Thank you! Still being tweaked mind so may post an updated version in coming weeks/months

It does, but I didn't have the imagination in me to come up with a Voyager C,D,E,F,G,H and I

These sets look great, but I really hope they change the slip cover of the complete Picard series within the Legacy collection.

To not feature Rios, Jurati, Dahj/Soji or Elnor when they were main characters for two seasons is pretty insulting.

I mean, I think the entire episode which revolves around how quick they can build the Delta Flyer is that reference...

Interestingly it was almost an opposite phenomenon, Voyager was widely liked at the time but became less popular as serialised TV shows took off.

It's now coming back again as people are getting a bit burned out by everything having to have a season long plot line

There were a number of angles for Chakotay I think.

The romance with Janeway was obviously squashed by Mulgrew but could have been an interesting one to explore.

But the biggest missed opportunity was not making him into a more official counsellor/advice position - we have here a highly spiritual man who manages to keep a cool head in most situations. Use that. Don't have Seven go to The Doctor for social lessons (as fun as blind leading the blind plots are), have it be Chakotay.

I feel like they kind of realised this angle in S7 when they had Seven working with the Chakotay hologram, but the less said about how that turned into that ridiculous romance the better.

Sometimes it's nice to have a show about people in a dire situation, where instead of everything being shit the lights are on and they're productively working together to accomplish their aims.

Another potential angle is that you probably don't want to advertise on the bridge, in the middle of a battle, when your ship is half renegade Maquis that the Federation can build torpedoes from scratch on any new starship.

If they'd made it back home as quickly as they hoped, every Intrepid class would become a massive target.
