| Earth☆Star Voyager | comment |
Earth☆Star Voyager is a Pilot Movie that originally aired as a 2-part miniseries on ABC's The Disney Sunday Movie in January 1988. It focuses on a group of over-achieving young people from a late 21st century Crapsack Earth as they trek through the stars to find a new home for the human race. Along the way, the crew has to deal with the usual dangers of TV space travel, along with the drama and awkwardness typical of being a teenager or a young adult on television.As considerable Artistic License is taken with the science, its nature as a soft science fiction keeps the show accessible to its younger viewers.The miniseries was actually nominated for two primetime Emmys for sound editing and sound mixing.Even though the series was never picked up, the miniseries has developed a small but vocal fanbase. Disney almost refuses to admit that this miniseries ever existed, so don't look for an official DVD release (or any kind of release, for that matter). If you look hard enough on the Internet, though, you should be able to find a copy.NOT to be confused with that certain other TV series named Voyager (which is probably a contributor to Disney wanting to bury the nascent series in the long term). the cast included Brian McNamara as Jonathan Hays, Command Specialist: Age 21. Jason Michas as Jessie "Beanie" Bienstock, Computer Sciences: Age 14. Julia Montgomery as Dr. Sally Arthur, M.D., Space Medicine: Age 24. Tom Bresnahan as Huxley Welles, Navigation: Age 18. Dinah Gaston as Lani Miyori, Communication: Age 16. Margaret Langrick as Luz Sansone, Communication: Age 15. Bruce Harwood as Dr. Leland Eugene, M.D., Psychiatrist: Age 22. Duncan Regehr as Jacob Brown, Former Commander, Vanguard Explorer: Age 36. | |

Applied Phlebotinum: The Bauman Drive and plasma-thrust engines that the Earth Star Voyager is equipped with. Presumably allows Faster-Than-Light Travel. From the 'running elastic through the universe' analogy on how the Bauman Drive works, it seems that the drive is capable of allowing them to mimic FTL travel via Extradimensional Shortcut. | |

He escapes with them and becomes a part of the crew, because it's implied that that his fate under Vance would have been unpleasant. | |

Time-Passage Beard: Captain Brown starts off clean shaven, and then is marooned alone on a space station for 6 years. When he is found by the Earth Star Voyager, he sports Wild Hair and a Beard of Barbarism. After he cleans up nicely, he decides to keep a neatly trimmed beard. Since Brown is at least 10 years older than everyone else on the ship, the beard helps to reinforce that he is A Father to His Men. It also makes him the Cool Old Guy. | |

A Pupil of Mine Until He Turned to Evil: Vance, who was First Officer under Jacob Brown on the Vanguard Explorer before leading a successful mutiny against Brown in the opening scene. This is assuming he wasn't already evil, in which case he would be a Deceptive Disciple. The miniseries simply doesn't give us enough background on the reason for the mutiny to settle this. | |

| Earth☆Star Voyager / int_6eb4e408 | comment |
Artistic License – Military: The decision to not arm the Voyager before her flight (but store the components for the heavy laser weapons aboard for later assembly), and give the crew only personal defense weapons. Sending any crew unarmed on what is basically a pathfinder mission through uncharted space on a twenty-six year mission with known enemies out there (even if it was said that the OTZ was defeated) because "Voyager is on a peaceful mission of exploration makes ZERO sense. Of course, that was all part of Admiral Beasley's Evil Plan... | |

Future Food Is Artificial: Earth food of the future includes "Veggie Bioburgers" with optional "Amino Sauce", "Thermachips", and "Nutrishakes" with or without "Biocyclene". The characters are eating what looks like a seaweed patty with rice cakes for buns. | |

Date My Avatar | |
| Earth☆Star Voyager / int_c542b258 | comment |
Date My Avatar: The film plays this trope straight, but in reverse chronological order from usual. Priscilla is the ship's computer, a large box of plastics and metals. Thus, Huxley is simply annoyed when she falls in love with him. However, when she shows him the picture of the Mad Scientist's Beautiful Daughter that her personality was based on (possibly recorded from), he's amazed that a woman who looks like that would go for him. (Which doesn't change the fact that this Priscilla is, and always has been, plastics and metal.) | |

They know EVERYTHING." However, all we see is the 'Thunderdome-chic' surface and the warriors, and are told that the laboratories and other research areas are located underground. | |

Sci-Fi Writers Have No Sense of Scale | |
| Earth☆Star Voyager / int_d525f857 | comment |
Sci-Fi Writers Have No Sense of Scale: Hoo, boy. Where to begin? The big question is how much time actually elapses between the ship's launch and Assembly, given that the latter takes place in another star system and the crew does not age visibly. Case in point: Their final destination is about 20 light years away, and the trip is expected to take about 13 years. Suppose the events of the movie take place over a 2 month period. After 2 months, they've reached a binary star system, which can be no closer than 4 light years if "Twin Suns" is indeed Alpha Centauri. So...they went 20% of the way in 2 months, but they need more than 12 years to go the final 80%? Also, space station Blue Star Gamma, Expo Tomorrow, and the wreck of the Vanguard Explorer must all be relatively near to each other. The signals mentioned in the Aliens Steal Cable example would have passed Demeter decades before the story. | |

My Sensors Indicate You Want to Tap That | |
| Earth☆Star Voyager / int_ecfe441 | comment |
My Sensors Indicate You Want to Tap That: Completely turned on its ear, as here the ship's computer Priscilla has a blatant crush on Huxley. Huxley is not amused, but the rest of the Command Roster thinks it's hilarious. Given that Priscilla is the personality of a woman in her late 30's, and Huxley is either 18 or 19, does that make the computer a cougar? Priscilla also proves in the end to be completely aware of the feelings Bienie has developed for Luz; when playing back the reconstructed data received via long-range telescope array from Demeter, she playfully inserts some footage she made herself of Bienie and Luz walking hand in hand through the Demeter countryside, officially outing their budding relationship to the whole ship (most of whom were aware already anyway). | |
