An OK episode, directed by Roxann-Biggs Dawson, i.e. B'Elanna Torres.

1) Stardate 53263.2, well into the season.

2) Two races, the Kesset and the Beneth. They will probably be forgotten soon enough.

3) Is the Doctor programmed so as to be distractable by music, and if so, can't he shut down that function????

4) I don't know whether this is new or not, but Tuvok received 17 Starfleet commendations. Might be interesting to know the contents of the service record Okudagram.

5) The Beneth employed a 9 million terawatt cloaking field, for all those keeping track of power figures. There were 22 ships around the station and 3000 people overall.

6) I thought of a starship. You have fifteen yes-or no questions to guess.

*has just seen the episode* Hmm. Wasn't bad.......predictable, but not bad.

It was okay, but way better written than "Spock's Brain" for sure. And what starship?

Well if they ever make an episode worst than "Spock's Brain" then Trek is in seriously bad condition.

Oh come on, in the early days of Voyager "Spock Brain" was a high point to shoot for.

Posted by Kosh (Member # 167) on :

"Threshold", "Demon", "Euligem". At least "Spock's Brain" was funny. Unintentionally funny, but funny.

What happened to the anti-gravity push carts? When Neelix brought in Tuvok stuff the cart had wheels

Posted by Coddman (Member # 10) on :

Perhaps it was a Vulcan pushcart. *LMAO*

The station kind of reminded me of the Caretaker array.

You are not the only one. Personally, those ships reminded me of Shadow crabs from B5, not to mention the fact that the actual aliens look a lot like Shadows, and are invisible in absence of special light...

You list the worst Trek episodes and omit "The 37s" ?

Okay episode: gave Tim Russ a chance to be anything other than stoic, for a change.

(which would be worse, Klingon opera at Worf-volume levels, or Neelix performing all 23 parts of "Clash on the Fire Plains?")

Posted by Jim Phelps (Member # 102) on :

I mentioned this elsewhere on the forums already, but I liked the part where Seven compares her situation to that of Tuvok. What right does the Voyager crew have to decide for her? It's an interesting question.

I have blocked out "Profit and Lace" -- but not as much as I wish I had.

Got to see this last night. Liked it well enough. Not a great one, but a good one. Tim Russ did a nice job, as did Ethan Phillips. Nice F/X.
