“On Earth, there is no poverty, no crime, no war. You look out the window of Starfleet Headquarters and you see paradise. Well, it’s easy to be a saint in paradise, but the Maquis do not live in paradise. Out there in the Demilitarized Zone, all the problems haven’t been solved yet. Out there, there are no saints — just people. Angry, scared, determined people who are going to do whatever it takes to survive, whether it meets with Federation approval or not!”
Some of the best TV ever.
Ah, that is so apt. Thank you for teaching me.
Is that referring to the ship magically being patched up again every episode?
I always assumed that by the time of Voyager, replicator technology was advanced enough that they could perform any repairs necessary as long as they had enough power.
That said, I think Voyager would have been a better show if the whole show was done the way Enterprise handled the Delphic Expanse arc. Voyager getting more and more damaged as time passes would have really hit the “far from home” vibe.
I presumed this explained why Voyager was always on replicator rations and grew their own food— because every last iota of power went to replicating the huge amounts of replacement parts they needed due to all the damage they constantly took each episode.
That was the intent, yes
It could also be a Tuvix reference, seeing how the hand is patched together
I was gonna say Pugsley.
TOS is straight up Gomez.
What does this make Discovery then, where the universe is ending in a different way every season?
Not really though. SNW goes hard as fuck with the horror episodes, 0 to 100 real quick.
