On a different note, what surprised me the most afted rewatching voyager's pilot after a good 15 years is that Janeway had a boyfriend/husband/partner. I mean he was mentioned in at least another episode during 1st season but I'm pretty sure he has been forgotten by then

Oh, Mark comes up a few times. We eventually learn that he got married sometime after Starfleet gave up on Voyager being found.

I had a look at Memory Alpha and you are right, he is mentioned. Yet it was so forgettable that I removed it every time I rewatched the show

There’s light commentary later before she finds companionship in fair haven, but essentially she sees how stranded she is and it’s posed to her as inappropriate to partner with someone under her command.

For the most part though, we do forget about her boyfriend and she has flings with a few guys along her way.

Which is a damn shame given all the looks she and Chakotay shared. And that time they thought they were going to be stuck alone together forever.

Yeah I think they’d have made an appropriate power couple after bonding like that.

Including Paris, if my memory serves me right.

I admit the last time I watched Voyager, was when it was on broadcast TV...

You’re correct but that was a warp 10 fiasco where they were another form of life so they agreed not to count it. B’Elanna would shred Paris to pieces.

they had offspring. there was a peer-reviewed paper published about it in 2018.

[–] EmpathicVagrant 5 points 1 year ago

Oh I know too well about their offspring, I often think about their lives after the captain and her pet convict left.
