Barclay's Triumph: Star Trek Voyager

[LobOverTheBackhand]

"Keep a docking bay open for us...". Wow! I tear up every time!!

[Aileil]

Barclay is, in my opinion, the most amazing character in all of Star Trek. No other character had to overcome what he did. And through all of his problems, throughout all of his life, he has brought hope to many and shown that 'that guy' down in engineering is significant after all.

[DarkMalfunction]

This is why I like voyager best of all the trek series. It gives you that fuzzy warm feeling that other series don't give you :)

[mainmandave]

Barclay kicked some major ass in this episode but it makes me wonder what would have happened to him if Voyager did NOT respond...

[darthhaxor]

Trust the MIDAS touch!!! xD

[LobOverTheBackhand]

This episode makes me cry every time. Every. Time. But with tears of joy and relief for the crew.

[darthroden]

Okay why is Reg still a Lieutenant? I mean after this you think they'd of promoted him?!

[kaldemvor]

Dwight Schultz again does a stellar job as Lt. Reginald Barclay. He was also phenomenal as Murdock on "The A-Team." Dwight Schultz is, in my opinion, one of the most underrated actors of all time and one of the best.

[Jamescs007]

besides Voyager how many starships of the class voyager is exsist

[AnteyPL]

@Jamescs007

In canon, only two was referenced (inderectly USS Intrepid - pathfinder unit for entire class) and USS Belerrophon (in DS9).

[Jamescs007]

what is the name of this Episode

[englundus]

@Jamescs007 its called "Pathfinder". It is Episode 10 of Season 6.

Anyone have it out there, and can post it, please? I'd love to see it in its entirety!

[hjberg71]

This is one of my most favorite STV episodes, next to Message in a Bottle.

[thisisrumorcontrol]

I read somewhere when Kate Mulgrew said the line about keeping the docking bay open for them, she was very emotional when filming that scene so she was really trying to hold back the tears and stay in character the whole time.

[thisisrumorcontrol]

I wish I had seen this episode when it premiered for the first time, it would have been a very emotional episode to see especially these last 10 minutes.

[tsunamaisurfer606]

Was this guy on the a team

[montgomery1971]

Don't they have privacy in the 24th century. The doctor should not have been discussing barclay's medical history in front of the crew.

[Luciferminusone]

@montgomery1971 Privacy rights in the future? You've got to be kidding me! You don't have ANY rights in the future unless of course you are special to the government but if you are not then let's not even start as it ain't pretty.

This is an attempt to make communists look positive when in reality communisum is a form of big business on a political scale no matter how nice it LOOKS on paper or whatever they use int he future.

note: I LOVE this show!

[NethDugan]

I always loved Barclay, I really did. Dwight did fantastic in the role, and even though he wasn't in Trek much I always remembered him and smiled a heck of a lot when he turned up again. And it was nice to see him start to grow and allow himself to go forth more. Kinda gives me hope for my future.

I swear though, when I first saw Dwight in A-Team I was shocked as anything and he's so different there! Just shows that he's a good actor.

[racookster]

It's funny: not everything from TNG and Voyager has held up all that well over the years, but Barclay is actually improved by knowing his entire character arc. I found him irritating at first, but now I think he's one of the best characters ever created for Star Trek.

[Nautilus1972]

Janeway: At ease, seven, I'm going to throw your legs over my shoulders and wear you like a horse's feedbag ... 

[ronnygk]

Ah noo!! Too bad you cut out the chase in the Holodeck lol.

[TalkerOne]

@ronnygk There is no escaping the 10 minute limit :(

[orinoco999]

@TalkerOne It's the best part! :-(

[jgkloosterman]

Why would Reg. Barclay's medical file be on Voyager? It wouldn't have been sent with the updates and there's no reason that every ship would have the medical history of every Starfleet officer. It'd be a waste of computer space.

[86koza86]

@jgkloosterman Having the file is not so ridiculous as the Doc spilling it to the entire crew!

[Nautilus1972]

@jgkloosterman They just might have bigger hard drives in the future ;o)

[Draknfyre]

@jgkloosterman

Each ship contains a record of every Starfleet officer at the time of it's launch, every book ever written that still survived to the 24th century (the TNG crew was able to pull up a cheap, third-rate novel from early 21st century), all musical recordings that still survived, and more.

The data storage capacity of Star Trek computers is massive.

If you had told someone 40 years ago your hard drive was 1TB, they would have laughed at you. The very first hard drive was 5MB.

[TheLackofattack]

@Draknfyre Frankly, for every book, musical piece, and even every video and movie ever made, it would be astonishing amount of data, but not impossible, and it wouldn't even take up much physical space.

[refuckulate420]

I love Barclay he's an excellent character.

[oldbluescott]

Barclay was as good as ever in these episodes, but I wish that he had been used more in the TNG movies. He would have made an interesting outsider protagonist, and he'd definitely have been nicer than the berserk Movie Picard.

[orphand11]

Shultz

10/10



[redpillow100]

the best oneb was where he became smart.

[TheReinholdandvina]

thank woopy goldberg for this wonderful caracter bringing to star trek .

[cantecleer]

-- There were aspects of Voyager that I disliked and sometimes it let me down, but these episodes were WONDERFUL and really made me love it. Barclay is such a special character and he really grounded me in this series more than I thought I would be. Given his holo-addiction and shyness, it makes perfect sense that somebody with his experiences would understand how lonely and hopeless Voyager's situation must be for those so far from home. Very special writing...

[TalkerOne]

@cantecleer well said!

[billschoe43]

@TalkerOne I agree! Well said!

[88davey]

one of the best episodes ever! makes you believe in miracles!

[farmerne]

I missed this episode. This is the first time I have seen Barclay's character since he was last on STNG. Thanks for posting!

[GraceSpringHill]

I am disappointed in the Doctor. He should not be sharing confidential medical information with the others. That is a horrible breach of confidentiality.......and unprofessional!

[Trek001]

He is not revealing anything confidental. If someone was to look in the computer - then you would be able to find the infomation

[GraceSpringHill]

I wold hate to think such things as addictions and other psychological disorders would be in the public domain and available for anyone to see. So much for privacy....

[Trek001]

All you would have to do is call up the mission logs for the Enterprise. Picard also made an order for any of Barcley's programs to be exaimined. The order would also be in the ships log. Besides... what is Janeway going to do? Confine the Doctor to quarters?

[GraceSpringHill]

Would you like for your employer to make such information available for every member of the company to see about you? The Doctor should respect privacy, and the "employer," which is the Federation, should, too. Who cares? It is all fiction anyway!

[Darthbelal]

In his own way, Dwight Shultz is every bit as good an actor as Patrick Stewart. It's too bad they couldn't fit him in more often in Start Trek TNG or in the Voyager series.

[ReverendSyn]

To me Reg embodies Roddenberry's vision of man overcoming his limitations and reaching a higher ideal.

A man of steel with feet of clay.

[gamerlegend]

dwight shultz is an absolute star along with gene roddenberry and rick berman

[horsxnu]

this episode is called "Pathfinder"

[LuvvvHannibal]

Does someone know what episode this is?

Tanks!

[StarTrekManiac2]

ive just finished watching that episode a minute ago, and thought about favouriting the triumph. Thanks and thanks to Reginald Barclay for his saving of Voyager.

:`-(

[Ruhnald]

Barclay becomes Chief Engineer of the Enterprise in the future.

[CaptHowlinMadMurdock]

Barclay is such an amazing character, some of Dwights best performances! Thanks for uploading this, Liz

[ReverendSyn]

Reg got more character development in his few Voyager eps than most of the regular cast

[AnteyPL]

@CaptHowlinMadMurdock

He trained a lot as brilliant Murdock of the A-Team... :D
