Was he with Voyager first season? And did he jump ship (or get the axe) pretty much around the same time? Because that would explain why Voyager started out OK, and then quickly started sucking as any inter-personal confrontations got swept under the rug of warm-fuzzies and temporal distortions.

He didn't join until the second or third season of Voyager, because there was overlap between the end of DS9 and the start of Voyager. Remember, both shows had tribute episodes to TOS for the 30th anniversary of Star Trek. DS9 came up with the outstanding "Trials and Tribbilations", while Voyager came up with the epsiode that flash-backed to Captain Sulu and his ship Excelsior, although the episode was entirely in Tuvok's mind.

I loved Trials and Tribbilations. I think I even bought the novelisation of it.

So Ron Moore and Robert Wolfe both worked on DS9, Wolfe went on to Andromeda, Moore went on to Voyager, and neither had a very good experience? Okay.

Just ... Jack. I dunno. I can't get myself there. Which is fine. Enjoyed the read anyway.

Well, yeah. Although the last few scenes in Meridian kinda get me there, at least enough to buy it for something as well-written as Reveille. Much of the rest, not so much.

If you like the plotty stuff, JenP, Rheanna has a couple of kickass stories on her site: good characterizations and creative concepts.

There's a J/D story that spins off Shades Of Grey -- it was recced on this board, but I don't remember the title. I thought it slashed quite well.

If Shades of Gray is the one where Jack is undercover, you're probably thinking of Anna S.

A Globe & Mail story about the filming of Paul Gross's next big project, H2O, a Canadian political thriller-miniseries. Leslie Hope plays his wife....

Just ... Jack. I dunno

I have this problem too. Doesn't stop me from reading, but it is a stumbling block to writing.

still thrilled the most with friendshippy & plotty gen with good team interactions and the subtext remaining squarely sub, but that's just me.

I think this may be me, too, at the moment, but I can get behind it for good writing, plotting, etc. Thanks for the recs, all. I'm going to check out some more of this here fanfic stuff.

Also checked out the vids. That may become a fun new semi-obsession. "Uninvited" was eerie.

They don't get much better than "Uninvited", JenP.

Although if you're getting into Farscape, Tazey makes just about the best vids around. I particularly adore "Right Here, Right Now".

I'm going to check out some more of this here fanfic stuff.

And I assume you know about PolyRecs and Bright Shiny Objects and Crack_Van, right? All multi-fandom recs sites, the first of which is Shrift and Dana's, and thus completely reliable. BSO is also good, if less comprehensive. Crack_Van is somewhat less reliable, but updated daily.

I can see where that would be true ("Uninvited"). I think the first one I saw was one of the Puppet!Angel ones, which, funny, though a completely different vibe. They're cool. If I were at all technically adept, I could see creating them becoming a huuuuuuuge time suck. I'll settle for the timesuck of finding good ones. Ooh, Farscape vids.

I actually didn't know of those fic rec sites, so, again, thanks.
