Wife's thoughts on Voyager last night:
Is Captain Janeway supposed to be lady Captain Kirk? Cause she's a little over the top.
Are she & Chakotay gonna be a thing?
Neelix lied about being an expert so he can get on the ship didn't he?
There's a BUNCH of technobabble in this.

Continuing our Voyager watch. Episode 3 and the wife already seems to be enjoying herself more. She thinks it's cute. Am I disappointed she didnt like DS9? Sure. But plenty of Star Trek to go around.
The wife's thoughts on Voyager:
"This is kinda slow."
"Oh hey, I know that face! We saw him before!" (Tom Paris isn't Nick Locarno conversation ensues.)
"They can make starships but not water? Weird."
"What the FUCK is Neelix wearing?"
"They wrote him as Nick."
"I like this. This looks cute."
