And that, "Rrrriker!" line getting on the saddle was ad-libbed right in front of him.

she sees how stranded she is and it’s posed to her as inappropriate to partner with someone under her command.

Which is a damn shame given all the looks she and Chakotay shared. And that time they thought they were going to be stuck alone together forever.

But I like having a reason to pretend sexist Pike didn't happen.

Interestingly, this scene technically isn't part of continuity because "The Cage" as a whole technically isn't part of continuity, only the parts that made it into later episodes, like "The Menagerie," are. Remember, "The Cage" was a rejected pilot that only got released later on as a bonus, like a collection of deleted scenes. "Where No Man Has Gone Before" was the show's accepted pilot.

Voyager had phasers on the pylons. The Enterprise-D actually got phasers added to the nacelles, of all thing, in a later season. I don't think either ship was actually seen firing them, though.

The third season has some issues if you look at the plot too closely, but the simple fun factor is high enough that I don't care.

I always headcanoned that Rom was very quickly fired after DS9…

As Grand Nagus, I don't think there's anyone higher up to fire him. The position is a weird cross of king, CEO, and Pope. Only death or resignation seems to be able to oust a Grand Nagus.

Yep. Turns out it's cheaper to make cyborg costumes than giant insect puppets.

It doesn't come up very often. Their telepathy is very weak and they usually can't do much without physical contact.

There is only one tiny way this could be better - in the original intro, the nebula parts just ahead of Voyager's prow thanks to the navigational deflector. Replicate that one little bit and it will be perfect.

I am totally convinced that the cast can do a musical episode. The script is going to be the difficult part, but if it's fun enough then I don't care.

The backlash is usually first for Trek, then when a new show comes out the last one is suddenly an underappreciated gem. Not sure what that means for SNW.
