Description
I was bored, and in a Trekkie mood. So I did this.I've heard that Voyager was often critiqued for its extreme amount of technobabble, but, being my first experience with Star Trek, I was actually surprised at the extreme LACK of technobabble in Next Generation. Not that I mind. I never have any idea what they're talking about anyway. (I know, I'm a lousy science officer. XD)
I doubt Picard's ever told the Space-Witch to shut up, but I'm sure he's always thinking it. And I agree.
I know the Voyager technobabble makes no sense. It wasn't supposed to. I found this wonderful generator online that I used to come up with it all. [link]
Star Trek is (c) to Paramount and Roddenberry's living relatives.

Ha, I liked it.
Though I would of thought that Picard would say something along the lines of, "I thought I told you to fix it. Not cry over the ship's intercom."

Personally, I liked the techobabble in Voyager. I actually, and this is how sad my mind works, understood what they said and what they intended to do. Its really weird. Something tells me I come from that time, but was send here to this time unknowingly. XD

"Space-Witch" XD Poor Deanna Troi! At least Nyota Uhura's role was delegated to simply "hailing frequencies open, Captain", which, while still not helping feminism any, is less annoying to some people.

this is why Janeway is the BEST captain EVER
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Janeway's technobabble was probably cause she used to be a science officer. I'm pretty sure Picard has always been a command officer.
I love both series (though TNG a little more) and this was pretty funny =]

I do not remember that episode (which means I need to go on a TNG marathon)
so I guess Janeway was just a bigger geek

No, Picard was a science officer at first (rememebr the episode Tapestry)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm pretty sure Picard was always on the command track, as he references his old piloting skills several times throughout the series. In the episode Tapestry, Q let Picard change his past, resulting in him chosing the science track, playing it safe instead of ambitiously working his way up the ranks. In the end, (spoilers) Picard asked Q for his old past back, keeping history the way it was and Picard on his way to becoming the captain we all know and love.

He started as a science officer: science officers can also become captains. It's just that he didn't play it safe, and that's what made him climb the ranks

The babble sounds right to me! I always liked the technobabble... Voyager is my fav series, so I guess I understood more of it than not... (just don't ask me to do any of it!)

You could have taken it one step further and did one with Kirk. The maintenance guy would call in with an issue, and in the second panel Kirk is seen in engineering knocking dude out... XD

did you know that theres a book that takes place just before picard becomes captain of the enterprise, it says that janeway was actually his first pick as his first officer

Ahahahaha I love them both for each of these reasons!

I read a book called The Trekkers' Guide to Voyager, and in it there was a list called, "50 reasons why Janeway is better than Picard". RIOT!!! there was also a list of the technobabble from the first season ALONE. oooh, what a LOOOOOOOOOOONG list. even being such a big Star Trek fan, I couldn't read the whole list!

This is really funny! Good job! I LOVED Voyager. I thought all the different ST series were good in their own way.
My only complaint is that no one would address their captain by calling her Miss. It's disrespectful.

Not that you meant it that way! LOL. I'm sure it's just an oversight.

I too find TNG a bit slow. VOY was the first Star Trek I saw so maybe thats why I like it. But I feel VOY has deeper characthers and a greater story arc. But still, Picard for President.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
TNG wasn't about trying to look smart by saying a whole bunch of crap that no one else can understand. It was about diplomacy, and when that didn't work...layeth the smacketh down on some candy ass bitchez. The line must be drawn here!

way too true!
but you gotta admit, the technobabble in voyager made it sound like they at least put some effort into making it XD

This was funny, mostly because I imagined Picard and Troi's accents in the first pannel.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
It's funny because it's TRUE! And I'm assuming the Space-Witch is Troi?
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
ah, its so true...
i like voyager as much as i like any other star trek, but the technobabble on the show is sometimes ridiculous, as you have just pointed out.
TNG FTW!

I understood all of Next Gen's technobabble.
I understood NONE of Voyagers therefore their science is apparently FAKE O__o!
not that I mind, I love all startrek! It just bugged me when got in the way of character development. That everything that went wrong wasnt about a plot O__O just random alien #254 trying to kill them for breaking thier laws or distortion field #809 burns all living tissue and they cant go around it.

This....seriously....rocks.....hardcore....
and it's so true. Although, Voyager was always my favorite BECAUSE of the technobabble.....I love big words...

I always liked the technobabble. it makes it more realistic.

I forget the name of the episode, but on Next Gen, theres this one episode where the ship is going through a sweep of energy that will KILL anything living that gets in the way. Picard goes back to get his saddle (All true riders have there own saddle) and finds that there are thieves on board stealing anti matter.
One of these thieves, while not Tuvok from Voyager, is the SAME actor, and is also a vulcan in this setting too. >D Look for him!

I must be crazyies, but the technobabble made perfect crystal clear sense!

hilarious!! I ersonally adore Voyager and only ever watch TNG if it includes a Q....(Voyager has a pathetic 3 episodes with Q

Brilliant. Picard doesn't care how it works - he just wants it to work at 110% at all times. Especially his replicator
