Bride of Chaotica was good

Flashback was great but Janice Rand must have had traumatic flashbacks when Janeway knocked her out and ripped her clothes off.
 
There are episodes of Voyager (and Enterprise) I'll probably never watch for a second tme.

I'd probably watch Bride if it was on and I coudln't move, but I probably wouldn't care much if I never saw it again.
 
Bride of Chaotica was a tribute to the kind of hokey, embarrassing scifi I like to pretend doesn't exist. But it seems some of the writers loved it, so Tom Paris did too. There should've been an episode where Picard came and bitchslapped Tom Paris with a copy of the complete works of Shakespeare. "THIS is storytelling, you cretin!"
 
Pathfinder was when Reg goes nuts in the holodeck trying to get the communications relay set up to talk to Voyager, and manages to get it going just in time, before he is hauled off and court-martialed. Troi visits to keep him off the ledge.

As to the old serials that Chaotica spoofs, the main one it emulates is Flash Gordon with Buster Crabbe, which I loved, and have on DVD. But I don't love many other ones the same way.
 
I used to watch them when I was a kid, used to annoy me even then though, when the end of a show used to have something like a spaceship flying through two rock doors that are closing, then it gets caught in the middle and explodes, then the next episode starts with them going straight through and the doors missing completely!

I mean! Dude! Seriously?

I was just a little kid but I can remember what happens from one day to the next!
 
They used to show one of those shows in the 6pm scifi slot on BBC2 in the 90s and I remember the same thing. Not sure what show it was exactly, but it had the same annoying cliffhangers that you describe.
 
Oh yeah, Pathfinder was probably good then. Maybe.

But not that one with all the EMHs working as miners or whatever. Fuck that.
