Watching Voyager during laundry time.
Nov. 5th, 2014 09:59 pm(HOW I HATE LAUNDRY TIME.)
Two, three episodes ago was that episode with the starless expanse of space, which doesn't even remotely hold up. That expanse takes two years to cross at top speed, and only one small-time waste disposal company knows how to get there, and that's relatively recent. How could they possibly have dumped enough theta radiation there to poison all the inhabitants?
The waste disposal guy was perfectly willing to help Voyager out until he realized they could put him out of business. This seems to imply that his government would be perfectly willing to buy this technology. Yet here we are, two episodes later, and they bump into another Malon garbageman and nobody makes even one comment about how he'll be out of business shortly. Nobody says "Well, thank goodness those jerks will stop being toxic now that we gave our tech to their government!" or "Too bad their government is just as awful as the dude we met in the void". Kinda makes it sound like they destroyed the wormhole and then never bothered to do any follow-up, which would be par for the course for Star Trek except they bring the Malon back two episodes later! Sloppy, sloppy guys.
