True. Another time, perhaps.

Alright. Here's my Daystrom Institute post on it.

Basically. I have to say, he was mostly a good uncle figure for the rest of the series. If I went beyond a casual analysis and started giving each character a number every episode, I might find counterexamples.

Also, I don't count Resolutions as a spike since to me, that mostly felt natural, though it's been a hot minute since I last watched it.

The first Paris spike is Year of Hell, or that time he dated Kes... oh crap, I need to go fix Harry real quick for dating Tom's daughter.

Anyhow, the second Paris spike is that time he got romantically involved with a starship.

The Chakotay spike is mostly my bitterness about the pairing with Seven.

I in general just kind of found the entire Seven-Chakotay romance really weird.

In my opinion, Seven wasn't necessarily emotionally mature enough for a romantic relationship. I don't mean to call Seven a child, but because she'd been part of the Borg since she was a kid, it meant Seven never learned some important social abilities. It's not necessarily my place to judge, but I feel like Seven was nudged towards romantic relationships at a point in her life when she wasn't necessarily ready.

Of course, this is really complicated, bordering on a c/DaystromInstitute question. You know, rather than boring you with the details, I'll actually just go create that post real quick, assuming a suitable one doesn't exist.

Also, I'm a just a bit bitter the whole Chakotay-Janeway thing never worked out. I get there was professionalism stuff, but dating your astrometrics officer is probably weirder. I usually don't particularly root for couples in shows, but there was legitimate chemistry between Janeway and Chakotay, especially in VOY:Resolutions.

Yeh, but I only bumped him to score 10/100, so I didn't consider it that huge a bump since it's biologically necessary.

Gargoyles (where Frakes and Sirtis are the main villains) even cracks a joke, "You and what Starfleet!"

I heard Takei and Frakes were on Adventure Time. After a Google, in addition, it seems so was Sirtis, Burton, and a bunch of Lower Decks actors.

Kate Mulgrew is great in Infinity Train.

I think one of my favorites, though, is the completely unrelated freebee for your cellphone randomly dropped for Kevin by Takei at the end of an episode of Community.

On one hand, (insert AGIMUS laughing noises).

On the other hand, Harry already had a rank where the doctor didn't.

Synonyms...

Though DS9 breaks the vegetarianism part... and the always right part.

I've never watched Stargate, except for the first film and a few random SG-1 episodes. I knew Sirtis was in it at some point, but not Picardo.

“You know, @hopesdead, has anyone told you you’re a real freakasaurus?”

In all seriousness, I always love a Star Trek episode/film involving a crew’s misadventures in the past (except the whole ENT space Nazi thing, which I have neither watched nor particularly want to watch).
