It's okay, Tuvok. You'll always be Voyager's true Battlestar Babe to me.

The Rock sure has come a long way; from barely playing a character for three minutes on Star Trek to barely playing a character for the entirety of many full length feature films.

I am kind of sad the plot wasn't about Neelix almost destroying the ship with borgified cooking equipment.

They hired Jeri Ryan for eye candy but she was the best actress on that show, they gave her a compelling story and created a memorable character.

"I'm a resistance fighter... or something..." had me gasping for air

“Voyager has made made me very angry many times, but this is the kind of stupid I can get behind.” -My thoughts of Voyager in general when I decide to actually watch an episode.

Favorite cameo will always be mac fleetwood being unrecognizable as a fish creature. That’s love for the art not the recognition

I never get tired of your Janeway impression 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Jeri Ryan, as Seven, has basically carried two Semi Decent Star Trek shows at this point. Also I'll take "true statements I never thought I'd say" for $200.

The alternate universe where Neelix vs Tuvok headlined an episode of WWF Smackdown would have been something to see.

“OK hologram boy, take stock of your own situation” is my favorite line is this.

At this point, I'm kinda hoping you do a retrospective on Voyager. I want more of your Janeway voice...and Neelix Abuse.

I remember seeing this episode being hyped on Smackdown. While everyone was excited to see The Rock of Voyager, I was enthusiastic to see Jeffery Combs back on Star Trek.

Gotta say, as someone from the UK who watched Voyager when it aired... One year we went on holiday to Disneyworld, and got our taste of the advertisements put out in the US for the show. I was a typical dumb teen at the time - and even then I was astounded by how overtly horny the adverts were . It was honestly kinda offputting and embarassing.

Two Treks in a week? That’s some late 90s era Star Trek release schedule!

That clip of "In the year 2000" really brought me back! Maybe my favorite Conan skit.

Jeri Ryan imitating the EMH is pretty amazing even though the specific episode is kinda icky.

Jeri Ryan really deserved some sort of special Emmy for what she managed to pull off on Voyager. I still don't think she's gotten the credit she deserves for salvaging what on paper was an absolute insult of a character. How they lucked out both with her casting and just in general with Seven, I still can't figure out. The same show that couldn't give most of the cast a compelling characterization in seven years managed to do it with her and, IMHO, pretty much only her and maybe the Doctor.

"Highest rated episode of the season" So it should have been Dwayne Johnson regenerating in that cargo bay in a catsuit and heels?

Smackdown + Voyager. Two ok tastes that taste ok together

As a long time fan of your content I feel confident in saying your Janeway voice might be the single greatest thing you've ever discovered. It's hard not for me to hear it in my head when remembering real episodes.

I feel the need to point out that Arena was also already the name of a 1989 movie with basically the same plot as Tsunkatse and starring future DS9 actors Marc Alaimo and Armin Shimerman.

The true underlying theme of Voyager is the constant battle between the people who were struggling to provide engaging content, and the people who seemed determined to remove all engaging content everywhere.

I watch this channel, Phelan, OSW Reviews, and listen to the Attitude Era Podcast. EVEN THOUGH it's obviously a rhetorical question, I can categorically state: yes. Yes, I remember when The Rock was on Star Trek Voyager.😁

I’m sure there are some people out there who would disagree with Tuvak not being a “battlestar babe”. XD

Anyone else really want Allison and SF Debris to collab on a Voyager episode some time?

I always watch these episodes and think “What would Tuvix have done?”

I agree about 7 of 9. At first I assumed that I only like the episodes that featured her because she was hot but eventually I realized her story of coming back to the human world after being a Borg since childhood was really compelling and in addition to being hot she’s also a good actress that is fun to watch. My favorite Voyager episode is the one that starts with Naomi Wildman following her around. Those two had great chemistry and it was funny without being too cutesy and then it got serious and really gave her a chance to act as she started taking on the personalities of various other members of the Borg. Another great part of that episode was when 7 takes on the Persona of a male Klingon and tries to initiate a mating ritual with B'Elanna Torres who was my second favorite character. At the time I had a lot of anger issues and I could really relate to Torres always struggling to keep her anger in control.

Surely “Battlestar Babe” would only work for an actress on Battlestar Galactica!?

I love how you and the SFDebris guy have basically the same insane Janeway. Same voice and everything.

The Rock still knows how to bring the smackdown, even in the furthest reaches of space.

When this episode came out I was already a huge fan of Voyager and wrestling so this crossover nearly blew my mind

Can you smell what Tuvok is cookin'?

I wasn't into Voyager but I could listen to Allison ripping it a new one for hours.

The only actor on Voyager who could compete with Jeri Ryan was Robert Picardo. She was almost always the best part of whatever scene she was in.

I don't think I ever saw that wrestling promo style ad for this episode. That just makes this episode even more silly.

I can only imagine the look on Jeri Ryan's face when she found out that she was going to be on the receiving end of The Rock Bottom.

I'm a huge startrek fan and I, as any healthy fan does, spend most of my time playfully criticizing the episodes. Your humor meshes very well. Glad I clicked.

Oh Allison, I'd give my weight in gold press latinum if you would do as many Star Trek videos as you do Bay Watch or Charmed.

Everytime the Rock slams 7of9… Picard goes “Hmmm…” 😏

You had me at Jeffrey Combs

Brilliant take on Voyager. I remember UPN hyping this up so much. I had no idea it was the highest rated episode of Season 6. Thanks for giving us your unique take. Please do more of these please!

Love your Trek content. I agree that Tuvok and Seven were a frequently effective pairing on the show. One highlight was in 'Year of Hell' when Tuvok gets blinded by a torpedo explosion and Seven has to help him with his daily duties.

I watched this as a kid and literally have no memory of the advertisements referring to Seven as a Battlestar Babe. I can't thank you enough for educating me. Also I really appreciate the humor you put in your reviews. I smile all the way through.

Voyager was the first Star Trek media I actually got into. When I was a kid my local movie theatre had a Voyager arcade game which I was never allowed to play because my mother was against things with shooting, but I was infatuated by the art on the sides of the machine. One summer by coincidence I caught part of a scene on TV that featured someone picking up a helmet to find it still contained the head of a decapitated Hirogen. That really stuck with me, so I did some research and found out that Voyager had both Hirogens and the character from the side of the arcade game I thought looked so cool (which was Seven of Nine). At that time I believe the show was on Netflix, and once school started again it became common for me to stay up watching it on my iPad late into the night despite having to go to school in the morning. At a certain point I realized a lot of the characters and plots were simply agitating, so I started using IMDB plot descriptions to skip around primarily to Seven of Nine centric episodes. As is remarked in this video, she was absolutely the strongest character and I felt very compelled by the internal struggles she dealt with. It's kinda sad for me looking back at this show I have such fond memories of and realizing how flawed and frankly dumb it was, but there are some great moments and it does have a special place in my heart, even if it's no longer my fav. P.S: I did eventually go back to that theatre when I was older and play the Voyager arcade game, it was like a rail shooter where you're defending Voyager from a Borg invasion using a phaser rifle.

You made something out of... next to nothing, I applaud that.

Fighting is bad actually says Chakotay the resistance fighter.

Janeway: It's me, Harry! It was me the whole time, Harry!

I always enjoy the parody song you sing in your manic episodes, its what I look forward to most in life!

I may be misremembering, but I don't think *any* of the Hirogen were given names in episodes they appeared in. "Hirogen Hunter" may have just not had a name. However, he eventually got a name (as did all the other Hirogen) when his CCG card was released, as Decipher (maker of the card game) had all names and lore approved by Paramount. This hunter's name is Hajur. The Rock's character never got a name. Even in the CCG he's called "The Pendari Champion" (and his card is an ultra-rare!)

Oh, this outro music is pretty good! It’s just one breakdown (and heavy distortion) away from being acid bass. Also, the main good thing I can say about this episode is I liked how Tuvok said “is the idea of dying more appealing than the idea of killing?”, all pragmatic-like. Even then, I still really like this one on rewatches. I like the crew interactions, I like Chakotay and B’Elanna talking about martial arts, I like Hertzler’s performance. It’s a basic plot structure but I like the ways they dressed it up.

I don't think I'll get tired of the rhyming and syllabically matched "gladiator fishing waders." What a wonderfully preposterous episode.

I recall prior to this The Rock guest starred on That 70s Show as his father, and he certainly did more to play to his strengths than whatever small scraps they gave him here.

I just LOVE your twittering voices for Harry and the others - super spot on! 😂

My boyfriend is a big Star Trek fan so I've been showing him your episode recaps. We both enjoy them immensely. Keep 'em coming!

I would very happily watch you roast each and every episode of this delightfully dumb show that I love so much 👍😆

i have never seen a full episode of star trek in my entire life. but i always look forward to these videos simply because the editing on this channel is fucking unparalleled. i laughed out loud like 5 times. 😂

First piece of yours I've seen earns my subscription, particularly for tongue-in-cheek take on a tongue-in-cheek episode, which are a staple of the canon.

Your Janeway impressions are incredible 😂

An episode where Neelix is working on super powering his stove, The Rock guest stars, and none of the characters asks if they smell what someone is cooking? God damn it.

In the Year 2000 is one of my favorite recurring bits of comedy ever. Used to set the VCR for Conan.

I think it would have been better if Dwayne played a rock based alien

I was not prepared for the Evanescence insert. It truly is the early 2000s again. Also, I feel like Janeway would’ve just used an MK fatality if she had been competing and I would’ve welcomed it.

You're wonderful. Every Star Trek video is like Xmas without neurotic family.

I always enjoy it when you dunk on Rick Berman

Voyager may be a whole lot of stupid but it's those little moments like this episodes ending, that really make the series for me.

I'm surprised you didn't bring on the OSW boys for this one

Voyagers own Thinking August proves that resistance is both futile and not futile, while getting the Rock bottom .

your star trek contest is quickly becoming my favorite stuff. Thank you.

I thought Allison was the real Battlestar Babe. She's awesome as always.

Cheers Allison. Great fun. The addition of The Rock in STV was probably the most monumental moment in History. The only way it could have been improved would have been to include Pet Rock on a Rocking chair. The producers must be kicking themselves when they read this. A missed opportunity in my book.

One promo photo shoot of Jeri Ryan as Seven Of Nine, her pose was mimicked with one of the semi memorable video game characters. And in a scene where she reprises her role as Seven in Star Trek Picard she almost looks like another memorable video game character

Tuvok did not fight in this episode talk about the elf that was left on the shelf

Love Janeway's slow, deliberate declaration. "Die, Seven.."

That shot of the crowd looks like the League of Nonaligned Worlds in Babylon 5

I live for the Janeway impression 🤣

Yay, I love your Star Trek videos 😊 Thank you for making this

While I liked the pilot, I just could never get into Voyager, the actual show but it is kind of neat to see the Rock go from wrestling, to a wrestling tie-in to acting. Which isn't something I'd have expected from these clips.

Not the Evanescence! I'm dying! lol

It's like watching Black Adam fight Seven of Nine. Pretty much exactly.

I can to this day vividly recall seeing the UPN promos for this episode of voyager as a kid. I also vividly remember the episode where Harry gets beaten up by a bunch of vampire women with sticks. Weird the things one can recall so completely from their childhood...

I remember a fun review with "the Rock's first line wasn't well delivered. I think having to speak in the first person is throwing him off."

Dwayne Johnson has boldly gone where no wrestler-turned-actor has gone before!

Solid retro Conan clip, great job. And it's great to see the rock enjoying his work and soo being a nerd. Such charisma

Just some days ago I was wondering about when you would come up with another brilliant episode. Thank you for reading my mind. :)

The timing here is insane. because I just watched that episode last night!

I really need to give Voyager another shot, I initially wrote it off after the 3rd episode, just did nothing for me. I recall this promo and even The Rock couldn't get me to waste time my time watching. Hell not even Jerri Ryan could get me to watch. But Allison's videos somehow make me feel I'm totally missing out on shlock TV gold.

Another amazing review!!

Seven's Borg Mary Poppins metaplot is pretty much the best bit of Trek character enrichment evar. So stupid on paper but it somehow works so brilliantly.

I love your use of the Rockbottom as a transition sequence

Ah yes, that time when Seven got beat up by the Rock in a fighting tournament ran by Weyoun and she had to fight General Martok.

Ooh, I hope you do Code of honor next.

BATTLESTAR BABE!?! BATTLESTAR BABE!?! BATTLESTAR. BABE!?! Are you freaking kidding me? To be fair I guess she does look kind of like a Cylon...From the reboot that wouldn't exist for a decade or so after Voyager went off the air!

Lol, I love the little loops that you do.

6:29 “They’re fucked” 😂

Love trek and love watching you rip on it. do every episode of 90s trek ever, thanks :D

Forget the Rock vs Seven of Nine, I think I speak for everyone when I say the real battle we deseeve is between Allison Pregler's evil gremlin Janeway and SF Debris' parody Janeway.

Great video. Loved the Smallville episode too. Naturally we need a review of the Smallville episode with guest stars Kane and Dave Bautista. An Allison\OSW Review video ? Take my money!!!!

An Allison star trek video "fun will now commence"

Love your manic episode series keep ‘em coming! Script and script what is script 😂😂😂
