as sad of a show as voyager is, what with this entire crew being stranded from everything they ever knew and loved for potentially the rest of their lives, with clinging to eachother for hope in a flying tin-can through space as the only thing they can really do, with the horrible, abysmal, lonely hopeless feeling the show invokes in it’s best episodes, it’s still so much less lonely than we real humans are i think!
cause these people arent *alone* in the delta quadrant, not really! there are so many planets brimming with life- post and pre-warp. how lucky they are to keep their passions alight with so many alien diplomatic struggles and technological innovations! i’ve always loved how star trek has this bottom line- sure, they’re lost in space and tired and alone, but they’re never *really* alone. Sure, they’re pushed to the edge more times than they can count, facing death more times than they thought possible, but they still have their spirit. they still have their respect for other living things, and the uniquely human skill of haphazardly shuffling things around until it all works out.
It’s nice to watch star trek and live in a universe where we aren’t trapped on our tiny planet, gnawing off our societal and economical limbs like a caged wild animal. To think that the smartest and most capable of us spend all their time shouting into the stars “Hello? Is anyone there?” is so sweet and sad it makes me cry. It must be a universal experience as humans to look up into sky and try to find the stars peeking through the light pollution and to wonder if there’s more.
Really, the thought that if we as a species were just a little bit smarter, a little bit kinder, and a little bit luckier, we could be romping through the stars with our curiosity unrestrained and our knack for making unlikely friends in full-force is just a kind enough thought that lets me sleep at night.
