  • Observations and thoughts as I watched (initially posted at the other place):

    • We begin with "Twovix".

    • Holodeck waste material, AKA jizz, poop, and god knows what else.

    • Oh, hey, T'Lyn!

    • DAT VOYAGER THEME!

    • Oh, hey, the probe from the one with the whales!

    • Neelix cheese!

    • Shit did get freaky.

    • Oh shit, they're going to Tuvix Billups and T'ana!

    • "Janeway straight-up murdered Tuvix."

    • MACROVIRUS.

    • The Pike Thing, of course.

    • "Back in the 70s"

    • "Captain, I caution against socializing with the organism."

    • So many VOY deep cuts.

    • "Holy shit. Janeway didn't mess around."

    • Macrovirus of Borg. And robotic warp salamander of Borg.

    • "Water, room temperature."

    • This is definitely T'Ana's side of T'Llups.

    • Oh god, they tuvixed the Matt the whale! Wait, what about Kimolu? Is he alright? Is he okay?

    • A Tuvixy meatball!

    • Heh, the real solution to the Tuvix conundrum was just to keep merging until it's a nonsentient blob of meat so there is no murder, so to speak.

    • Oh god I just realized that we're going to get so much Tuvixy fanart.

    • Bizarre series of Voyager-themed obstacles.

    • SHE GOT A PIP

    • Beckett Mariner receives the fate worse than death for her: promotion.

    • Nothing ever good happens "somewhere in Klingon space"

    • RIP Klingon lower-deckers.

    And now, episode 2:

    • Heh, Romulan lower decks.

    • Goodbye, Romulan lower deckers!

    • Heh, those 80s workout stuff.

    • Oh, cool, Boimler still has his Tom Paris tplate!

    • Please tell me Denty has a Memory Alpha page.

    • The Nacelle is right there!

    • Non-botanicals

    • I have just met Moopsy but I would die for it.

    • Oddly enough, this is the SECOND time this year that a Jack Quaid character looked at a VERY bright light. Shoutout to my boy Richard Feynman, the one man crazy enough to watch a nuclear test without goggles.

    • Okay, I would no longer die for the moopsy.

    • Tucker Tubes! Good old Trip got stuff named for him!

    • The Ad Astra Per Aspera poster!

    • I do feel like Starfleet would have better soundproofing, but then again this is the Cerritos.

    • RIP corn guy.

    • LIVIK!

    • Aww, D'Vana Tendi giving orders.

    • Teeth as bread crumbs.

    • Heh, the humans really are the worst.

    • Hah, he could have just used the viewports.

    • Overall, I think I liked this second episode more, even though I loved the VOY fan service.
