Line #21 Recap/VoyagersS1E15VoyagersOfTheTitanic


1	Bogg and Jeffrey find themselves on the ''Titanic''. Within a short time, they've gotten mixed up with another Voyager, Olivia, who is in the middle of an attempt to rescue ''Art/TheMonaLisa''. A time jump lands them in Louis Pasteur's office, which further complicates the situation when Jeffrey is bitten by a rabid dog.
2	!!This episode includes examples of the following tropes:
3	* AffectionHatingKid: After successfully rescuing the ''Mona Lisa'' by working together, Bogg and Olivia kiss passionately for several minutes. Jeff just turns his back and waits for it to be over.
4	* ArmorPiercingQuestion: Pasteur is about to give up on the rabies vaccine, saying he couldn't deal with the mockery that would likely result from his continuing. Bogg snaps him out of it by questioning how he's going to deal with it if Jeff dies because he was too afraid to remake the vaccine.
5	* BewareOfViciousDog: Pasteur keeps a rabid dog to help his experiments along. Unfortunately, it has gotten loose. Olivia backs it into a corner, against Bogg's advice, and it gets past her and bites Jeffrey's hand.
6	* BridalCarry: A platonic female-on-male variation; Olivia comes to take Jeffrey back to the lab to make things easier once they've recreated the vaccine. She lifts him into her arms to carry him there.
7	* CassandraTruth: Jeffrey, anguished about all the loss of life that's going to occur, tries to warn people that the ''Titanic'' is going to hit an iceberg. History continues on course because he can't get anyone to believe him.
8	* ChainOfPeople: Bogg leans over the side to retrieve Olivia's omni before the boat sinks, with Olivia holding his hand. He manages to grab it in the nick of time.
9	* ClothingDamage: Bogg gets one side of his shirt torn open during the sinking of the ''Titanic''.
10	* DisguisedInDrag: In what is probably one of the biggest character assassination depictions of Ismay, this episode portrays him trying to escape ''Titanic'' dressed as a woman.
11	* HeroicBSOD: Olivia plans to quit after failing to save the ''Mona Lisa'' from the ''Titanic'''s sinking and unintentionally endangering Jeffrey. She gets over it after collaborating with Bogg at a second attempt to rescue the painting.
12	* InstantIllness: Jeff becomes feverish and slips into half-consciousness seemingly within hours of being bitten once on the hand by a rabid dog. Rabies often takes months before the symptoms become evident and furthermore, once the symptoms begin showing, recovery is virtually impossible.
13	* IronicEcho: In the first part, J. Bruce Ismay won't let Bogg continue because of his third-class style clothing, stating that the dress code on the ''Titanic'' is very strict. Later, Bogg encounters him in drag, trying to get into one of the lifeboats. Bogg sarcastically remarks that Ismay told him there was a strict dress code on the ''Titanic''[[note]]Needless to say that in real life, Ismay did not dress as a woman to escape the ship.[[/note]]
14	* HistoricalDomainCharacter: Louis Pasteur, Bruce Ismay, Captain Edward J. Smith, Molly Brown and First Officer William Murdoch appear in the episode.
15	* NiceJobBreakingItHero:
16	** Dr. Bernard insists Jeff not getting the vaccine after he's bitten, almost resulting in him dying from rabies. [[JustifiedTrope Admittedly]], he didn't know the vaccine would work and thought he was protecting Jeff against further damage.
17	** Olivia attempts to take Jeff back to the lab and only succeeds in raising the security around his room after she's caught, almost preventing Pasteur from being able to administer the vaccine. Bogg, infuriated, calls her on this.
18	* NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent: Due to being played by Sam Chew Jr., an American, J. Bruce Ismay is depicted as having an American accent. He was born in Lancashire, and would have likely adopted the accent of his native region.
19	* ShesNotMyGirlfriend: After Olivia storms out following an argument with Bogg, Pasteur asks if he's going to go after his young woman. Bogg protests that she isn't, to which Pasteur answers that the way they fight makes it look that way.
20	* SlapSlapKiss: Bogg and Olivia spend most of the episode sniping at and disagreeing with each other before finally sharing a very passionate kiss after successfully rescuing the ''Mona Lisa''.
21	* SlaveToPR: Pasteur almost decides to give up his research on a rabies vaccine, afraid of the damage to his reputation if he continues. He snaps out of it later and says that his success has made him cowardly.
22	* UnfinishedUntestedUsedAnyway: The rabies vaccine. Bogg and Olivia know Pasteur did perfect it at some point. Olivia suggests they get some from the future, when it has definitely been perfected, but Bogg points out that Pasteur is suffering a crisis of confidence and might not perfect it in the future if he isn't encouraged about it now.
23	* WasTooHardOnHer: Bogg shoots a scathing remark at Olivia about her attempt to do things the way she thought best possibly costing them their only chance to cure Jeff. This, combined with her failure to save the ''Mona Lisa'', sends her into a massive fit of self-doubt. Bogg, having calmed down, tries to reassure her but is unable to do so.
