This Day in Trek
Star Trek: Voyager
Resolutions Season Two, Episode Twenty-Five (X)
Original Air Date: May 13, 1996
“I’m not sure I can ‘define parameters’. But I can tell you a story,
an ancient legend among my people. It’s about an angry warrior who lived
his life in conflict with the rest of his tribe. A man who couldn’t
find peace, even with the help of his spirit guide. For years he
struggled with his discontent. The only satisfaction he ever got came
when he was in battle. This made him a hero among his tribe, but the
warrior still longed for peace within himself. One day, he and his war
party were captured by a neighboring tribe led by a woman warrior. She
called on him to join her because her tribe was too small and weak to
defend itself from all its enemies. The woman warrior was brave, and
beautiful. And very wise. The angry warrior swore to himself that he
would stay by her side, doing whatever he could to make her burden
lighter. From that point on, her needs would come first. And in that
way, the warrior began to know the true meaning of peace. ”
“Is that really an ancient legend?”
“No… but that made it easier to say.”HOT DAMN. It’s Resolutions-Day.
That episodes still kills me. Every single time I watch it. And God knows I watch it often enough. How can two people so perfect for each other be tortured like this? That last shot on the bridge tears my heart out.
The only reason I can handle it is because I accept the books as 100% canon and refuse any other opinion on the matter.
I didn’t realize today is Resolutions Day! Wow. My favorite ship and the ship that introduced me to so many online friends around the world. Happy Resolutions Day J/Cers!
