I barely have time as it it. Please, don’t make me do the writers, too!

Also, if you actually look into the graph, note that data points have X axis error bars of ±1.

For those who don’t want to open Desmos:

Edit: Added the Harry spike for that timeline where he had a kid with Tom’s daughter, as well as a gap for Neelix and Tuvok during the whole Tuvix thing.

Another Edit: Fixed the line connecting episodes 69 and 70 for Neelix.

      Basically. I have to say, he was mostly a good uncle figure for the rest of the series. If I went beyond a casual analysis and started giving each character a number every episode, I might find counterexamples.

      The first Paris spike is Year of Hell, or that time he dated Kes… oh crap, I need to go fix Harry real quick for dating Tom’s daughter.

      Anyhow, the second Paris spike is that time he got romantically involved with a starship.

      The Chakotay spike is mostly my bitterness about the pairing with Seven.

        I think I need to go back and watch voyager again. It must have been at least 10 years since I last watched it.

      I in general just kind of found the entire Seven-Chakotay romance really weird.

      In my opinion, Seven wasn’t necessarily emotionally mature enough for a romantic relationship. I don’t mean to call Seven a child, but because she’d been part of the Borg since she was a kid, it meant Seven never learned some important social abilities. It’s not necessarily my place to judge, but I feel like Seven was nudged towards romantic relationships at a point in her life when she wasn’t necessarily ready.

      Of course, this is really complicated, bordering on a c/DaystromInstitute question. You know, rather than boring you with the details, I’ll actually just go create that post real quick, assuming a suitable one doesn’t exist.

      Also, I’m a just a bit bitter the whole Chakotay-Janeway thing never worked out. I get there was professionalism stuff, but dating your astrometrics officer is probably weirder. I usually don’t particularly root for couples in shows, but there was legitimate chemistry between Janeway and Chakotay, especially in VOY:Resolutions.
