introducing the Star Trek: Voyager  Rewatch!

voyager-rewatch-series-header

I’m pleased to announce my next big project for Tor.com, now that the great superhero movie rewatch is coming to a pause: the  Star Trek: Voyager Rewatch!

From the intro post:

“But wait,” I hear you cry, “you kept saying you wouldn’t do  Voyager ! What changed?” And this is true. While I did do rewatches of  TNG  and  DS9 , instead of moving on to  Voyager  after  DS9 , I instead went back and did  the original  Star Trek , and then moved on to other things. Every time I was asked, I said I wasn’t going to do  Voyager  (or, for that matter,  Enterprise ). However, I have reversed that decision for a couple of reasons. One is that it is, as I said in the first sentence, the twenty-fifth anniversary of  Voyager . Just as  the  Star Trek  The Original Series Rewatch  was in time for the fiftieth anniversary in 2016, this will celebrate  Voyager ’s silver anniversary in 2020. The other is that my own general dislike for  Voyager  has come under fire from many friends and colleagues, including several women who are younger than me, who grew up watching  Voyager , and who count Mulgrew’s Janeway as a role model. It’s been ages since I watched any  Voyager  episodes. Back when I was regularly writing  Trek  fiction, I would rewatch episodes for research purposes, but that hasn’t been a factor in over a decade. The only episode I’ve seen in “recent” times is “ Flashback ” for the  DS9  rewatch’s “Tribbles Week Redux,” which was in 2014. I’m older, and I like to think wiser, and so I think it’s time for a re-consideration of  Voyager .

More details at the intro post.

The intro was today, which is the 25th anniversary of  Voyager ‘s debut on the brand-spanking-new UPN network. The first rewatch entry will go up on Thursday the 23rd (the same day that  Star Trek: Picard will debut) and appear every Monday and Thursday going forward.

I’m actually really excited about this, and am looking forward to looking at this show with fresh eyes.
