So as I was driving back home from work my iPod cues the Star Trek: Voyager theme followed by the Ulysses 31 theme.

So it occurs to me if Voyager would actually work better if it was written following the template of The Odyssey as they did on Ulysses 31.

Any thoughts?

We can leave the pain and the damage in our wake, unattended, or we can do the work of acknowledging and fixing, to whatever extent possible, the harm that we have caused.”

Never closely followed Voyager, so I can't say much about this idea -- except that The Odyssey as SF has been done in a book, Cross the Stars by David Drake.  Well, there'd also be the question of wiping out Janeway's whole crew the way Odysseus lost all his sailors....

"Amusing" is putting it far too mildly.  Fortunately, I learned from the errors of others and never have my mouth full while looking at the screen.Thanks.

Good I read your warning DHBirr, else I would have needed a new keyboard.

I played a character like that in a BESM game years ago, so that's only a 1 on my WTF scale.

I used to post on alt.Devilbunnies, which had Humanoid mecha piloted by Small/cute furry critters.  What weirds me on that is that the Enemy Otsu (Girl mecha?) is piloted by what appears to be a white rabbit with Glowing red Eyes.  We had a No-Combat Treaty with the Squirrels in Japan. 
Also, Brushing "Teeth" with a Mouthful of Squirrel? and a gun?  What are they using? Gun oil!
