Anyone remember that time in Star Trek when Torres inspired poetry? ...didn't think so.

"think of these episodes as chakotay in the later seasons" damn that roast came our of nowhere.

"Alice" is basically "Christine" in space

[natecunha]

Speaking as someone who mostly watched Voyager only casually during its original run, I found Muse to be one of the most memorable episodes. In particular I still think back to the description of Tuvok's character (and Vulcan stoicism in general) anytime people discuss Vulcan emotions.

Harry Kim the most disrespected character on Voyager.

[CaptainFirefred]

I remember the Alice episode fondly, because it's such an obvious love letter to Stephen King's Christine.

Please stop trying to paint Neelix as some sort of predator. Kes was in her late twenties equivalent and Neelix was in his late 30s. A 10-15 yr age gap in a relationship started in adulthood isn't uncommon or creepy. My aunt and uncle got married at 30 and 45 and they've been married for 25 years now. It's a nonsense argument that Kes is 2 when her species only lives 8-10 years.

"Gravity" and "Natural Law" are actually great....

[jolan_tru]

Nightingale, Random Thoughts, Muse, Non-Sequitur, Gravity and Unforgettable are all personal favourites of mine.
I will never forgive TrekCulture for this most heinous list!

I really loved Muse. While I agree with most of the episodes on this list, it was good to see Tony Amendola cross over from Stargate to have a Star Trek guest appearance. Not to mention, it has a lot of stakes showing how B'Ellana handles a prime Directive nightmare after a few seasons of character development since the season 2 episode "Prototype." It had shown how much she has grown since then.

One does simply put Harry Him in the thumbnail of a forgettable episode, cause 2x05 "Non Sequitur" was quite enjoyable ☺

[LooneyLempke]

Wow, this was a list of many of my favorite Voyager episodes. I feel like there were way more forgettable ones!

[oddish]

Nightingale is memorable for me because it assassinated two characters:
1. When Harry mentioned to Janeway that he was still an ensign after 7 years, she was accusing and derisive. The warm and compassionate captain I knew did not treat people like that.
2. Harry, despite knowing only exemplary command chops from Janeway, Tuvok, and Chakotay, forgot everything they did.

It's also memorable because the showrunners actively rubbed the viewer's noses in the fact that no matter how much they complained, Harry was staying an ensign, and if they didn't like it, they could piss off. Keeping Harry at ensign was obviously a big deal to them, far beyond a stupid and unfunny joke.

[martint.ingham]

Non Sequitur is actually one of my favorite episodes of season 2. I saw it when it first aired, and many times afterwards. It's one of the better Harry Kim episodes.

[Aezetyr]

I've got this theory about 'Unforgettable' is that it's a cynical meta-commentary on the existence of romance episodes in Star Trek. Those of us watching the episode are only along for the ride, we are intellectually aware that the love is going nowhere, and the in-universe characters largely forget about the person they loved. Plus it was one of the *very* few times when Neelix was not a complete shitehead; he gave Chakotay some really good advice in a way that I wished had been the ground state for the character.

[CathrineMacNiel]

I remember fondly Unforgettable. Sure it doesn't change anything (does any bottle ship actually do?) but its story is still a tragic loss.

[QBCPerdition]

Strangely, since Voyager was important to me growing up, I remembered every one of these episodes just by the title.

[mikeetee]

Random thoughts and natural law are two one episodes I regularly go back to. And while I'm not a fan, Gravity is memorable with Lori Petty in it! Definitely not forgettable!

[snakatak]

Unforgettable.

Should’ve seen that coming.

[gamerofthesith]

As this was my Star Trek as a mid to late 90s star trek kid, I love all these episodes and thanks to Paramount + and Pluto tv, I've seen all these episodes multiple times and therefore will never forget them.

10:23 - Ironically the #5 pick is one of my favorite episodes and why I unlocked the "Yellowstone Class Runabout" in STO
