(First watched 2007-02-23) Aliens steal technology from Voyager, Voyager crew tries to steal it back; standard stuff. The real fun in the episode is [[John Rhys-Davies]] as [[Leonardo da Vinci]], or at least a hologram version of him. It made me question the way the crew look upon simulated hologram people. By this point they seem to have accepted the Doctor as a person. The mobile emitter is referred to as "the Doctor's emitter", for instance. But what makes him more deserving of it than any other hologram person, such as Leonardo in this case? Yet one gets to be a crew member, while the other gets stored back in the computer to be pulled out for kicks. Is it completely arbitrary, or is there something special about the Doctor's programming? Something that would be equivalent to, say, the way humans define themselves apart from animals? | |||
It was really interesting seeing Leonardo react to fantastical things as best he could. When a phaser blast passed right through him, he started questioning his very existence; I really felt for the guy. Yet the best explanation Janeway would give him about all the fancy goings on was that, like a bird wouldn't understand a human, he couldn't properly understand the things going on. So dismissive. | |||
