvoyager #startrek #voyager

Trek predicting the future in ways that I hate again.

When I say Tom is the anti-incel propaganda, I meant it. He starts out problematic AF & makes several wrong turns but winds up a faithful, loving, supportive, emotionally intelligent wife guy & honestly I wish the incels would idolise him more

Leaf~ @leaftilde.bsky.social · 24d

He also gets into a toxic relationship with a sentient starship AI and wow relatable.

there is something VERY wrong with him and I appreciate that about Tom that the only time he ever raises his voice at her, it’s it’s either not him or b/c someone messed with his brain. As sum1 who has trauma from being around volatile men. I appreciate Tom’s lack of emotional volatility w/B’Elanna

‘Alice’ is a weird one for me, I guess it was based on Stephen King’s ‘Christine’ allegedly but they sorta forgot they already did that lesson with Tom in ‘Vis a Vis’. I do love B’Elanna’s convo w/Janeway, not for how dismissive Janeway is, but for how B’Elanna learned that Tom yelling at her = …

America is being run by people whose social media presence would see them getting fired from a part time job stacking shelves.

As a “not normal kid” who was bullied the way B’Elanna was & whose story basically felt like someone was writing my childhood experience and the better future I hoped for, I will always love the Trek writers who made us misfits feel seen ❤️

Friendly reminder that you’re in complete control of your fandom experience. Although every community has its bad actors you are 100% in control of when you walk away from them and how much you let it bother you.

You’re always in control. Regardless of what the creator likes/dislikes, you can still

What happened to Tom Paris after ‘Muse’?

He went from being nonchalant and ignoring B’Elanna in S5 to being anxiety-ridden to the point of almost possessiveness by ‘Unimatrix Zero’.

Did nearly losing her in ‘Muse’ give him a kick up the arse & make him realise how much he loved her?

It sounds great! I want to go out for drinks with my friend who doesn’t drink, it’s great to finally have somewhere that opens late that doesn’t just serve coffee and fruit juices.

There's an alcohol free bar opening here in Aberdeen next week and the amount of folk in the comments section of local media pieces about it on FB who are slagging it off or making fun of it is quite something. If it's not your thing then just don't go? It's not difficult.

We should draw hard lines around child labor, and this includes underage musicians, actors, and sending kids off to sell candy bars for fundraising. They’re just way too vulnerable to abuse and exploitation and kids should be kids, period.

I’m so tired of being told to trust men when I don’t think I’ve ever met a man I could fully trust or like a lot once I got to know them.

Even the “best” ones are just doing the bare minimum that’s expected of women.

This isn’t about chaos. It’s about clarity.
We’re done being ruled by greed, ego, and empty crowns.

It’s not about tearing down. It’s about building together.
Community over control. Compassion over conquest.

No Kings. No Masters.
Just people doing the work of liberation, equity, & care.

The image shows a rough black crown painted over a red “X” on a textured yellow background. The design has a bold, graffiti-like style with visible brushstrokes.

The image shows the word “NOPE” in bold, distressed white letters on a black background, with the “E” stylized in red to resemble a jagged, angular crown shape.
