    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

          It’s pretty much just a couple of lines of dialogue in season 3 when they figure out how to use that communication network for a few episodes. [I am rewatching voyager now.] Janeway mulls over it for a bit and then it’s dropped by the end of the episode.

      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.

        Including Paris, if my memory serves me right.

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