Talk:Star Trek: Voyager

Should The Rock be in the "non-actors" cameo list? Should we even have a separate non-actors cameo list?

Should The Rock be identified as an "actor" or "non-actor" for this article's purposes? Our article on him describes the beginnings of his acting career thus: In his first television acting job, in 1999, he played his own father in an episode of That '70s Show called "That Wrestling Show". Nearly a year later, he appeared in the Star Trek: Voyager episode "Tsunkatse" as an alien wrestler who fought popular character Seven of Nine. Obviously, he was known as a "professional wrestler", and not an "actor" at the time. Yes, professional wrestlers are actors in a sense, but it seems kind of weird to make claims like this in an off-handed manner in a list of cameos.

Honestly, I'm wondering what the relevance of splitting the list into actors and non-actors, when we only list two non-actors even is.

I agree that separating the list is kind of silly; by definition, someone who appears in a television or film role is an actor. I think the 'non-actor' list can be removed on that basis. 70.66.215.159 (talk) 06:51, 10 May 2018 (UTC)

'Plot element – Getting home' section

I am not sure that this actually needed. While some of the material may be useful, does a breakdown of episodes where Voyager's journey is shortened really need to be in the lead article about the series? Also there are no citations for this and so there could be an argument that this is (at least in part) original research. Dunarc (talk) 19:50, 9 March 2018 (UTC)

Warning: Major spoilers: The episodes where they found shortcuts could be used as sources. The article states, "These jumps decreased the time needed to return by ~40 years. Counting elapsed time, by the end of the seventh and final season, assuming one year elapsed per season, Voyager was 28-35 years' travel from Federation space." I don't think the figure of 28-35 years can be sourced. The last episode took place around 2377-78 and an alternate timeline they arrived on earth around 2393-94, which means they were 16 years away from home, not 28-35.

Critism of Star Trek Voyager

There was a paper on European Peace University in Stadtschlaining which is now defunct on its page which did some research on peace resolution in Voyager and compared it with other aspects during that time. It was written by Leigh Doyle and you can still find it in the web archive. No clue if you are interested in but i give you ppl the link here it is --Japan01 (talk) 23:17, 11 April 2018 (UTC)

Alternative Timelines

Episode “11:59” is not an Alternative Timeline Episode. Janeway and the crew are relaxing & sharing stories about their ancestors, and Janeway mentions Shannon O’Donnell, an astronaut and engineer during the period when humans started sending crewed missions to Mars, who was also instrumental in the building of The Millennium Gate, a self sustained biosphere that mimicked many of the conditions astronauts would have to deal with when living in enclosed habitats on Mars. Paris informs her that part of his extensive knowledge of history includes all the early Mars missions & no one named Shannon O’Donnell participated in the early crewed Mars missions. Janeway is upset, because she credits this ancestor with her desire to be in Starfleet. She begins research to see if what she believed about her ancestor was right or wrong. Interspersed throughout the episode, we see what really happened in O’Donnell’s life, with Kate Mulgrew playing Jameway’s ancestor. There is no time travel in this episode.

The Alternative Reality episodes of Voyager include “Year of Hell I & II, Future’s End I & II and Relativity. SiobhanElizabeth (talk) 05:39, 22 December 2018 (UTC)

You're right. The passage needs to be rewritten. SonOfThornhill (talk) 16:21, 22 December 2018 (UTC)

Races?

This article uses the word "races" while the series consistently said "species"...--82.37.67.151 (talk) 10:07, 15 September 2020 (UTC)

Sequence in sequel list

Star Trek Voyager is the third sequel of the franchise not the fourth.

The sequence is:

Star Trek (Original series) - not a sequel of anything.

Star Trek Next Generation - First sequel.

Star Trek Deep Space Nine - Second sequel.

Star Trek Voyager - third sequel.

There is no series between the original and Next Generation as one user has claimed (identified as 'TAS'?). The article Star Trek doesn't mention it and there is no article for it. 86.140.67.152 (talk) 15:02, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

The article is at Star Trek: The Animated Series. It does have a section at Star Trek. MrOllie (talk) 15:11, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

Not mentioned in the 'list of television series' in Star Trek. 86.140.67.152 (talk) 15:17, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
