It just occured to me, here at the end of season 1... This recap is one guy that saw all the episodes and has large miconceptions about the entire series. One guy that's seen just a bit of the show but generally gets things right more than the first guy... and one guy that's new and thinks everyone wants to fuck 100% of the time, and pitches a better show than Picard turned out to be.

Neelix is such a bad cook, he believes that "the hotter it gets, the faster it cooks". He also almost destroyed Voyager because he wanted to make cheese. In other episode there was scene with multiple crew members suffering from epic heartburn from his cooking...

Later she is pointing him out and rushing after him because she re-grew her kidneys.

In the "Orville" (which is basically homage and reimagination of Star Trek without copyright) there is an explanation of their prime directive that actually shows the bad results of sharing the technology with "primitive" worlds. They show this alien girl a planet humans visited in early days of exploration. It was "early XXI century" level of development. So they gave them replicators and fusion reactors for free. Then they show that girl the results 5 years later: a desert with red sky. Instead of sharing and using the technology they fought over it, and over the profits from it causing complete extinction in the end. Thus they don't share the technology unless civilization already develops it. A great example of "show, don't launch a Picard speech on innocent people"...

The key to quitting smoking is to say you "stopped" because you decided you don't to want to smoke. This way you're never bound to this notion of "quitting" so you can't "fail" at it, you just stopped, if you start again, you can just stop again, no big deal. That worked for me, I stopped smoking and haven't smoked again except maybe 2-3 cigars for special occasions like a bachelor party etc since.

The reason the Federation doesn't have cloaking is because developing it would violate the treaty of Algeron which ended the war between the Federation and the Romulan empire.

i think the reason people don't like replicated food is because it's an exact copy of the preset program they scanned from the original version of the meal, for example when we eat a burger its the first time every time we ate that burger and no two burgers are the same every meal will be unique no matter if it was made the same way the ingredients are original, but replicated food is the exact same every time without any differences it would be like eating something you already ate as if you never finished it in the first place, and in the new animated series they address that buy having a special replicator that has multiple scans of the same meal like quarks drink option 1 or quarks drink option 2 from what i understood

Replicated food is supposed to be good, but it does taste noticeably different from handmade food, at least partly because it's always exactly the same, whereas there are always little variations and personal touches in the real deal. Also, by default, different ships and even different ranks within the same ship are shown to sometimes have access to different menus, meaning that it's not like every replicator can literally just give you whatever you want (again, without modification, anyway). No matter how good the food is, people are going to get sick of eating from the same menu everyday.

Replicator food isn't terrible... Nelix is the only one on Voyager that says that to justify HIS OWN existence on the crew. Additionally, there are replicator rations during certain points In the show... so people that wince at Nelix's cooking in favor of the replicators end up having to go to him anyways.

Regarding the need to replicate trees, the Enterprise has a botany lab, so there are real living trees on board. They wouldn't have needed to replicate them. But otherwise, the replicator conversation was basically there. When they're done with their dishes, they put them back in the replicator, and it's dematerialized the same way it appeared. The replicator technology has in-universe similarities to the transporter. The transporter converts matter into energy, then rematerializes it exactly the same somewhere else. The replicator just uses pre-programmed recipes to materialize objects on a molecular level, and it dematerializes waste into energy. The idea behind the use of a cook in Voyager is that the replicator takes a lot of energy, so in order to prolong the life of the irreplaceable dilithium crystals in their engine, they ration its use. All of this is BS Star Trek science, of course, but it's decently consistent.

It's pretty clear to me that they were planning on having these 1980s contemporary humans stick around on the enterprise for at least the next season, probably to give the viewers characters they could more easily relate to. There is no other reason to introduce them in the season finale and to not drop them off by the end. I'm glad they ultimately decided against it. But that's why this feels so out of place.

The Federation could easily develop cloaking technology in fact you'll learn later on that years ago in the series they tried to make an even better cloak in secret. But they are officially prohibited from developing cloaking technology by the Treaty of Algernon which has kept a tense peace between the Federation and the Romulans

I get the parallels of cowboy bebop and firefly but besides being the same genre (space cowboys that focus on the "bad guys") I don't see that much in common. That is a lot of course since it's a relatively small genre but still doesn't seem enough to say it's just copied.

I understand Marvin's view that this episode is weaker than the one before it ("Conspiracy"), but I don't get the extra weight that he puts on it being the season finale (saying that he would have been less harsh in rating it if it wasn't the finale). If streaming and blu rays didn't exist and the show was only allowed to be broadcast in the seasonal format in syndication, then that extra weight would make sense to me, but the only time that the finale thing really matters is during the initial broadcast, right? With streaming/blurays/syndication, this episode is no more distant from s02e01 than it is from s01e25. In the same way, "Best of Both Worlds" is now just a really good two parter--it was even released as its own cut-together mega episode on blu-ray, if I recall right, erasing the seasonal gap. I'm not saying Marvin is wrong, since it's all subjective, just that I don't understand his reasoning. That aside, keep up the podcast and the KZitem episodes, you guys are awesome and may be the tipping point for me to give KZitem money to remove those bloody commercials...
