Dude, how much do I love Voyager? Yeah, I know I'm just being nostalgic but it's so much fun watching all this again.

Janeway and Chakotay argue over B'Elanna *g* Of course B'Elanna gets the job because she just kicks as but anyway. Was much amused by Paris playing Legolas and stating the obvious.

Janeway and Chakotay are already behaving like a good captain and their first commander. But you can bet your ass she wasn't going to take orders from him if the shoe was on the other foot.

First Kes/Doctor interaction and it reminded me of how sweet Kes always was.

Wow, what is up her ass? Seriously, if you see this (it only last a bit over 10 minutes though) you will be very grateful they picked Kate Mulgrew. Rick Berman was being very kind when he said that Bujold would have been fabulous if it were a movie instead of a series. Maybe it's because I am so used to Kate Mulgrew but I doubt it.

I remember when I first watched Voyager I disliked Janeway, she was stiff and was just plain annoying. I grew to like her but now that I have seen this together with the interview from the cast (also 10 minutes) I understand it better. She was literally thrown into the show with only two days to prepare so she based most of it on Picard. And she probably took over some of the stiffness of Bujold.

I hate to say this but Bujold's acting was just boring and very much non existant. There were no emotions in it whatsoever, not even the scene where she talks to Tuvok about Harry's mom. She probably could have made a good Vulcan though. It's interesting to have just watched Caretaker and then see Bujold play those same scenes.

Yeah, I'm very much relieved.

I found two easter eggs on the extra DVD. All very short but nice. One was an explaination on how they had to redo a lot of scenes with Janeway because the studio didn't like her hairstyle and thus the bun was born. The other was a short reaction from Kate Mulgrew.

The cast reflections (the 10 minutes thing) was fun, it's really short but cute. Robert Beltran and Roxann Dawson explained how amazing it was that they actually got fanmail *before* they even started shooting the series. Quark talked a bit about being honoured to pass the torch on from DS9 to Voyager.
