Alliances. Telegram! You have been invited to the event of the Season hosted by the Queen of Diplomacy, Katherine Janeway! Join Liam and Suzanne see just how many Jane-ways they can give out in one episode.
What to expect from episode 34. My Fair Kazon?
Liam and Suzanne talk about season 2 episode, Alliances. This is an episode where we finally get introduced to an alien species that we SHOULD have been introduced to in season 1, the Trabe. The original oppressors of the Kazon before the Kazon broke free, Janeway has to decide whether she wants to make an alliance with the Kazon or the Trabe. In standard Janeway fashion, however, she decides she wants it all and tries to broker peace between them.
Intro
Both hosts are very sick but have managed to pull through and edited out most of the coughing. Liam has moved to Brisbane, Suzanne is still Suzanne, and we talk about Star Trek: Discovery and Star Trek: Prodigy quickly.
Tangents
Boy did we go on some tangents. Including Suzuanne’s previous job. You will need to listen to find out what that beauty is. We make mention of the Olympics and the sexy Tongan flag bearer. Listeners should note that this was recorded before the devastating eruption of Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai and resulting tsunami.
MUH PRINCIPLEZ
Is it really an episode of Voyager without Janeway needing to stick to, and gets offended by someone questioning, her principles? Nope! Although realistically Chakotay wasn’t incorrect here.
The right way, the wrong way, or the Jane-way?
Just how many Jane way decisions can be fit into this episode? We can tell you that we classified 14 overall decisions in this episode, but just how many of them were a Janeway? Was seeking an alliance with the Trabe the right way? Was waiting 2 hours to pick up a naked mole rat the wrong way? Was literally everything in this episode a Janeway? Have a listen to find out.
