Talk:The Doctor (Star Trek: Voyager)

message: Virtuoso is an episode in which the Doctor has the focus of the story. It should be included in the list of episodes in this article. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtuoso_%28Star_Trek:_Voyager%29  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Xilliah (talk • contribs) 10:58, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: So people can go through the list and watch every episode if they need to know a lot about the subject.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Xilliah (talk • contribs) 22:00, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

message: The article states about "Please state the nature...":
:"His program was later modified so that he was no longer forced to say this phrase when he was activated, though for a time he kept using it anyway because he could not think of anything better to say, and he did not like the awkward silence while he waited for people to tell him why he had been activated."
I got the impression that he was always programmed to say this, but as his higher faculties came online he was able to will the phrase to stop--as his personality developed, it became more likely he would want to do so.  Which is correct? Alksub 17:29, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

message: It'd be fun to put together a complete list of references to "I'm a doctor, not a X", by not only The Doctor but also all of the other Trek doctors. joo-yoon 19:28, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  "I'm a doctor, not a X" 

message: The article says, "In the series finale, one future is shown where he has chosen the name "Joe." The events of that episode involve changing history, however; thus this name cannot be considered canonical."  Clearly, one cannot say that the Doctor's name is Joe throughout the series, but I don't see any problem with the alternate future being in canon.
:Alternate futures are by their very nature, not canon. However...if Brannon Braga or Jeri Taylor or somebody with power says in an interview 'Yeah, such and such was always canon' then that is different. Lots42 (talk) 20:55, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Name "Canon"? 

message: The 'Backup Copies' section as it is seems to be original research. Or maybe I am completely misunderstanding it...it definitely needs citations of -some- sort; it's just that it's vey difficult to understand it. Limited memory? What? Lots42 (talk) 09:55, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Looks like I discussed this topic in the past and had forgotten it, but my concerns still stand. Saying 'Voyager never reproduced the doctor because of limited memory' just does not make sense. Lots42 (talk) 09:57, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

message: The Doctor on the Star Trek: Next Generation movie is not the same character as the Voyager Doctor. Lots42 (talk) 02:11, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It has to be. According to the episode where the Voyager Doctor meets his creator, all other EMH's using his appearance work in mines now. --86.87.28.191 (talk) 19:32, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: ??? But they are not the same entity. Though the same actor plays them both, Captain Kirk is not the same as his mirror-universe counterpart, both are different characters. Lots42 (talk) 00:52, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  A Friendly Note 

message: * This section may contain original research or unverified claims. Please improve the article by adding references. See the talk page for details. (July 2008) 
* This article may contain an excessive amount of intricate detail which may only interest a specific audience. The article could be improved by integrating relevant items and removing inappropriate ones. (January 2009) 
* This Star Trek-related article describes an aspect of Star Trek in a primarily in-universe style. Please help rewrite it to explain the fiction more clearly and provide non-fictional perspective. 
* The plot summary in this article is too long or detailed compared to the rest of the content. Please edit the article to focus on discussing the work rather than merely reiterating the plot. (November 2007) 
I understand the desire to post as much detail as possible however maybe we should try to keep this an easy read for the general public; especially considering the above notes. In depth, excessive and heavy details are better suited at memory alpha. When someone just backs up to an early edition because they do not like being edited or disagree, it returns the article to, according to wiki, an undesirablly intricate, heavily detailed and redundant piece. "Its an article not a documentary" ;-)

message: IIRC, there was an episode where Paris and the Doctor faced intruders. The Doc was having an ethical conondrum because he didn't want to hurt the intruders, yet wanted to save his friend. Someone came up with the idea of him simply sedating the intruders and it worked wonderfully. If I am remembering this correctly, I think this is worthy of being added in.

thread_title:  Opposing Enemies 

message: This is the redirect target for Emergency Medical Hologram as well.  I think there should be 1)  References to other EMH's, like the one on the Prometheus and the one based on Dr. Bashier, etc. or 2) Break out a disambiguation page of the various EHM's, with this page referring strictly to the EHM Mark 1.  Nutster (talk) 21:16, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, there is no need to direct all the EMH info here. As is clearly established, the Doctor's EMH is clearly his own character. Heck, he has civil rights and everything while the other EMHs do not. Lots42 (talk) 18:22, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Other EMH's? 

message: As I understood it, the problem with Ensign Jetal is that the Doctor chose a -person- to die. Not that he chose Harry because he was more of a friend. I hope I am making myself clear. Lots42 (talk) 12:29, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not sure how you could have watched that episode and come to the conclusion you have.  It is explicitly stated several time that it is because Harry was more of a friend. Dlabtot (talk) 15:46, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text:  Well, your conclusion would be completely out of character for the Doctor. But Voyager has done bad writing (in my opinion) before. Lots42 (talk) 07:42, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

message: Surely the “Species” of such a character should be ‘Artificial Intelligence’, or something along the lines of a software algorithm, rather than the mere physical manifestation (holography is only the means of presentation/appearance)?
One reason for retaining this distinction is to differentiate between other AI characters which are not holograms (Holly (Red Dwarf) comes to mind) — Lee Carré (talk) 18:02, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

message: There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Doctor Who#Redirecting 'The Doctor' to Doctor Who's 'The Doctor' about that thing it says in the link, and to link to this Doctor in a hatnote. —174.141.182.82 (talk) 15:31, 21 January 2015 (UTC)
