This. Vorta were supposed to be administrators, diplomats, and battle commanders, in that order. It makes perfect sense for Weyoun to die for saying the wrong thing, as in all 3 capacities, Vorta are responsible for their words more than anything else. Naturally, uttering the wrong words means they have failed in their duty and thus are expected to die, if not from the direct consequences of their failure (i.e. giving the wrong order in battle and their ship being destroyed as a result), then from their suicide implants upon orders from a Founder.

I think the whole episode was flawed as it seems to misunderstand the concept of evolution. Clearly whoever wrote the episode had no idea what they were talking about. As stated in tvtropes on the subject: Artistic License - Biology: Evolution leads species to inadvertent extinction all the time, usually from something like overspecialization, such as a single species parasite being out of luck if that species itself goes extinct. But the idea of a straight up genetic disease, somehow treatable with antibodies yet interfering with protein production to the point of death, spreading enough to doom an entire species, is simply nonsense. Phlox believes, based on scant and untested evidence from less than 2 days of information gathering and genetic profiling, that the Menk will someday be the dominant sentient species on the planet if the Valakians go extinct. But assuming future evolution from current trends, and making a medical conclusion based on that, is extremely arrogant and shortsighted. In addition, evolution has competition as a large component; far from 'holding them back', their relationship with the Valakians could in fact be what is driving the Menk to become more intellectually sophisticated, and Phlox is in fact dooming both species. Conflation of theory and Scientific Theory on the topic of evolution, but reversed from the usual misconception that evolution is 'only' a theory; Archer (accurately) says that the conclusions of Phlox concerning the relationship of the Valakians and Menk are only a theory, which Phlox in his response dismisses by deferring to the Theory of Evolution. This is a non sequitur, since Archer was clearly using the term generically to refer to what in scientific parlance would be a hypothesis, something which needs testing and is certainly not a final conclusion.

Personally, Sulu’s sexuality was never really an issue in the show, he was the senior helmsman. His job was not to be a gay helmsman or a straight helmsman, just to fly the ship. If one takes Star Trek at face value, it was never mentioned by any of the rest of the crew ‘it did not matter.’ Can he fly? ‘Yes.’ Ok. Patrick Stuart was asked about Picard’s baldness “surly by then they will have fixed male pattern baldness?” He replied ‘by then they will not care..’ (or words to the effect of.) It would never get mentioned because ‘it was completely irrelevant.’ George Taki was gay, and I think that is irrelevant to the fact he played a cultural icon in a ground braking tv show.

I agree with George Takei. Kirk's death seemed correct, but it still shocked me the first time I saw it. Why they didn't just transfer Yar is beyond me. No, Phlox did the right thing. Not only did he follow procedure, he also showed he could be trusted to giving full medical disclosure (what a doctor should do). Not only does the Captain knows this, but the audiance found this out as well. Jadzia dies...shocked...still shocked...many years later, still shocked.

Sulu: Kelvin is an entirely different timeline not a prequel to the original characters so it is totally a moot point.

It's pretty strange that the exact same thing that Terry Farrell had requested and was vehemently denied was the exact same thing as Gates McFadden in STNG. Gates being out of season 2 was a shallow denial by the producers to her reguest for less time filming in order to do her choreography and dance. It was only the fact that Diane Muldaur didn't and wouldn't sign anymore than a 1 yr contract. Then she got offered the starring role in LA Law so she told the Producers to stick it up you know where. The only reason they chose to offer Gates a reprieve and a re-signing is that the writers expressed their 'beliefs' that trying to write a 3rd completely new character in the same number of seasons for the Chief Medical Officer was next to impossible. Since a strong character base already was established in Dr. Crusher persona, it was far more likely to succeed than the 3rd option. 1st. optio was resign Diane and she DEFINITELY wasn't coming back. 2nd option, create an entirely new character and HOPE that actor/actress brought in coalesces with the established ones in place & 3rd, Reassign Crusher from Starfleet Medical to the Enterprise supposedly at the adamant reguest from Captain Picard.

Then endgame plays out similar it wouldn't be the last episode.

Leaving aside all other considerations, the principal one is whether Dax was needed as a full-time character in season 7. If they thought they did and they couldn't have Jadzia, it made sense to have Dax be forced into a new host. There's also SAG rules that would have been involved. Apparently once billed as a main character on a TV series, an actor must remain so billed in episodes they are in, even if in a reduced role. That happened with Na'Toth in _Babylon 5_ when she was brought back for a single episode in season 5 using the actor who played her in season 1.

Icheb was a really cool character. Death seemed a little rough.

Dax isn't the only Trill symbiant in Star Trek.

It would have been fun to do maybe an episode or two beyond that where Jameway gets her Admirals [well earned] stripes, and Chakotay got a ship. Voyager herself would have to be grabbed and studied for YEARS after, maybe decommissioned. All that sweet tech sitting in that ship ? darn right.

Voyager's ending was a lot more satisfying than Enterprise's ending. It wasn't spectacular, but it was fine. In a modern show or movie, there might have been some follow up, but the finale took care of most of the loose ends. It just didn't go further than concluding the series. It is a shame that we never got to see that shiny new ship fully functional, except for a few moments before becoming lost in space.

I totally agree with the ending of Voyager. At least one (or even twenty minutes of an) episode should've been dedicated to what the crew does. It feels like they got home and that was the end of it... With several cliffhangers just sitting out there.

Part of why Tekae wanted to maintain continuity with Sulu, is because in the Novels Sulu makes mention of his wife and daughter as well as introduces his wife and daughter to Kirk. Which is why in Generations they make the reference to Sulu's daughter and family. So yes they Changed the story which made Tekae rather upset as they approached Tekae first about the change and when Tekae gave his Objections they went through with it anyway and he asked for a boycott of the film and many fans did respond. I don't know if he has seen the film. But it is a huge insult to ask the man for his input, ignore him and do the opposite of what they all agreed upon.

Kirk - I thought at the time it was just to kick Bill to the curb, SNL skit aside. Only later did someone describe it as “Captain on the Bridge!” flipped around. Then it became hilarious. His follow up books in 90s and behavior in recent years only cements Kirk’s fate as just for me. Tasha - what, no mention that Denise still had more to film after her death? Her last filmed scene has her in the background giving a small wave as the camera cuts away. I’m sure the producers were eager to trim that out as best they could, but the dialogue prevented it. Enterprise - it seems like Frakes and Bakula have buried the hatchet over the final ENT ep, but they did the whole crew dirty in that one, not just Trip or Archer being left to be holo-actors in a documentary or however you want to describe it. Sulu - who’s to say Sulu wasn’t bi? The scene was written that it could have been his brother, or just the girl’s guardian while Hilary was away on missions. We only have behind the scenes confirmation that was his lover. George DID come around after Pegg’s counterpoint, so maybe he could have talked to Simon/JJ in private before going public against what was meant to be a positive nod to him and LGBTQ community? Hell, for all we know, that could have been his niece?

Voyager should have found an unknown wormhole, got sucked in and that should have been where the show left off. At the end of the war in DS9 that wormhole should have opened up and dumped Voyager right in the middle of the fight, and they could have had the "cavalry arrives" moment that would have ended both shows in a pretty awesome fashion.

Re #1: I fully agree that the decision to kill off Jadzia was a mistake by the producers. But isn't it also worth mentioning that the reason that the issue of a reduced workload for Terry Farrell came up in the first place was that she had signed on for a full-time role in Ted Danson's new sit-com, whose first season conflicted with DS9's last? I fully understand that Terry Farrell wanted to do what was best for her career, and had every right to do so, but I also understand why the producers might have felt rather jilted by her decision, & therefore simply dumped her rather than accede to her demand to stay on as a part-timer. Cooler heads should have prevailed, a compromise found at least somewhat acceptable to both sides - but the reason Jadzia was killed off went beyond simple unprovoked (and unexplained) spite on the part of the producers.
