I am nevertheless pleased to see the return of concerns about the integration of the crews and show mythology peculiar to <em>Voyager<\/em>, and find this a pleasant enough hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>sunny jim points out that the line \u201cGet the cheese to Sickbay\u201d is worth the price of admission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our lead rebellious guy is as subtle as rocks in a sock, but overall this lot is more charming than anyone involved in TNG 7.15 \u201cLower Decks,\u201d scripted by the same teleplay authors. Tuvok comes off alienating; I can\u2019t imagine he would have been any more popular at Starfleet Academy. Surely Starfleet training has a greater component of positive motivation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the role of Tuvok&#8217;s advisor, Neelix proves he is no Guinan. The teaser with Janeway in the holonovel is pretty bad&#8211;it\u2019s second rate Star Trek doing third rate Masterpiece Theater. But in the later acts the dramatic beats land when they\u2019re supposed to, and I did not feel my intelligence was being insulted. So heigh-ho, a moderately high note to say farewell to Season One! There are still some kinks to work out with this series, such as far too many characters that bore me to death (Harry, Tom, and Kes), but I look forward to seeing where Season Two will take us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3.5 of 5 space sneakers.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/memory-alpha.wikia.com\/wiki\/Learning_Curve\" class=\"embedly-card\" data-card-recommend=\"0\" data-card-width=\"100%\">http:\/\/memory-alpha.wikia.com\/wiki\/Learning_Curve<\/a><script async src=\"\/\/cdn.embedly.com\/widgets\/platform.js\" charset=\"UTF-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n      ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>        1.16 &#8212; \u201c Learning Curve\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[18],"class_list":["post-4846","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-star-trek-relive-the-majesty-voy-episode-threads","tag-kevin-black"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/relivethemajesty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4846","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/relivethemajesty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/relivethemajesty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/relivethemajesty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/relivethemajesty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4846"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/relivethemajesty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4846\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/relivethemajesty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4846"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/relivethemajesty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4846"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/relivethemajesty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4846"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
