Not since "The Adversary" have I sat up so abruptly for the final shot of the show....
Oh, and the show kicked ass in a hokey Episode One way. Some really, really good dialogue, though, and nifty FX
------------------ "...I was just up in Canada, Toronto actually. You know, they really hate you guys [Americans] up there? The funny thing is, they think you hate them back, when in fact, you just couldn't be bothered to care. Now in Ireland, it's a different story. At least we had the common decency to wait until the English invaded before we started hating them. I guess the Canadians are hating you in advance..." -Irish Comic Ed Byrne on Canada-US relations

I really liked this episode. Great character interactiion, some continuity (!), and it just had a good feel. Right from the teaser I knew I'd like it. A lot of the episodes last season didn't make me want to sit and watch and pay a lot of attention. Wouldn't that be sad, and good at the same time, if the last season of Voyager turned out to be great?

I seriously liked this! It was very good! I especially liked the trade-off between Kim and the girl at gunpoint to Paris and Torres, and back again.

In all honesty, I thought the race episode, when I first heard about it, was going to suck. I just kept thinking back to that god awful wrestling episode and concluded that the Voyager writers are just incapable of mixing sports with Voyager succesfully. However, I don't need to tell you that I was wrong. I was definitly surprised when "Drive" turned out to be a pretty damn good episode.

It was a completely new thing for Star Trek, and I didn't even mind that they obviously wanted to parallel the real-world Olympics (a time when all the wars would be suspended in ancient Greece). However, the marriage came a bit too fast IMHO. On a minor note, what's so horrible about a Level 5 diagnostic?

Odd mixture of new ships and recycled ones. Ozal was cruising around in a Karemma ship. I also noticed a Devore Imperium cruiser and the shuttle from that race that sabotaged the Borg Vinculum, Species 6885 or something, among the racers. Did anyone see if the Flyer had a '2' affixed to the end of the name? My reception isn't great. I could not tell.

Nope, no "II."
Nice that we finally get t'see what those hatch things on the side of the ship are.
Anyone else look at 1st Ziyal's ship & immediately think of the Liberator from "Blake's 7?"

Well, a level five diagnostic, according to the TNG tech manual, is performed pretty well constantly by the computer on all major systems, and only takes about twenty seconds. 'Course, that was ten years ago. On DS9, it's backwards. A level 5 diagnostic is one of the most thorough kinds, where you pretty well take the system apart piece by piece. I suppose that it's plausable to say that it wasn't actually a change because DS9 is a Cardie station, but that it was a fleetwide change, and thus would have affected Voyager before she left. Or maybe it has something to do with the datastreams back to Earth...

Well, yeah, but the DS9 tech manual is pretty well screwed up, you know.
I'm betting that was just a cop-out explaination for why the series' used different numbering schemes, 'cause some writer screwed up somewheres. I like my explaination better.

But why on Earth, or why in the Milky Way, I suppose, would anyone do that?
"We've rethought things, and from now on green means stop and red means go. Yellow or amber means bow down to the avenging Elder Gods. You might want to keep an eye out for that yellow one."
Also, not having seen the episode yet, would someone mind telling me what we're talking about?

Shik, what hatches on the side of the ship are you talking about?
