(First watched 2007-01-05) From her deathpoint with near-total memory loss, Kes keeps getting sent earlier in time, and must learn things backward and try to make progress with earlier and earlier forms of the crew.  Really a great episode.  It only falls apart a bit at the end, with her regressing to a point at least as far back as conception before somehow the treatment in the series' present catches up.  Then the explanation that she's regained her memories so she can go on with her life as normal... but she's really the remnant of a future Kes.  Why only fully regain the memories up to this point?  Reconnecting with the physical memories in the brain in that time period's version of Kes?

Line 98: Line 98:
(First watched 2007-01-06) Two really good episodes in a row?  Is this Voyager?  The Doctor is consistently the best thing about the series, so this episode focused on him was enjoyable.  He tries to simulate family life on the holodeck; at first with a too-perfect family, and then with a more randomized family that parodies usual family troubles with a Star Trek twist: not only is his son rebelling and taking on "undesirable" traits due to his friends, but they're Klingons and he wants to be a warrior.  His reactions to his daughter's accident are quite sad, and grow him as a character.  The B-story with the sub-space eddies is almost pointless, except that it gives the Doctor a chance to push his own story forward by getting pissy with Paris.

Line 104: Line 104:
(First watched 2007-01-07)  This one is pretty good, too, but has a bit too much of the Voyager Crap.  Interesting to have a big chunk of the episode not from Voyager's point of view.  The scientists' lost battle was nice; too often on Star Trek we see things turn out perfectly.  However, the very theory being argued over, while a cool idea... well, Voyager may be 70,000 light years from home, but they just CAN'T seem to avoid running into direct connections to the Alpha Quadrant and more specifically Earth, so points are lost.  Having the Holodeck speculate on likely evolutions of creatures through millions of years in the blink of an eye with few guidelines given: crap.  Not quite as crap as [[Star Trek: Voyager Season 2|season 2]]'s Threshold's take on evolution, but still crap.

Line 116: Line 116:
(First watched 2007-01-08)  Started off pretty interesting, with the crew treating the mysterious holoprogram like a group of gamers might a very freeform adventure game.  However, it then became a standard "stuck in a dangerous program with the safeties off" affair.

I kind of like that [[Star Trek: The Next Generation|TNG]] ended [[Star Trek: The Next Generation Season 3|season 3]] with a big Borg cliffhanger (Best of Both Worlds) and 7 years later Voyager does the same.
