(First watched 2008-10-02) If there's one thing Voyager does well, it's dealing with issues of artificial life forms. If there's another thing it does consistently, it's Janeway changing her mind, but acting completely convinced that she's correct at both times. | |||
So after the Doc went nuts the first time, they erased his memory, erased all records of Ensign Jetal from the computer, and just pretended like she'd never existed? | |||
The episode ends without his problems fully resolved, either, though since he's back to normal by next week we have to assume things like Janeway's oldass poetry set him straight. | |||
So if that holoimager thing was so easy and so informative in checking out the crew's health, why wasn't it already a standard practice? It took the brilliance of an EMH to decide it should be? No offense, Doctor. Also, the amazingly intricate scan required them to pose at different angles? Certainly the results look more complex than something one would get from combining four angles of data. If four could do such detail, why not one? | |||

512: '''Bride of Chaotica!''' ''[[1999]] [[January 27]]'' | |||
(First watched 2008-10-02) This may be the weirdest holodeck episode ever. The metaness of a 1990s scifi show talking about how inaccurate a 1930s scifi show appears in the 2370s and things like reuse of sets is appreciably silly, but it strikes a great contrast with how it's unintentionally lead to a disastrous first contact with photonic beings from another dimension, where dozens of lives (none on Voyager, of course) are lost. Makes things a bit less of a laughing matter than the tone of the episode tried for. | |||
The ship seemed to be running into lots of trouble with malfunctioning replicators and bathrooms... but I don't recall them ever explaining why there were problems beyond them being stuck. | |||
