Episode 4: Time And Again

Hey, it’s a time travel episode!  Excellent, haven’t seen any of them in a while... oh wait.  Plus just to make it even better there’s an annoying kid in it.  At least Ken Biller the story editor realised this too after the event though when he said “"If you remember, there's a kid that Paris is accused of threatening, and you ultimately wished he had."  So yeagh, I didn’t like this one.  The best thing about it was Paris’ line to Kim “Maybe you should run a self-diagnostic” but then even they seem to know this since the line’s in there twice.

This episode isn’t even saved by character stuff since there doesn’t actually appear to be any.  Even Paris who I’ve started liking in the previous two episodes didn’t seem to be himself with a lot of generic lines.  At least Neelix wasn’t annoying since he was hardly in it.

The Prime Directive is given prominence in this one, with Janeway arguing for it and Tom against/or not really caring.  Which brings me to the ending or lack thereof.  They might as well have been free with one bound.  Indeed nobody remembers the events of the episode except the viewer, which is just especially cruel if you ask me. 

Good things about it then.  Hmm, well the Doctor is good as normal.
