Really, though, temporal weapon aside, it's a story from the 'Let's blow up the ship!' side of the writer's room, dressed up in some different threads. And considering where it lands in my countdown, I'm more than happy to do so here, as well. 'Conundrum' is a TNG ep I love, so I can, in theory, 'Conundrum' problem, which I've mentioned elsewhere in these VOYД¬ountdowns. does he get off rather easy, considering the body count?)Д«ut I got kind of stuck on the wtf-ness of the whole scenario. Nevertheless, solid performance from Clarence Boddicker either way. Could a society capable of building this thing truly fail to understand this? Of course, its ineffectiveness is the whole point Annorax must come to see the wisdom of not using the temporal weapon in the first place. His crew name some of those reasons, but are they convincing? Don't they kind of just say 'Nah, not enough, we've got to get this Year of Hell going.' But the problems that the 'solution' creates are just opportunity cost. Problem is, some of their answers open up questions I didn't even know until they evaded answering them, like why build a weapon toД®rase an enemy from history when you could just kill them? Annorax and Or pretends to - I had a million other questions that no one onscreen asked, but okay, let's say they asked and answered them offscreen. I mean, does this make any sense atДЄll? The script both dances around it and examines it in some detail. Even if this is the breakthrough-ep for Tom and B'Elanna's relationship and even if I enjoy their chemistry onscreen, some of this stuff is just overdone. Some of the suit-shared stuff metaphor gets a little cutesy. We're only stranded in the Delta Quadrant. Why does B'Elanna say 'I'm leaving' and attempt to walk by instead of 'Computer, end program'? I suppose (as Paris alludes to later) it's to indicate her disturbed state of mind. I'll have more to say on Neelix a little later. Ethan Phillips deserves to be celebrated, and I have to say the way Neelix fits into things is handled well more often than it's not. I wish they'd given Neelix a different visual. Holodeck program, Torres finds herself stranded in space with Tom Paris, Trying to reconcile with her Klingon half on the Klingon holiday via a Why not have had Tuvok and Nimira attracted to one another and not acting on it? I like Tuvok's faithfulness to his wife (it's only logical after all) and am glad they never 'went there.' But for the drama, some unacted upon attraction would have helped, no? There's a subtle undercurrent of it here, but if they'd played it up more, it'd have reflected the murder story more and maybe raised the overall quality some.ДЄ terrible day working with Seven of Nine, fighting with Chakotay,Дealing with an duplicitous aliens who steal Voyager' s warp core, and Here's a thought: the episode rests on thoughts vs. It feels like they were really going for great and never quite gets there. By professors, pundits, politicians, and punters. Interesting to watch this in 2018, though, when you actually hear arguments like the one she's making re: hate speech/ thoughtcrime/ exposure to ideas being violence itself.

Not the greatest performance from Tuvok's ladyfriend.

'Wolf in the Fold,' anyone? How could I blame anyone in the writer's room for having the same TOS and TNG hang-ups I myself have? Nevertheless, I'll take 'Wolf in the Fold'. Investigating the seemingly open and shut case, Tuvok soon finds himselfД®mbroiled in a black market of thoughtcrime. Thought from her mind causes another man to commit a crime. It makes sense and feels okay to me, though.ДЄ planet of telepaths, Lieutenant Torres is arrested when a violent There really is no kind of segue from that into the below - is there ever? - and perhaps it's the wrong place to append such sentiments in the first place. Although we only knew each other a handful of years and all of it through the internet, I really loved hearing from him and bs-ing back and forth. The world - and all the quadrants around it - lost a damn good one. But I imagine when you make your way through all the Daredevils in Lucien's Library, you'll need something to fill the gap between that and your next project. Much has happened since my last Voyager post, some of it terribly sad (RIP, Trey Sterling) and some of it even worse (RIP, Trey Sterling.) I'd like to dedicate this post to the memory of my departed friend, and if his spirit is reading these words: sorry it's not, like a statue, or the Delta Quadrant Tropic Dancers, or something way cooler than some dumbass rankings of Voyager.
