Talk:Valiant (episode)

Contents 1 Episode talk page 1.1 Maintenance links 2 Voyager Mess Hall Set?

I think we've had this discussion before, but I think this page should be "Valiant", as most all the pages that link there refer to this page anyway. Other the qualifiers of the SS Valiant and USS Valiant are not compatable with the qualifier used here, therefore not requiring the qualifier used here. --Alan del Beccio 09:10, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

Could someone program one of those robot things to help change the links from Valiant (episode) to its new name? -- When it rains... it pours 15:33, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

I almost didn't discover this, changing now ... please direct bot requests on Bot requests or my talk page, though you don't need to start a new paragraph there ... -- Kobi 18:13, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Is it just me, or is Nog promoted to Lt. Cmdr. yet wearing Lt. JG pins for his entire stay on the Valiant? hobmcd 00.29, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

"The failed attack run the Valiant attempts on the Jem'Hadar battleship has similarities to the attack run on the Death Star by Red and Gold Squadrons in Star Wars A New Hope. Both involve out-matched protagonists attempting to take down a much larger target by coming in very close, launching torpedoes, and blowing up the target by exploiting a key weakness. However, the results from both occurrences are quite different."

Isn't this storyline closer to many other famous stories, such as Moby Dick? A captain chasing a monstrous beast, using his drive to keep the crew going, with key protagonists objecting to his single-mindedness? The Star Wars similarity just seems like a very loose connection (a single ship versus an attack wing, an enemy ship vs an entire fortress, and entirely opposite outcomes) Ranger Bill XX 05:57, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

I think the other Star Wars comparison was supposed to be the torpedo attack on a single vulnerable point (in Star Wars it was the ventilation shaft with the proton torpedoes). The same cannot be said of Moby Dick. Still, the Captain's single mindedness is certainly reminiscent of Moby Dick. --OuroborosCobra ^talk 06:17, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Voyager Mess Hall Set?

The following background note was recently added:

• The set for the peptalk scene in which Watters rallies the crew to destroy the warship before going home is a redress of the mess hall set from Voyager.

From my watching of the episode, it appeared to be the standard Defiant mess hall set, and rather different from Voyager's. – Cleanse 05:30, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
