All the Seska-focused ones. Good or bad, I don't care, I can't get over what they did to that character.

Let's see...

We watched Projections, skipped Elogium because who needs to see Neelix being insecure and jealous? "I don't want the Doctor standing in for your father in this important ritual blah blah blah!!!" Though Kes does get a good line out of that.

Watched Non Sequitur, Harry goes through hell to strand Paris in the Delta Quadrant again. With friends like that...!

Watched Twisted, skipped Parturition because see my note for Elogium.

Skipped Persistence of Vision, apparently, skipped Tattoo because racist, watched Resistance. Their native friend really is a heroic figure, even if nobody around him understands that. Poor man.

Watched Prototype because I'll always watch B'Elanna episodes, watched Alliances, skipped Threshold on the grounds that it's silly.

Watched Meld and Dreadnought, how many doomsday devices will B'Elanna reactivate? Only time will tell!

Watched Deathwish, Voyager Q episodes are worlds better than TNG Q episodes, though admittedly that bar is not very high.

Watched Lifesigns, I don't know when the Federation forgot about medical ethics but the Doctor and Bashir could really bond about how fun it is to creep on all their patients!

Watched Investigations and Deadlock, watched Innocence. I really like that episode though it makes absolutely no fucking scientific sense whatsoever. Also, I wonder how people whose ancestors didn't lead the Luddite revolution and who aren't high up in the government really feel about having cut themselves off from the greater universe?

Skipped The Thaw, watched Tuvix. Man, they really twist the knife with how murderous that resolution is, having Tuvix on the ship apparently for "months".

Skipped Resolutions and Basics, watched Flashback and The Chute, and how on earth do Starfleet officers keep on ending up in alien prisons? Like, seriously, how?

I think we watched The Swarm, but I genuinely cannot remember that episode!

Watched False Profits, which features that guy from Xena, and boy, he does not get enough credit for his spiteful glee in getting rid of the Ferengi, but he absolutely knew what he was doing.

Watched Remember, Roxanne Dawes does a really good job playing a somewhat self-absorbed and not-very-bright teenager.

Watched Sacred Ground. If you've got a random sacred field that will leave the uninitiated comatose, fucking warn people before you take them on a not-very-well-supervised tour!

Skipped Future's End and Warlord, watched The Q and the Gray, see my earlier note about Deathwish.

Watched the next five episodes, skipped Blood Fever because Pon Farr? Spare me.

Watched Unity, which is our first hint that we'll be running into a whole bunch of Borg pretty soon. It's interesting that none of the ex-Borg wanted a trip back to the Alpha Quadrant, and really, Voyager ought to recruit people more often. If nothing else, they could stand to hire a few nurses. They could take people on just long enough to get from here to there and then pick up new people as the old ones leave.

Watched Darkling, Rise, Favorite Son - man, with that last one I gotta say, Harry cannot catch a fucking break. Whenever anything good happens he should remind himself of that fact. "Am I gonna get laid, or will this end in another tramatic near-death experience? Magic 8 ball says "Outlook hazy", but we all know what that means!"

Watched Before and After and then the one where the Doctor first learns that you cannot treat your family like a game of the Sims and then proceeds to never mention those holopeople again, in any future episode.

Watched Distant Origin, I do not know how that Dinosaur scientist is both so very smart and so very stupid. How can he have absolutely no idea how his society works? Why did he think it was going to be a fair fucking trial!?

And finally, today, watched Displaced. I suppose the thieves carefully screen their acquisitions to make sure that the people they're robbing won't just dump them out the airlock one by one, after setting the autodestruct just in case. Also, the alien Voyager meets in the zoo prison suggests that he's only found one passage between two specific habitats, but he showed up to theirs awfully fast after their captors left. There's clearly an entire thriving prison economy, probably some of the guards are in on it too (that's why he rolled over so fast when they showed up!), he just didn't want to tip his hand too early, not while that information might still be valuable.

I've been doing a Voyager rewatch and I remember hardly anything.

My recently retired boss is Seska's (Martha Hackett's) sister. Boss reported that even sister was surprised when she learned her character was being killed-off. There wasn't much warning prior to receiving the script in question from what I recall boss had said.

I've lost track of who I have told. It's come-up a lot in the past six months for some reason. I agree at it being a royal firetruck screw-up.

Oh yeah, I hate the Seska ones too. And I'm also currently rewatching Voyager! :) Season 6 by now, so I wasn't quite sure about some of the things you mentioned there. But - the doctor's family - so true! *facepalm*
