YaTEdiGo: The series is a total plot crap, never spoiled by a black vulvan, but yes, spoiled by so many stupid things. Ancient tribes had religions, Chakotay has a religion, saying that indian american believes are just spirituality is pretty romantic, and definitively influenced by the religions that conside themselves "serious" vs "minor religions",
Breja: I'm not talking about indian american beliefs, I'm talking about Chakotay and his beliefs. You should watch the episode Barge of the Dead to understand maybe. He says "My grandfather used to think he could transform himself into a wolf so that he could venture out to explore the spirit realm. It was real to him, as real as what your experience was to you, but that doesn't mean he grew hair all over his body and walked around on all fours." He believes in the meaningfull nature of symbols, even the importance of experiencing a vision but that does not mean he believes in the supernatural, worships some diety, or follows any religious dogma.
As for the rest, I simply don't agree with you, and there is little to discuss, as all you keep saying is calling it crap, and repeating how much you hate the characters. Not much to say other than I think you are wrong. Whatever. Your loss. seasons 4-5 are full of great episodes- Scorpion, Raven, Mortal Coil, Prey, Living Witness, Drone, TImeless, Infinite Regress, Nothing Human, Latent Image, Course: Oblivion, just to name some of the very best, and season 6 starts very strong with Equinox and Barge of the Dead. All great sci fi, great tv. Was the entire series like that, every episode? No. Of course not. But it's still a good show overall.
You disagree, you hate it... fine. That's fine too. It wan't diminish the fun I'm having watching it, so too each his own.
Sure, the pope will also tell you about many allegories that he consider are "fantasies" to explain the great truth of God, and he is still a believer. That episode with Chakotay making rituals is plain ridiculous.
Yeah but do not pretend to explain me "see this episode or this other one" because I seen the whole crap from the beginning to the end, because I am a Trekkie, and not because I am a Trekkie I need to like all the franchise, (I believe STARTREK V is one of the worst movies ever made) . The best example for the awfulness of VOYAGER is ENTERPRISE failure, as contrary as many said, the show didn´t failed by itself, it was actually VOYAGER the main reason the franchise was almost doomed, as some critics point, the moment ENTERPRISE came out was a new nice reboot of the series, but the bad mouth taste of VOYAGER was a very loooooong shadow in the franchise that affected ENTERPRISE initial boost, plus also of course the difficulty of being something new, just the pitiful episode for closing the series with TNG guys was much better than the whole 7 seasons of Voyager. And I totally agree with this impressions.
Mr. D™: There has been some skepticism around Star Citizen lately, but I hope it will turn out well for Roberts, he had to endure a lot of shit and also chose a stony path in parts of his life.
I really wish the best for him and his project and the teams working on it. But I`m really not sure if it will be the big shot in scifi games everyone is hoping for. Time will show us.
I agree with all this point by point.
Breja: Well, we had to endure the Wing Commander movie he made, so it all evens out ;)
Matewis: Sometimes I feel like I'm the only person who enjoyed that film :P
I didnt see it :(
