Re: VOY Haters and Lovers Talk Here!

I think I've read every VOY book up to Endgame, except Pathways. I don't know how I missed it. I'll put it on my winter reading list.
Like I said I understand that B'Elanna was infatuated with Chakotay. But with the age gap and her past, it isn't a creepy thing, but it's not something that would last. I'm pretty sure Persistence of Vision was before Day of Honor.
Chakotay was never sexually attracted to B'Elanna. It just would have never worked out.
I admit Tom Paris is my ULTIMATE fantasy. He's my favorite trek character by far, and I am completely biased. But I also have great affection for all of VOY, and that's another reason why the P/T relationship, and the aborted J/C relationship is important to me.
I deny the C/7 because I still say it was the B's way of punishung Robert Beltran for fighting to make his character bi-sexual or gay. There was no build up and no chemistry.

As for why I am such a rabid P/Ter here's my post from the "greatest trek experience thread..."
It was 1997 and after 3 breathless seasons of cheering on the Federation Starship Voyager I was finally gonna have my moment. and were actually going to get together FOR REAL my one semi-trekkie sister had been tormenting me for the past 3 years saying "not gonna happen" but I held firm to the implacible faith that the moment would arrive. I had too, my entire emotional make up was depending on it to get me through the next 10 years...
You see I was a very sick and very angry young girl: Covered in surgical scars, and no self esteem and the only thing going for me was a brain that could have gotten me out of school before 18 had I been healthy. But what boy wants a girl covered in scars, possibly smarter than him, and well, a raging lunatic most of the time? Well wanted and yeah while it is TV it gave an 11 year old hope. Hope that maybe one day if I live long enough, a handsome funny guy won't care that I'm covered in scars, or smarter than him, or that I'm a raging lunatic. Maybe just maybe I could have a "helmboy" of my very own who wouldn't mind my "big scary klingon side."
Well I got it! Courtesy of Alelou's episode. Which I proceeded to tape and watch so many times the tape wore out. And lord did I crow to my sister about it, I drove her up the wall! And of course declared that there would now be a wedding and a baby. (I was gonna have it all!) And needless to say in 2001 my 15 year old self cried tears of joy when that Trek moment came true too.
As for my hope that "one day my Pilot will come" well... It hasn't worked out the way I had planned. The Sith detour almost killed the hope. But hey, I'm still alive. And I'm quite stubborn. And my "big scary Klingon side," my scars, and my brain haven't gone anywhere so... I'm still waiting.
