Welp, I just got computer error, and pushed the 'back' button on the browser and have lost my entire post.
A quick version
Got Voyager video 7.9
Workforce II good - but nothing was gained by these two episodes - how did the crew change or grow or learn? Nothing REALLY happened.
Human Error - one fantastic little gem! Didn't know anything about this episode. Jeri Ryan a fantastic actress - not just eye-candy (her and Robert Picardo and prollay Tim Russ are the best actors on Voyager.)
Loved the episode - I hope that stuff about seven - like her implant removals is continued - and not forgotten - that would be a real SHAME!
Really miffed about the PATHETIC internal VOYAGER continuity (they can't even get stuff with-in the show correct - infact within 2 episodes.)
Workforce Part 1. Neelix reveals Chuckles is a Vegetarian. two episodes later (holo-but based on the real thing) Chuckles is having dinner with seven - a ROAST. He has pot-ROASTS with Janeway nearly every week!
Don't they employ ANY continuity monitor on that show!?! Really really SLACK Voyager people.

Given the fact that Kathy-chan can't seem to even replicate a roast without burning it (thas' TALent, yo!), I'm sure those "weekly dinners" are the driving force behind his conversion to single-kingdom ingestion.

Doesn't Kathy-Chan translate roughly as "Sir Kathy"? That would screw up the little femenist bitch. She should die. Everyone should die. Rargh.

That would be "-san," not "-chan."

The "-chan" honorific is used by older people to address people younger than them (like their kids) or between really close individuals (like couples).

A Trek connection... what did Keiko call her Grandmother in that 'memory episode'... where she was taken back to her childhood where her grandmother was doing calligraphy?

So Shik either fancies Janeway, or he's older than her.
In either case, he really should be hunted down and killed.

Actually, truth be told, I've always felt that Kate Mulgrew is a rather attractive woman.
Anyway, about the vegetarian deal, would it really be that big a deal in the 24th century? Almost all of their food is replicated. Nothing actually comes from animals anymore. The pot roast may feel, taste, and smell like the genuine article, but it's really just reconstituted matter. The principle behind vegetarianism, that it's wrong to eat animals, wouldn't apply to Chakotay if he's eating replicated meals on the ship.
On the other hand, if he were to be stranded on a planet without a replicator, maybe then his vegetarianism would force him to forage rather than hunt.

Gesundheit. Now which publication was it that claimed that this was the name of the said grandmother? It was some officious and semi-official source that promoted the error - the Fact Files, perhaps.
Chuckles could be vegetarian whenever he's in a primitive environment of questionable hygiene(the "Unity" planet, the mess hall, etc) because he knows that primitively prepared meat is far more likely to contain dangerous bacteria, virii or parasites than primitively prepared vegetables. With the latter, he might be more likely to run into dangerous toxins, though, since those are a more typical defence mechanism for plants than for animals.
