/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable, neither is supporting people who actively want to kill those groups. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon' and fuck over our artist friends.
Fun will now commence.

At its core, the Gilligan's Island model relies on the lagoon as its main source of conflict -- something floats in, the castaways have to deal with it. The lagoon remains constant, the things in it change. Most ship-based Star Treks are anti-Gilligans Island shows in so far as they are what's floating into someone else's lagoon. They remain constant, the lagoon changes.
If anything, I would say DS9 is the better Gilligan's Island analogue, with the wormhole acting as the lagoon.
Gilligan's Island and Voyager share the same overarching goal, though: Getting home.
Fuckin and?? Voyager moves, to get home they must not leave voyager but voyager leave the lagoon. The fact they both want to get home does not make it the same model
In no way did I ever state that it was the same model. They share the same goal.
In Voyager, the ship is the lagoon. It's probably got the same square footage as the island. Just look at Voyager as static and the rest of the galaxy is moving past it, washing up shenanigans every week.

Instead of looking at it as it actually is? The lagoon is the delta qdt and to get home voyager as a whole must leave it, not to get home they must leave voyager.
The person you are replying to got it right, you’re trying to force voy into the gilligan’s model
Wipe away your tears, chill out, we're just having fun playing around, this isn't a serious discussion. Go rain on someone else's parade.
The colored LCARS labels on the bulkheads of the Voyager sets all have text printed on them that can't be read on TV. Garret Wang pointed out on a behind-the-scenes special for Star Trek Voyager that one of them literally says, "Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale, a tale of a fateful trip, that started from this tropic port aboard this tiny ship."
Another one says, "Wherever you go, there you are." - Also relevant to the show's premise. :)
That's amazing!
Tuvok in a bucket hat. You've pictured it, and now you can't unpicture it.
He's out of line, but he's right
And Neelix is Gilligan
Wouldn't Chakotay be Gilligan since it was basically his fault they got trapped in the Delta Quadrant?
Also, he worshiped a stupid imaginary indigenous American deity that wasn't actually part of anyone's real belief system. That's not relevant, but I like to bring up Jackie Marks when I have the opportunity.
Whatever. The Skipper never murdered a crewmember or tried to destroy an entire astronomical phenomenon for coffee.
Well, not on screen at least.
If the Skipper was willing to do what Janeway did to Tuvix, Gilligan would have been floating in the lagoon face-down by the end of the pilot episode.
Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale
a tale of a fateful trip,
that started from this deep space port,
aboard this tiny ship.
The mate was a quiet native' man,
the Skipper brave and sure,
150 star fleet personnel set sail that day,
for a three hour tour,
a three hour tour.
The displacements started getting rough,
The tiny ship was tossed,
If not for the courage of the fearless crew
USS Voyager would be lost, USS Voyager would be lost.
The ship set still on the shore of the uncharted delta quadrant
With Chakotay
Captain Janeway too,
Tom Paris and his wife,
A Borg Woman
The Doctor and some Ensign
Here on USS Voyager!!!!
and some Ensign
Just the equivalent of the early season's "...and the rest" before it became "the professor and Mary Ann"
No, this week I'm pretty sure they will actually make it home. How could it go wrong?
