Talk:Star Trek: Voyager

Seska

Should there be a bit on Seska in the overview. She was a pivital character in the first season, and could even be recognized as a regular. Was the actress' name in the opening credits? 208.203.4.140 (talk) 23:15, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

This could be 100% wrong, but Seska seemed like a character who went through three "plans" of how to develop her character. She seemed roughly on the status of Wildman (senior) at first. Then it looked as though she'd been "killed off". Then finally, it seemed that someone had decided she'd done an exceptional job as a villain, and brought her back a couple times. To me, she's the most chilling villain who appeared on any Star Trek. I can barely stand to watch her. THAT'S acting.

So there might be quite a lot that could be unearthed about her, who knows? I'll help with Seska, but I don't have any special references / resources.

She and Wildman Jr. merit their own pages, if brief.

Seven's Status

Seven's status needs to be changed. She does not die in the series (only mentioned that she would have died if the crew did not get home in endgame).--88wolfmaster (talk) 20:46, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

Looking for help writing an article about the spin-offs and crossovers of this series

I am writing an article about all of the series which are in the same shared reality as this one through spin-offs and crossovers. I could use a little help expanding the article since it is currently extremely dense and a bit jumbled with some sentence structures being extremely repetitive. I would like to be able to put this article into article space soon. Any and all help in writing the article would be appreciated, even a comment or two on the talk page would help. Please give it a read through, also please do not comment here since I do not have all of the series on my watch list. - LA @ 17:41, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Critical reception

This article could do with a new section on the series's critical reception. —Psychonaut (talk) 20:10, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Serious contradiction

This article has some "dos" and "undos" about the contradictionary fact, that 75,000 lightyears can be reached in 3.5 years with Warp 9.9 (despite 75 years). This calculation is based on crew member statements during episodes and a very interesting contradiction, because it aims at the fundament of the whole storyline. I think this should find it's way into the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.127.141.54 (talk) 19:55, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

In the Trek universe, ships cannot sustain Warp 9.9 due to stress on the ship, energy required etc. Check out Star Trek Next Generation Technical Manual (which is essentially the 'Bible' for Trek scripts & shows). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.41.87.242 (talk) 06:00, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

I don't have a copy of episode 1 or 2 handy, but if I recall correctly it is explained in one of these that Voyager is a new class of starship with new technology (part of which is the gel packs and postdates tech in the Next Generation) and is capable of sustained warp 8 without damaging subspace. Warp 8 is approximately 1000*C which results in a 75 year journey.

Is it possible Paris just states Voyager can do warp 9.9 as against sustained warp 9.9. At [1] it states that Intrpid class can sustain warp 9.975, so there is still a contradiction either in the warp speed formula or explanation of why only warp 8 can be sustained long term.

Furthermore, [2] in reference to the variable geometry warp nacelle pylons on Voyager states that "The goal of the these pylons is to improve engine efficiency by optimizing field stress when the ship travels extended journeys at warp 8+ velocity." and "According to the unpublished VOY Season 1 edition of the Star Trek: Voyager Technical Guide, by Rick Sternbach and Michael Okuda, it was suggested that because of the variable-geometry pylons, warp fields may no longer have a negative impact on habitable worlds as established in TNG: Force of Nature."--60.234.208.121 (talk) 12:24, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

You cannot cite a source which is not published... There is no verifiable record of a voyager technical manual ever being planned other than at the wiki located at www.memory-alpha.org. The existence or state of this work is unkown, and attempting to use anything from its potential contents is mere speculation. Additionally the entire section in dispute appears to have been copied word for word from This section was lifted almost word for word from http://www.memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Variable-geometry_pylon. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sao123 (talk • contribs) 20:50, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

David Ogden Stiers

Unless I am mistaken, didn't he appear as a guest in one of the episodes in Voyager? (Apologies, I cannot remember the exact episode. He was Charles E. Winchester III in M*A*S*H if that helps) Erikster (talk) 04:47, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
