412: '''Mortal Coil''' ''[[1997]] [[December 17]]''


(First watched 2007-03-07)  Interesting.  Neelix "dies", but thanks to Seven's medical knowledge can be revived after 19 hours.  This exaggerates the sort of things people already wonder about the nature of when life ends, and really lets us into Neelix's head to see how he tries to deal with it.  Is he still really the same Neelix?  Was his belief in an afterlife a sham?  Of course conclusions can't really be reached for these issues, so in the end we just see Neelix freak out over them and then get convinced to get over them and get on with life.

(First watched 2007-03-16)  The concept of a race that lives primarily in a collective dream world is interesting.  I'm also a sucker for the plot device of someone not being sure if they're really back in reality or not.

(First watched 2007-03-17)  What a great episode!  If there's one thing Voyager does well it's the Doctor, so an episode that was mostly he and a newer model [[Andy Dick]] EMH trying to recapture a ship was great.

Of note, as the middle of the middle season, this is basically Voyager half-point.  Probably not a coincidence that it was picked for a major event like finally achieving some communication with home.

(First watched 2007-03-18)  Receiving messages from home was more what I expected from the title of the previous episode.  Sooo Voyager finds a massive network of communication relays, learns they're amazingly powerful and 100,000 years old... and in a rescue mission destroy one relay causing the whole system to shut down.  I haven't seen an opportunity like that slip away since every other [[Stargate]] episode.

(First watched 2007-03-21) Alien VS Predator.  Three episodes in a row with these Hirogen.  I guess now that they're away from the Kazon they had to write up yet another warrior race.  Also [[Tony Todd]].
