s6e15 "Tsunkatse" where not-Weyoun and not-Martok are the only real highlights

I'm committed to not skipping any episodes in this watch-through of Voyager. Which has already paid off because Initiations is usually an episode I skip, and I've skipped it so many times I completely forgot Aron Eisenberg was in it.

At least I've got a few more seasons to prepare myself for Tsunkatse.

Aw man, I actually like Tsunkatse because it's so ridiculous and cheesy

It absolutely has its silly charm. The Rock gets his shining moment as a heel with requisite body slam and eyebrow raise, Seven has a training montage with not-Martok, and Combs does Combs things. Everything else in the episode is filler.

One does not prepare for Tsunkatse. One only endures it.

They somehow made a meta episode about enduring pain that requires enduring pain to watch.

Ah, see, I did skip it this run through because "Akoocheemoya". Maybe I'll double back for it.

Funny story: I didn't get the "Akoocheemoya" reference for the longest time since those were episodes I always skipped. I love Chakotay as an ensemble character, but I'm not a fan of most episodes that he tries to carry. And then later learning that the show's Native American consultant was a fraud just made those episodes unwatchable.

Oh no I’m going to pretend I didn’t read that. The fraud part.

Nailed it. I did, however, buckle down and watch s5e18 "The Fight". Mostly because it has Boothby and the vision questing includes roles for the other cast.

Beltran's wooden performance works great when Chakotay is the friendly / disappointed dad-type authority figure (that's a weird way to phrase a compliment, but you know what I mean lol). Outside of that, it just doesn't work for me when the episode takes him away from the main cast.

Though I did like his performance with Janeway when they were left on that planet together.

I forgot about "The Fight". That one is going to be a struggle lol. I don't think I've watched it in its entirety since it originally aired.

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon' and fuck over our artist friends.

Fun will now commence.
