Talk:These Are the Voyages...

message: I've noted several articles referencing the events of TATV say it takes place in 2160. However the episode explicitly takes place 10 years after the 2151 launch of the NX-01, and at the signing of the Federation charter which was previously established as occurring in 2161. Is there some official source out there that is contradicting the date, or are people just getting it incorrect? 23skidoo 20:25, 15 May 2005 (UTC)

message: This was discussed on the Star Trek Wiki, and I am borrowing what wrote there.  It's interesting to note that the whole scene was taken out of context...
The entire thing is a reconstruction of Menage a Troi.  You can see someone who might be assumed as Picard, a person who should have been in paler in color as Commander Data, and supposely Raitten.  You can see a Ferengi sitting down playing, at least from what I can see from my TiVo recording, chess...  The person who is sitting down is wearing a red shirt, who should have been Commander Riker.  Behind the red shirt, you can see the science officer with the ponytail, like in Menage a Troi, and a supposely half-bald man who looks like a Ferengi but isn't.  The man in the grey blocks our view of confirming a grey shirt which should have been Wesley standing next to the person sitting down in the red shirt.  Further more, the person we assume as Raitten obstructs our view of the red shirt and what we assume behind him is Wesley.
But we pass by Commander Riker sitting with Counselor Troi, which is very odd... and we can see Riker in the right hand corner of the screen as a Zakdorn walks by in the scene (as we do in the first minute or so in Menage a Troi)  We do see the first Ferengi at the bar, and as I mentioned before, the second one sitting down presumely playing chess.  (There were two Ferengi in Menage a Troi in 10-Forward.)
But the most interesting about this scene is that is completely out of context with the Pegasus episode.  In the Pegasus episode, they were investigating a Quasar or something...  Menage a Troi was season 3, and Pegasus was 4 years later.  If the Enterprise is supposely investigating a quasar shortly before receiving Admiral Preston, why are there Ferengi on board?
From the replication of the pink drink on the left, and the yellow drink on the right... to the Bartender...  just a small inserting of Commander Riker with Counselor Troi.
The tray was apparently red in Enterprise, but what looks like to be orange in Menage a Troi;  Riker's stardate was different from Picard's in Menage a Troi, as well.  You can see the flowers in both episodes.  Counselor Troi is seated in the right place, but Commander Riker replaces Troi's mother in this apparent replication of the scene of Menage a Troi.  Furthermore, Troi is wearing a standard Science's uniform in this episode, while in the Menage a Troi, she was wearing that offset Blue counselor's uniform.  Anyway... that's what I saw. -- AllyUnion (talk) 07:30, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Borrowed a scene from Menage a Troi... 

message: I don't have any problem with him dying to save Archer's life... it was just *exceedingly* poorly written how they got to there... clearly *that* was the "we're going to do something to keep you from bringing back the series" move that Berman reportedly alluded to before the airing... and hey, guys?  This is *Star Trek*.  Trip's *been dead* already.  Twice, IIRC.  All we have to do is completely ignore that episode, and move along.  I'm stickin' with "it's not cancelled until next season starts without it".--Baylink 23:31, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: You don't have to ignore the episode, either. Tasha Yar came back, after all. Yes, granted, it was an alternate timeline version. But then again Harry Kim and Miles O'Brien both died and were replaced by alternates as well (as was Picard at least once). So the death doesn't bug me. Incidentally, Pocket Books has just announced plans to do a Relaunch series of novels in the future and apparently the wheels are already turning with regards to storylines based upon questions raised in TATV. 23skidoo 00:54, 20 May 2005 (UTC)
replies: text:  Well, that will certainly make my sister happy.  :-)  Oh, I wouldn't ignore it completely; I'd just retcon around it.  "The Internet interprets poor judgement calls of TV series producers as censorship, and retcons around them."  ;-)  Anyone for a virtual season?--Baylink 21:04, 20 May 2005 (UTC)
replies: text:  I don't know if the book writers will do anything with this, but I've heard a few people comment that it looked as if Trip knew what was going to happen to him. Considering the initial time travel-related premise of this series, I could almost see Trip, at some point, learning about his fate through Daniels or whatever. Although a lot of people might argue about the execution of TATV, and fans of Trip may dislike what happened to him (personally I'm glad it was him and not T'Pol who died; about a year ago there was a wildcat rumor Blalock wanted out and they were talking about killing T'Pol off in "Zero Hour") ... the fact is TATV provided a lot of questions that licensed and fanfic writers are going to have a lot of fun with. Not to mention the fact there's 6 years of storytelling to do. As all the books and comics about TOS proved you can fit a hell of a lot of stuff into 5 years! (Actually I hope someone decides to do an ENT comic -- I'd love to see an artist like Jim Lee get his brush on T'Pol and Hoshi! 23skidoo 23:24, 20 May 2005 (UTC)
replies: text:  Poor guy Trip, he has had a child with T'Pol twice during the series and they finally killed him young and with no real children... and his parents lost both children. Boo-hoo... :) Arny 12:48, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Re: Trip buying it 

message: If the chronology fits, this episode should be set after the Earth-Romulan Wars which was supposed to be a devestating conflict that costs hundreds of ships, thousands of lives, and ended at the Battle of Cheron.  Does the episode mention the war?  if not, that is g laring contradiction and should be mentioned in the article.  I havent seen the episode yet, so I dont know. -Husnock 03:18, 27 May 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: The episode does not make mention of the war, however I personally feel that this was the smart thing to do because had they been mentioned it would have required the episode take a detour and explain the wars and all that, possibly fouling up Star Trek XI which is rumored to take placing during the War. It has long been established that the founding of the UFP was a direct follow-up to the Wars (an obvious parallel to the UN being formed after WWII) so for the diehard fans watching, it was something that need not be mentioned. The war ended about a year earlier, so it's not a conflict to have the NX01 doing non-War related things prior to the UFP ceremony. The general assumption has always been (and I believe Coto has confirmed this) that had ENT continued the war would have probably formed the major arc towards the end of the series (my guess probably another season-long arc like the Xindi). 23skidoo 04:02, 27 May 2005 (UTC)
replies: text:  I removed the Plot Holes section. It was simply too POV. The fact the Wars was intentionally not mentioned is one of yet another point of controversy for this much-maligned episode so I acknowledged it in the Controversy section, but Wikipedia is not a review site. 23skidoo 12:21, 30 May 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Romulan Wars

message: Harry Kim remained as an ensign throughout all seven years of Star Trek: Voyager, for example. - This is not that relevant, as the Voyager was in deep space anyways. Few promotions would have taken place because of that. ... As well, Riker and Troi are noticably old in the episode, compared to their age in the corresponding TNG episode. Very distracting. 24.76.141.128 04:33, 30 May 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Why would the presence of Voyager in deep space not be relevant? In Twilight Trip gets promoted to Captain even with the complete absence of Earth. As far as Riker and Troi, well that can't be helped. Had the plan to have a pre-Generations Kirk appear on the series worked out, we'd have seen the same thing. 23skidoo 12:20, 30 May 2005 (UTC)
replies: text:  Trip was promoted in that episode out of the complete abscense of a (useful) captain. If critical positions on voyager had deaths or something, the officers would have been promoted in the same way. They didn't usually. Enterprise wasn't so far (other than the Xindi season) that promotions wouldn't take place normally. 24.76.141.128 21:13, 31 May 2005 (UTC)

text:  And I wasn't all that serious about the age thing. It's not that big an issue, I'm just making an observation here. 24.76.141.128 21:14, 31 May 2005 (UTC)
replies: text:  I was actually stunned when they mentioned it has passed ten years from the launch, since they all looked just the same as in the "Broken Bow". C'mon, they should've tried harder, do they really expect people to buy that? Even Porthos was still alive and well :) Arny 12:44, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Voyager, age, etc. 

message: I mean, literally too much of him. The Starfleet uniform was rather unkind to Frakes' middle-age spread...apparently there is no South Beach Diet in the 23rd century...
:It's amazing how 'during the Pegasus' incident, Riker aged quickly & got pudgy, then for the rest of TNG, he was younger and slimmer. But seriously, having an actor (Frakes) reprise a role (Will Riker) in a past timeline (TNG era Riker, played by Post-TNG Frakes), is very difficult to pass off. Perhaps this could be mentioned in this article. GoodDay 21:09, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Too much Riker 

message: I know it's become sport to trash this episode, but is there really anything notable in listing minutae like this? Please, someome, give me a good reason why this section shouldn't be deleted and/or condensed into a single line: "Some fans criticized the fact the recreated NCC-1701-D didn't match the original TNG version in every little detail". 23skidoo 16:50, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: OK, I know people want to bash this episode forever, but some of the points brought up in this section are either a) just plain silly or b) so minute that no one cares, and have been deleted. The straw that broke this camels back was the purely POV and unrealistic comment regarding Troi and Riker as this was a so-called "error" that could simply not have been avoided. 23skidoo 18:14, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Do we really need the NCC-1701-D errors section?

message: The bit about Pocket Books contradicting the episode is a bit too substantial to be a trivia item, so I've given it a section of its own. I made some revisions, though, to remove a bit of POV and also have made note that not everyone is pleased with the decision, while also emphasizing the fact that the novels aren't considered canon so they really don't matter in the grand scheme of things (I didn't say that exactly, mind you - too POV!) .23skidoo 05:22, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: "These are the Voyages" episode is framed as a circa 2370 holoprogram being run 200 years after the events of 2155-2161, so it is canon insofar as it is historical holoprogram subject to that holoprogram author's interpretation/spin of events and any source material the program is drawing from. Clearly within the holoprogram much of the interpersonal interactions had to be extrapolated by the holoprogram unless we are to believe that the UFP is such a big brother society that it records the personal conversations in every room of the ship, including personal areas such as crew quarters.  Pocket Books' "The Good That Men Do" is similarly framed as a holoprogram, this time being experienced in the 25th century in table top version by an elderly Jake Sisko and Nog and based on material allegedly declassified long after Riker's playback in 2370.  The "The Good that Men Do" tells the story of Nog and Jake reviewing and comparing the differences between the new holoprogram Nog has pieced together versus the version generally accepted by the public (e.g., the "These Are the Voyages" holoprogram). Even if "The Good That Men Do" had been made into an episode, it would be on the same shaky footing that "These Are the Voyages" is on with respect to canon, both being framed as holoprograms based on holoprogram author's interpretation of events centuries after the events took place, and would be challenged to the same degree as present day historians are to piece together the personal life of figures such as Benjamin Franklin.  2602:306:380F:8DB9:CC49:7BA:B39B:F80D (talk) 21:49, 31 August 2013 (UTC)

message: I am removing the bit from the trivia section about this being the first episode in which Chef is shown as a person rather than just mentioned (even if it was Riker). This is not true. Chef appeared as a person in the Season Two episode "The Catwalk" when he dispensed meals to Hoshi, Travis, Malcolm and Trip. His face was never seen, just his lower body and torso, but he still appeared, and was specifically acknowledged by Hoshi when she said "Thanks, Chef".  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.50.151.8 (talk) 09:32, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

message: More than 18 months ago I stated that I was unconvinced that the inconsistencies section was necessary. Last month the section was also flagged as being unverified. And I am going to agree with this assessment. There are no sources cited, and it comes off as being completely OR. The fact they didn't get every detail right can probably be covered by linking to an online review or an article on the episode, but as it stands now the information provided appears to be completely OR. I am posting the information below so it is not lost. I am not opposed to it being put back with a source, but without sourcing I object to it for the same reasons I stated back in 2006, that it just seems like an excuse to bash the episode and its creators and that violates WP:NPOV. 23skidoo (talk) 20:30, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Source check II

message: So, I added the following paragraph to the criticism section:
:The episode was not, however, without its defenders. IGN reviewer Christopher Monfette called it one of the series' "best - or at the very least, the most memorable." DVD Verdict reviewer Adam Arsenau called it a "solid" episode, adding "hardcore Enterprise fans were dismayed at the heavy screen time given to cameos by Riker and Troi, but the point is moot, since there weren't enough of them to keep the show on the air anyway." While The National Posts Alex Strachan gave the episode low marks, he opined that "diehard Trekkers" would enjoy it, and said that the Next Generation cameos reminded him of "better Star Treks from the past", as compared to the frequent "bad acting" of such recent franchise entries as Enterprise. And in 2007, fans voting at startrek.com selected it (along with "Judgment") for inclusion on the "Captain's Log Fan Collective" DVD. 
In response, David Fuchs rv'ed it, wrote that I was "adding misinformation, unreliable sourcing, unreferenced facts, and making substantial changes that should be discussed on talk." Well, here I am. Where are the dubious sources and misinformation? Does anyone else object to this language being added to the article? Best, Mdiamante (talk) 19:43, 20 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: First off, selectively quoting Strachan is disingenuous; he doesn't mean "hardcore trekkies will like it" in a good way as evidenced by the context. Furthermore the Next Generation comment wasn't towards the episode itself but that the episode reminded him how much better old Trek was. Fans votes mean nothing and shouldn't be mentioned, as there's no way to figure out what that means. With the Monfette quote you're applying a general statement towards a single episode--also disingenuous. Finally DVDVerdict does not meet our stringent requirement for high-quality reliable sources for FAs. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs (talk) 20:00, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

message: The background section, which discusses the challenges the series had in the ratings, is missing a key fact: that many UPN stations frequently preempted the series during its run for sports events, etc. And UPN also re-aired the series during its final season on I believe Saturday night, leading Connor Trinner to, in a front-page story in Starlog magazine, ask people to watch the original broadcast, because at that time the ratings did not take into account time-shifting or alternate-night broadcasts. 70.72.211.35 (talk) 05:51, 19 April 2013 (UTC)
