My stepmother told me she didn’t like Star Trek Voyager because it was unrealistic, and would watch Beverly Hills 90210 when it was on.

The lives of the characters on Star Trek Voyager is closer to our lives then than 90210 was. One was set on our planet with realistic looking people, but the other had aliens in places we don’t even know exist, all the settings are made up. However, one had people who live impossibly well off lives, while the other had people working together to solve their problems.

I’d identify with Janeway, but I drink more coffee than she does. Honestly I’m more like Neelix. Love to cook, good with kids, and a natural mediator. But my favourite character was Tuvok, I always like the logical ones. Spock, Data… DS9 is hard because Odo kind of fits that, but I was leaning more toward Jadzia, not just because she’s hot, but for her scientific background.
