Imagine being an Admiral in Starfleet and getting a phonecall that Voyagers EMH has control of a prototype warship and wants to talk to someone at Command after fighting some Romulans.

One thing the writers got right about Reg was his emotional intelligence. He always wanted to make sure the crew not only got good information that would help them but also just reminders of home. He didn't have to show them a live image of earth but he knew they would love it and maybe even need it.

Voyager certainly had its fair share of shitty episodes, probably far more than any other series before Discovery. Threshold takes the cake. It also had some brilliant episodes and a great cast. I only wish it was created a few years later and they could get rid of the episodic nature. It doesn't really make sense to reset almost everything given that the show is about making progress back to the alpha quadrant. We should have seen a lot of battle damage. When it reached Earth, it should have been held together by Borg nanites, structural integrity fields and Janeway's hatred. Maybe some components would be replaced from scavenged ships just to keep it working - sort of. And they should have either found a way to craft more torpedoes or replaced them with some alien weaponry. That would make it more interesting. Endgame was crap. Spend less time in the journey home and more time with the aftermath. Wanted to see 7 of 9 at Starfleet HQ. Tom Paris and his father. What happened to the Maqui crew. And so on.

Each time I watch that scene from Pathfinder when she talks about Tom to his father, I always get a few tears.
"Sorry to surprise you. Next time we'll call ahead." "You've been calling us every day for the past few months!"
2:36 For some reason this opener evokes more of a "ship lost on the other side of the galaxy" then almost any other scene in the series. The attempts of going through garbled communications with different views of nebula and stars... It really gives a feel of them truly being on their own.

I love the attention to detail when they talk to Reg and Adm Paris. Janeway doesn't address Reg with any particular title, as she knows she outranks him. The second she talks to Admiral Paris, she immediately addresses him as "sir." I find things like this interesting.
Thank you for putting this together, one of the definite highlights of the latter seasons.
The Janeways "He heard you" from Pathfinder has another implication for his father that I'm not sure it was intended as such. In order for Paris to directly hear the communication means he is with the captain. Meaning not only that he does well but is in important position to be with captain at the time. Like on a bridge.

This makes sense. Though admiral Paris ought to know that already, or at least since the first message. The Doctor spoke with Starfleet HQ and ought to have been rambling on about the crew. Though the admiral couldn't have known Tom was on the bridge at that particular moment so he couldn't assume that and speak directly.

It also speaks to the incredible discipline Tom had gained by this point. He didn't even break protocol and speak up during the conversation. The younger impulsive Tom Paris who was incarcerated in the pilot episode would probably have done just that. Instead he stayed silent, when he very well could have become the only member of the crew to speak with a family member back home.

I dunno, the way they got home always felt like cheating to me. It seemed like Janeway went back in time just so seven of nine could survive. The lives of the officers who died in the pilot episode were members of her crew too and their lives mattered just as much as Seven, Tuvok, and Chakotay but their names aren't in the opening credits so screw them. It would have been more impactful if Voyager got home without time travel Deus Ex Machina IMO.

@@themidcentristYes and no. The officers in the opening episode were on a standard Starfleet assignment/tour of duty. The ones Janeway would have lost were ones she had spent years constantly with and had come to regard them as family. It was a personal mission for future Janeway to save her family, not just people who were assigned to her. I'm sure if the officers that died in the pilot episode had survived, then she would have done the same for them if she been through as many trials and tribulations as the ones she did put everything on the line for.

Most of these scenes are by far the most emotional in the series. Especially Pathfinder, when Reg did everything in his power & beyond to try & make that connection & then becoming the hero of Starfleet when it was finally connected, & hearing the 2 way transmission for the first time. Such fabulous acting in this series.
At 9:45, Ensign Harry Kim doesn't realize that he's hearing the voice of someone else that's taken forever to get promoted. Starfleet's oldest Lieutenant...none other than Lieutenant Reginald Barclay!
These were the moments that onestly made me cry for the first time in watching Star Trek. There was something about them being isolated and then reconnecting with Starfleet that made it hit the feels. And this is why I cry, every time I see Voyager at the Starfleet Museum in PIC S3. This show really was my favorite.

personally, the scene we got on the bridge with Adm Paris addressing his son via Janeway was perfect. It fit's the arc of a father and son reconciling but still having distance between them. Just as a father and son would, the most unrealistic scene would have been they hug and cry, coz no, that's not what their relationship was. Their relationship was formal, protracted, but with open ended hope
ST The OG was old, TNG started off very slowly but picked up by mid season 3, DS9 also started really slowly but then got good,...Voyager was a hit straight out of the gate and just got better and better..
Side note, Voyager actually confirms that Admiral Hayes survived the Battle of Sector 001. Which I believe, was up in the air.
