Reg went from the joke character in TNG to the MVP of Voyager.
Deanna, Geordi, and a bunch of other people would be so proud of him.
Like O'brien on ds9, from recurring character to main cast. Reg could definitely have pulled that off as well
The A-Team of TNG

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.
The admiral: 😮😳
@@theblasteffect4499the admiral, sure, but there are multiple admirals… one of which would take that call.
It’s almost as headache inducing (that phone call) as dealing with timeline paradoxes.. Braddox!
April Fool's....😂
I'm suddenly overwhelmed by a desire to rewatch Voyager for the 17th time.
been there, done that lol
my fav series - the first micro wormhole comms was a great moment
I literally just watched "Star Trek: Voyager - Timeline of Contact With Starfleet" and then I saw this.
Only 17 times, you must be young one 😁enjoy
My brother and I have been developing an Ultimate Voyager drinking game for the last three years. We watch the series at least twice a year.
Kate Mulgrew captured the "so bittersweet, try not to cry" on the "keep a docking bay open for us"
She was amazing at capturing that feel, same at 2:27
She generally was wonderful at making insanely compliex and subtle emotional expressions
That scene always makes me tear up
"Keep a docking bay open for us."
That slight waver in her voice was excellent in portraying the emotion her character would have been experiencing.
Kate is so good at suppressed emotions. Always gets me in the feels.
I swear Voyager is such an underrated series
I just started watching it again.
With the most underwhelming ending. Just an escort back to Earth and then roll credits. So disappointing.
I never realized that “I love you and im proud of you” line was reused with Tom when he finally heard from his father, nice touch
10:45 was always a great line: "he heard you, Admiral" it was a signal that Tom was not only an exception part of the crew, he was part of the bridge crew, which surely made is dad even prouder that his son redeemed himself.
I never thought of it that way! Thank you for opening my eyes to that little tidbit :-)
Excellent point. I am now in one of those moments when I say to myself, “why didn’t I catch that?!”
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.
Reg was done a little dirty during his time in TNG imo. But he really got to shine in Voyager. :) A clearly autistic, awkward, and troubled person. But also a brilliant mind with a lot of compassion.
typical ADHD brain is Barclay, beautiful representation. I always gravitated towards him bc I understood that underneath all the social awkwardness and anxiety was a person whop really really cared
Endgame needs 15 extra minutes to absorb that they made it home. Hell, one more episode even.
Yes, we didnt even see voyager landing or similar, just a giant fleet of ships escorting it back to earth, which is cool and all but not enough
Agree. I was hoping to see more of Voyager returning home. Even a montage of them debriefing and such, would've been a nice touch. Ending with them reuniting with their families.
Nothing was worse in star trek series than the last episode of Enterprise.
@@SeptemberMeadows Agreed, killing of Trip was just to provoke an emotional reaction
@@SeptemberMeadows without a doubt
Voyager may have had some struggles with continuity and some weird decision making. But it doesn’t change the fact that it was a tremondous journey watching them come home. Truly a great piece of the Star Trek universe despite its little issues.
Absolutely true. Every series had some issues with what you commented on. But it still worked, just like the others did. I'm glad I was a part of this
Kate Mulgrew was absolutely brilliant in this series. Her portrayal of being both a stalwart captain and a homesick human was always so well balanced.
And Reg could have had his own biopic written about him for his feats on Voyager!
She is a very good actress. That relief and weight on her shoulders was eased a little.
When I saw the original broadcast of "Message in a Bottle" episode, and the doctor said "I talked directly to Starrfleet Command"
I yeld YES!!! while crying.
10:55 “…keep a docking bay open for us!…” that line hit me real hard that did! 😢
I'm not weeping, you're weeping! 😢😢😢😢😢😢
Always hits me
That line always made me tear up for some reason
Me too. The whole scene makes me tear up.
Kate mulgrew knows how to git the feels. It's why she's my fav
For those who say Voyager is a shit Trek series you have to remember that at it's core it was just a group of people trying to get home. Episodes like these made it all worth 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.
@Outworlder Oh man. I saw a vid covering Year Of Hell and apparently that was pitched as a season long arc. That would have been an amazing route to take.
@@Outworlder "Endgame was crap. Spend less time in the journey home and more time with the aftermath." You would have thought they would have taken lessons from DS9's finale that was 2 hours and the second havlfwas the aftermath and epilogue.
@@stephenwillis6937 I firmly believe that if the Temporal Cold War arc in ENT was treated like the Year of Hell in VOY, then ENT wouldn't have tanked. Make the whole S1-S2 story arc into the length of the Xindi arc and it'd be gold. Which is funny because I absolutely agree that the Year of Hell could have been an entire season.
I thought Voyager was brilliant and really hit its stride when Seven joined. It had its mid-fires of course, but what series doesn’t. Would’ve preferred an extended ending in those final scenes but it was great to see. Love Voyager
That message for Tom always gets me.
yeah you know i always think there sure were guys who deserved it more but didnt have a daddy admiral
You actually think? Good job. @@sebastianliebmann6014
Me too
Each time I watch that scene from Pathfinder when she talks about Tom to his father, I always get a few tears.
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.
Solid super-cut🖖🏾 I was glad you stayed with B'Elanna as she delivered the letters to Harry and Tom 🤘🏾Be well!
Its been so long since i watched the best Sci Fi series ever produced but these little clips brought me to tears. I miss my adopted family so much 😪thank you for this x
I shouldn't get emotional over a TV show but damn, it was one hell of a journey and I miss it.
We tell stories to make each other feel emotion. From around a campfire to IMAX theatre, stories are meant to make you laugh cry and gasp. There's nothing wrong with your heartstrings being tugged by a TV show, the medium is not any lesser than any others, it proves again and again to stand tall with the rest of Film and Broadcast that it can tell a story that you will always remember.
Sorry but why on earth shouldn't you get emotional over a TV show? That is quite literally the entire point of art
"Sorry to surprise you. Next time we'll call ahead."
"You've been calling us every day for the past few months!"
Thank you for putting this together, one of the definite highlights of the latter seasons.
"Keep a docking bay open for us...." always gets to me.
I still feel the onion ninjas attack me when Voyager makes it back home. It's such a momentous journey that I followed all the way from Season 1. It was definitely a crew you truly came to know as family.
Exactly
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.
@@riptos0074 agreed
I love how the last order she gives "Set a course, for home" is the same order she gave at the end of the pilot just with a completely different tone.
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!
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.
i just rewatched the voyager series a few weeks ago because i was wondering about the timeline of contact with starfleet! awesome timing!!
The net is adjusted to your exact interests sir...also plz wake up, we miss u!
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.
it's good to hear you're voice lieutenant 🤷
The Doctor is truly an intrepid and brave hero.
Well he does serve on an Intrepid starship.
@@HupfderFloh and also an Ancient City-Ship
"You're no longer alone." - Doesn't elaborate further, Runs into the Equinox next season.
"Rudy."
Starfleet wasn't aware that the Equinox was in the DQ as well.
“You’ve got a fine crew Captain, promise me you’ll get em home”
THIS IS HOW OUR WORLD SHOULD BE. Imagine if we all were one, merged all our resources, travelled their stars in mutual cooperation, discovery and exploration, what a beautiful world that would be. I probably won’t live to see it, but I hope one day, the human race is united in peace and exploration ❤
I'm afraid the problem of evil will always exist.
@@pirincriAnd evil fears the force of good will also always exist.
Imagine if there existed an extraterrestrial threat so big, that our race is unified, and begins to govern our planet as one. That all conflict on planet earth is turned outward, and human-on-human conflict on this planet is brought to zero. This future is far closer at hand than we think.
I agree with you 100 percent
@@seankash8546 humans would still hate other humans
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.
Also appreciate that in the final homecoming scene, the Admiral’s eyes kept dropping…. he couldn’t keep his eyes off his son for long.
So I think it was a miss opportunity for the admiral find out he's just became a grandfather.😅
11:33 Rare shot of Voyager. I don't remember seeing it from this angle
it's the same shot you get in the opening credits as Voyager goes through the Ion cloud but slightly lowered angle. back in the early 200s CGI was still expensive so shots were reused often - see Enterprise as a example
@@user-fe1gb9uc1tTrue but how often did they use this shot? It's just nice to see something different instead of the usual shot of Voyager flying over in ever episode. The Voyager theme adds to it I might add.
STAR TREK : VOYAGER
is a series
that has unlimited
rewatchability
because it's 1 continuous story
from
CARETAKER to ENDGAME
Voyager was definitely not a shit trek series it had some incredible episodes like 7 of nine
It does not hurt the show that the bar of quality has dropped significantly since Voyager graced our screens.
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.
Katmulgrew nails suppressed emotions every time. Always makes me tear up. It's why she's my fav
Such a great cut of the show.
Thanks for putting all this together. 👍
Side note, Voyager actually confirms that Admiral Hayes survived the Battle of Sector 001. Which I believe, was up in the air.
Shouldn't the doctor's mobile emitter have dropped to the ground when they transferred the program?
Yes, it should have.
My thoughts exactly
Yes - he also returned without it... Continuity editor's day off?
Finally someone noticed
It has an automatic anti-shock system to protect it.
My fav!! Thank you for this 😊
I clicked on the video thinking there's no way I'm gonna watch all 18.5 minutes of it. I was wrong.
I love it. Thank you for sharing!
Great job editing this. Your attention to stay with the actor’s rhythms and play out the scenes throughout was a strong choice.
All of these had me tearing up. Sorry to the haters, but I loved this show. Thank you for putting them together.
Excellent video! Thank you so much!!
Thank you for creating this, its so wonderful to see it all in one place!
Ive seen Voyager probably at least twice all over and its still so amazing to see these moments.
The Pathfinder episode final part gets me every time 🥲 9:35
The intro of "seven" kept this series going. So much better with writing for her plus dr.
I always hated how it ended. It was just a we’re back and that was it. No debriefing or a quick where they now ending.
The fact that they spent so much time on the beginning part with the alternate timeline proves they absolutely could have included a final montage or something
They would have returned to a quadrant devastated by the Dominion war, but there is no mention of this, a lot of their family, colleagues and friends would have perished in that war, it was like nothing happened.
Yeah, there should have been 20 minutes of them walking on Earth, catching up with the changes etc
🙂This was nice. Voyager, show and ship, may have had their respective... 'issues', but this video, literally and figuratively, brings home the good, of Voyager...
Thank you for assembling that, CaptainJZH.
The Dominion War felt so powerful in 4x14-4x15 that ramifications were being felt even in Voyager.
Great job with the video, I'm sure it took a lot of work. Thank you!!
Thanks for the trip down memory lane…as I don’t get to see (because of the time it airs) the series
Thank you CaptainJZH.
Excellent compilation.
Thank you for your work.
WELL DONE! Thank You
It looks like its a really flawless work and I like it very much, I mean everything of this video. (editing, timeline, presentation and on and on.) Live long and prosper.
Currently rewatching for the 1st time since the 90s. Already rewatched ds9. Honestly ahead of star wars for world building.
Thank you for making this, first I thought that this wash made years ago, but happy to see it's from 2024.
Voyager is not a memory but more like I belong to the crew.
Emotional watching this, thanks again:))
Doctor: I spoke with Starfleet Command… and I’m going to conveniently leave out for your benefit that the entire Federation is currently locked in a total war for survival and tens of millions of people are dead…
Seriously people, Season 4 of Voyager = Season 7 of DS9. The Doctor is being very very circumspect in that scene
I remember the Dominion war gets mentioned during that episode but I guess they didn't deem it necessary to debrief the Doctor on that.
EXCELLENT LOVE IT WHEN SOMEBODY FINDS THE STORY THREAD ARC!!
hope and fear was an underrated episode, the music was top tier
These scenes are bringing a tear or two to my eyes.
Well done!!!
I find this hilarous!
15:44 Captain Janeway: "How's the weather in San Francisco?"
Admiral Paris: "Cold and rainy as usual!"
16:36 Lieutenant Barclay: "Not too much cloud cover over North America today!"
Image showing clear skies over California. WTF???
Admiral Paris hasn't left Starfleet HQ all day and there's no windows lol
@@CaptainJZH Haha 😆
Also summer in the afternoon. I don't live on that part of the world to know it's climate but I wouldn't expect it to be cold in there (?
“The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco,” -- Mark Twain
(But don't ask me which Twain!)
Awesome, thank you
Probably one of my favorite voyager episodes
Which one? There's a dozen here
The first one where the doctor goes to Prometheus @@xp8969
Love the technobabble.
i never noticed that belana had a toolpocket in her uniform
She was wearing a jacket to hide her pregnancy. 🥰
@@ewilliamson488Your comment in context to OP steered my mind on a heading right into the gutter.
Barkely is the best damn engineer ever. He does not get enough credit.
Hyper = above, sub = below: Hyper subspace = space.
Possibly they are using hyper as fast, making that less nonsensical
9:14 Pathfinder was Season 6, Episode 10
15:12 "Face to Face" - Might be a coincidence but I like to think he was referencing his A-Team co-star DIrk Benedict's character Face.
I've watched every one of these episodes
I was so happy for Harry when he got his letter from home.
Not sure why, but I got so emotional watching this.
Same!
Maybe I'll rustle some feathers here, but Voyager and TNG are the best Star Trek series.
The music really takes me back.
they should have made it home at the start of season 7, then delt with the return in season 7 - the last scene of the show should have been Adm Paris holding his grand-daughter with all of the crew around them as family.
I am not crying, you are crying 😭
I is not cry, you is cry( appa Kim)
Still brings tears to my optical receptors.
good video!
And just like that, Voyager is the most powerful ship in the Alpha, Beta and Gamma Quadrant
Pathfinder is my favorite Voyager episode.
My biggest regret from Voyager is that they should have had a couple of episodes where they showed what it was like when the crew got home. Missed opportunity for some good story telling.
I wish they'd gotten home at the end of season six so we could see them all adjust back to life in the Alpha Quadrant. Plus the aftermath of the Dominion War.
When sending an entire hologram is more effective than a text message.
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..
I liked endgame but still always thought it was missing something, like it was anticlimactic.
Yeah I think it needed a epilog to show the main cast reunited with family and friends and Harry Kim getting a promotion.
The writers they say did it on purpose because they were mad. They didn't actually want to bring Voyager home.
I still think they should've concluded Voyager on the big screen in what became "Nemesis"!
At the eleventh hour, joining forces with the Enterprise and the Romulan resistance, to defeat the Remans and their misguided leader.
Instead they tried to tie things up in the last two episodes, though the last one was an extra long one, it felt hurried and half-assed. It deserved better...
It needed to show them landing and meeting family
"This is admiral Paris" and then Tom's face and body language.
I tear up when Barclay makes contact
On another note couldn't they have used the holodeck to figure out a "puzzle"? Use the best minds?
Why is sending an AI construct faster and more reliable than sending a text message? Somebody has all their data science classes backwards.
bc an interactive Hologram can ask follow up questions. A one way SMS can't
Voyager's homecoming fell flat for me. Janeway goes from barely holding back tears when they establish contact in "Pathfinder" to cold and virtually emotionless after actually arriving home. Also I wish we had gotten more time with them after they arrived back in the Alpha Quadrant. The first episode of the finale could have been them getting back with the final episode showing them reunite with friends and family. Or even if they didn't want to spend that much time on it, make it the last 10-15 minutes at least.
I think Ronald D Moore wanted to bring them home in season 5 as a part of the episode Equinox but the people in charge of the show didn't believe in changing the formula or doing anything radical or unexpected.
Well they did have a partial reunion with friends and family. They had grown older and had grey hair. The Doctor was married to a gorgeous blonde (real human he mentioned because Tom Paris was shocked that he didn't marry a hologram). B'Lanna and Tom had 2 or 3 kids by now and Harry was a Captain by this time. I forget the name of the episode but Janeway was Admiral looking for a way to travel back in time. I think it was the slipstream technology episode where some got home but some of the crew didn't.
The very ending was....I so wanted to see what happened after they got back.
