Doc & Seven Singing you are my sunshine- Star Trek voyager

Doctor giving Seven singing lessons in startrek voyager - you are my sunshine

[@StillJustDreaming]

The Doctor was such a good friend to Seven - he really tried to help her fit in with the crew, and even used his own mistakes to help guide her.

[@TheWhaleDan]

This scene completely caught me by surprise while watching this series. I absolutely love the series as a whole, but the moments of humanity and culture,like this one, I will never forget.

[@conundrum2501]

I was thinking the same thing. Especially considering the two characters are a computer and a cyborg.

[@CeltycSparrow]

she has a beautiful singing voice. They both do.

[@Cosmo-Kramer]

Yeah, but is it Jeri? Looks like she's lip-synching.

[@jeroen92]

@@Cosmo-Kramer they are both lip-syncing, but they are also both the ones singing, they recorded it in a proper sound studio!

[@Cosmo-Kramer]

@@jeroen92 Yes, that makes perfect sense. Especially now that I've seen the pair perform the song live, and know that it is indeed Jeri's real voice. Look up their reunion panel to see them sing it live!

[@DoctorOctobussy]

I feel like when the Doctor stops singing and looks at Seven, he's just realised how much he loves her. Like in that moment of realisation it completely stops him in his tracks

[@111Chance]

+the noise Funny, I was thinking the same thing.

[@AndreSchachtner]

+the noise well, that IS what's happening in this scene :) It's too bad it didn't work out in the end

[@DoctorOctobussy]

[@OhManTFE]

[@tankwfw]

Its actually an incredibly deep scene. It perfectly represents the moment when one realizes's one's own limitations

[@ambigroove]

7 of 9 LIkes: Efficiency. Regenerating. Dislikes: Irrelevant conversation. Looks for in a potential mate: Perfection.

[@ShymoonofCloudclan]

This is probably one of my favorite moments in Star Trek

[@ChiroVette]

Mine as well. I love it when the Doctor stops singing in unison and starts singing a harmony.Incredibly touching moment and their voices also sound awesome together.

[@Lavender_Paws238]

[@ramonster163]

I've seen this episode so many times and I still get goosebumps when the doctor starts to harmonize.

[@imyouandurme]

I was just watching this on Netflix last night. A charming scene. This is why I love Star Trek. You couldn't get away with something like this in a Star Wars movie. Don't get me wrong, my inner child still loves Star Wars. But Star Wars takes itself too seriously. Star Trek (GOOD Star Trek that is) knows what it is: a hokey daytime sci-fi serial. While much of Star Trek is ambitious and epic, I much prefer the lighter, softer side of Star Trek, where the characters sit around the poker table razzing one another, or Quark complains about federation policy hindering his profits while he wipes down his bar. It just feels more real because of how casual it is. Just my thoughts.

[@BeckettSong]

That's probably because Star Wars is a series of six episodic films. Star Trek has a total of five TV series with an average of 6 episodes per season which means the writers/producers have a lot more imaginative space to explore(pardon the pun). The "space" that I'm referring to is the characters and their relationship with one another and how they react to the current situation, etc. In the Star Trek movies and Star Wars as well, the stories are much less complex than in all the episodes of each Trek series. They're much more direct and do not have as much character development. Can you imagine what the Padme/Annakin romance would've been like if Star Wars had been a TV series or the Han/Leia romance? Makes you think. ;-)

[@imyouandurme]

I agree. However, a typical season of Star Trek is actually more like 24 episodes long, but that even further solidifies your point. I used to be obsessed with movies, but lately I've become more fond of a good series, which (as you explained) explores a much broader scope of character and plot development. ComicBookGirl19 was just talking about this. In one of her latest videos, she argued that Ender's Game should have been made into a series, and further argued that Dune would make an excellent series if done by the right people, which I wholeheartedly agree with. The Dune saga on the small screen would be like Game of Thrones for us Sci-Fi nerds.

[@BeckettSong]

imyouandurme I made a typo. "6 episodes per season" was supposed to be 26 episodes per season". Well on average anyway.

[@kendallrivers1119]

I so agree with this! I think any series is always better with humor and fun even in dramatic series with darkness apart of them. It just makes more engaging television and honestly more entertaining than just boring, bleak straightforward stuff. Action without character is dull and stories without character development and strong relationships just stink imo. I love Voyager, TNG, TOS and DS9 because they have all that. Though even with movies I feel like First Contact, Wrath of Khan, Undiscovered Country are films that are glorious with character elationship development as any of the series had.

[@capnheehee8103]

Five years later, but after reading your thoughts, I think I agree with you. These are the scenes I keep coming back to. I wish there was a "real" Star Trek to watch right now, but there isn't. :-(

[@paacer]

Jeri has such a beautiful voice singing and speaking .Seven and the Doc were fantastic together in all their scenes .

[@darthtami]

Oh my god her voice is amazing.

[@jordanlp02]

Seven :D "I dislike irrelevant conversation."

[@jackreacher8288]

That's my kind of girl! :D

[@goatcheese4me]

1:26 - Jeri Ryan admitted that many times the other actors made her laugh so much that she struggled during the two-shot scenes--she couldn't look at them in the eye. The picture is a bit blurry but it looks here like she's looking just to the left of Robert Picardo.

[@almostfm]

About a year ago, I was in a locally produced movie. I played a permanently drunk guy and in one scene, I'm really inappropriately hitting on a woman. On the first take, I gave her one of those big "sloppy drunk" winks, and she broke. After about take 8, we finally reblocked the scene slightly so it just looked like we were making eye contact, because when we did make eye contact, even though I didn't wink any more, she still kept laughing.

[@landwirtschafthoch1012]

when he stops singing and realized how much he loves her.. *slowly dying * i am not crying you are!

[@francoisbessing]

Excuse me. I saw this for the first time over 5 years ago...ever since then..most time when I sing in the shower in many cities and many towns where I've lived, I have sung this song faithfully even pausing in between to have the Doctor's little speech on singing with emotion...I plan to tour as an artist one day. I would want to close out my concerts with this song.

[@Dafoodmaster]

François Bessing, follow your dreams my man.

[@BlinkinFirefly]

omg I love this scene so much! its such a sweet moment between these two characters...=) I just wanna watch it over again

[@johnsonanum]

Sweet moment? He was a hologram in love with a cyborg girl. How on earth could that be anything but sad?

[@BlinkinFirefly]

well I guess im just a glass half full kinda gal!

[@johnsonanum]

BlinkinFirefly Well, good for you. But didn't she hook-up with Chakotay at some point? Didn't the Doctor Confess his love for her (among other things) at some point?

[@BlinkinFirefly]

....your....point?....

[@johnsonanum]

BlinkinFirefly My point is that the doctors unrequited love for her is just sad. Essentially, it's a flaw in his programming to be capable of loving a corporeal being. No good can come out of it. It is Sad and Pitiful, not sweet.

[@nichtdiemama11]

Today I started playing with Cortana's voice commands in Windows 10 and tried "sing for me". She sang some random song and it kinda reminded me of this scene from Voyager. I was like "Wait a second... hey Cortana, sing you are my sunshine". She started singing and I joined in just like the doctor. It was the first time I actually felt emotionally touched by an "AI".

[@aaronrichards2842]

you can do that?

[@snosslehop]

I love this moment. It is one of my favourites from TV history. So human, but out of this world.

[@interstellarodyssey5378]

But of course, the "genius" that is Braga decided it'd be better to smash Chakotay and Seven together, we absolutely zero character building or much interaction between them.

[@ghidorah15]

Ugh, yes...so stupid. If I ever somehow got put in charge of _Star Trek_ one day, my first act would be to write an episode showing where the _Voyager_ crew ended up and putting paid to that nonsense with Chakotay and Seven.

[@ninedivines9655]

Sadly these were the good old times, now complete star trek series are being ruined because we now have Alex Kurtzman, I wish we had a Braga to produce our new star trek series. Anything better than Kurtzman.

[@Avarter123]

Nine Divines well I mean, there’s no obvious busty gorgeous bombshell blondes in skintight catsuits in the new stuff but... I enjoyed discovery. Quite a bit actually. I’d dare to say that it is the Star Trek we need in the modern day era. Of course nothing can take away the nostalgia of voyager, ds9 and enterprise but, discovery is pretty damn good in its own right. Plus it’s v pretty to look at as a whole production whereas back then the only pretty thing to look at was seven of nine.

[@Euroviking86]

Ikr, I hate that still.

[@richoberst9392]

Precisely. Still irks me SO. MUCH.

[@LDSloan]

Wow, like there wasn't enough to like about Seven already. I just fell in love with her all over again all these years later. ;)

[@meiray]

The first moment the Doctor realized he was in love with Seven. Wonderful, oft-forgotten episode. Such a huge shame she was shoehorned into a relationship with Chakotay.

psh! as if. Seven is so mine

[@johnsonanum]

BlinkinFirefly "Seven of Mine" is actually a quote from an alien on star trek voyager, who got drunk and professed his love for the girl in the video above.

[@BlinkinFirefly]

yes...I have seen all of the episodes.... im just pushing the fact that I LOVE HER!!!

[@johnsonanum]

BlinkinFirefly Back off.....She's MINE !!! All her cat walking and tight-fitting clothes were for my benefit.

He is my second favorite hologram of all time, only slightly behind Vic Fontaine from DS9, who I swear is a legit AI with all the shit he can pull.

[@connorgonzalez4023]

@@Isildun9 I mean, they programmed him to be self-aware, so he knows he's a hologram. That sounds like a pretty legit AI to me.

[@Isildun9]

@@connorgonzalez4023 not just that, but he has full control of his program, can access other holosuites besides the one he's active in, and can access the stations comms system to talk to people. If he wasn't such a nice guy, I'd be cursing Bashir and his friend Felix for plugging in the Overlord.

[@jeroen92]

Me and my brother sang this at my grandfathers funeral, it was a song he used to quietly sing in the car when I was little

[@Aymiikeeganmelb]

One of my fav scenes ever !! I don't know who I love better the doc or seven ... Both are so awesome !!

[@MichaelSmith-pj6de]

Originally, I wanted Seven and Harry to become a couple. Then, by this time, I was rooting for Seven and the Doctor. What did we get? Seven and Chakotay... go figure.

[@MattJohno2]

Yeah, I honestly thought Chakotay would get Janeway... Especially in the early seasons... They just seemed to click. I know, it's against protocol for superior officers to fall in love, but being 50,000LY from home, some protocol can afford to be thrown out the airlock.

[@MyN0N4M3]

I dont think they make television lake that today. So innocent and yet in context so thought provoking.

[@kylekirchhevel9097]

When you actually listen to the lyrics, and remember how the Doctor's chance with Seven blows up before he can even start, this song turns into a heartbreaker because the Doctor's sunshine was taken away.

[@starsweet4]

doctor and seven were by far the best and most interesting characters on this show.. this was a great episode as well

[@orellaminx3530]

Hired as eye-candy, easily one of the best Trek actors of all time. All you need to do is look at all the fan-fictionesque half Vulcan's we have today to see how poorly the role of Seven could have been handled. She owned that character.

I just watched this episode for the first time last weekend, and I swear I've watched this scene like five times a day since.

[@StarWarriorCentral]

TOS had the goal to delve into the human spirit in a space-age format. They did a good job for a time that DEMANDED bare-knuckle fist fights. But Voyager did the goal with considerably less bare-knuckle fist fights. In other words, Voyager was what TOS set out to do. Enterprise was just bare-knuckle fist fights. The only time I got emotional was while watching the last episode because they needed much more character development.
