      now i want a series that's exactly like star trek except with a fantasy palette swap they're on a big-ass schooner in space, o'brien operates the teleportation circles, instead of shields they have wards there's still a big dilithium crystal at the heart of it all though

      One of my favorite episodes of Voyager, "Muse", is 100% about this concept The one where B'elanna Torres gets stranded on an Ancient Greece-themed planet and an alien Greek playwright turns her mission logs into a literal classical drama

      That one was one of the many Voyager Writers' Room cries for help It was veteran Star Trek writer Joe Menosky's final swan song and artistic statement before quitting Star Trek writing entirely

      Which is why the episode is surprisingly good, even if the concept is obviously corny and the meta message was obvious from the very beginning

      That the core concept of Voyager still "works" if you take all the science fiction elements away A proud ship of explorers blown by a storm into strange and distant seas, clinging to their memory of the Great City of "Earth" in a savage hinterland racked by poverty and war

      The "Borg" just being another dime-a-dozen predatory civilization of rapacious raiders and looters and slavers The worst cruelty they enact on their victims being that they steal your children to raise as their own, who grow up thinking that their ways are good and right

      The playwright desperate to carry out the very serious mission of keeping the archon of the polis from declaring another brutal war by showing Captain Janeway and Seven of Nine resolve their differences peacefully

      That young Seven, a poor orphan girl stolen from the Great City of Earth to be raised in the ways of deceit and betrayal and taught there was no law in this harsh world but strength, could be brought home by Janeway, with enough patience and kindness and trust

      That the Great City of Earth only came to exist because her own ancestors had left the way of hatred behind long ago, and learned a better way (This is, notably, what Voyager was supposed to be about and almost never actually was about)

      (The "We need to learn to trust Seven so she can learn that trust is a value to be reciprocated" thing never really panned out Neither did "We must hold onto our values to be better than the Kazon and Hirogen etc. we're trapped among")

          one of the constant failures of trek is that the writers of trek are committed to writing the federation but secretly don't actually believe in the federation "talk it out with the aliens? reject violent domination? embrace openness and vulnerability? UNREALISTIC!"

          "in order to survive in the TOUGH WORLD of HUMANS WITH FUNNY FOREHEADS, obviously the federation must act like an imperial power, achieving domination through superior force and then magnanimously dispensing peace and justice!"

          Honestly Season Three of Enterprise did what Voyager was supposed to be way better than Voyager actually did. They actually took into account the fact they couldn't resupply or repair the ship, Archer was forced into real ethical dilemmas as a result, etc.

          This is why it's so disappointing that the pitch to make 'Year of Hell' into a season-long arc was rejected. Sure, they would've hit the reset button at the end of the year? But at least the stakes would've *felt* real.

          The final lines of that episode always get me verklempt because they're such a bold mission statement for what Menosky *wanted* Voyager to be, this defiant reclamation of corny old-school Trek values that no one has ever actually done

          With this very old-school insistence it didn't matter whether the main plot arc was ever resolved "And so B'elanna Torres, half-Klingon, half-human, Chief Engineer, returned to Voyager Proud Voyager, Voyager of the white sails, Voyager who braves new seas without fear"
