Episode 12: Heroes And Demons



Hey look it's a holodeck malfunction but it's okay it gives the Doctor an excuse to do something.  Unfortunately that something is rescue Harry Kim, but you can't have everything can you?  If you could they wouldn’t have done Enterprise.

This episode wasn’t too bad, it did give the Doctor a chance to shine outside of his normal sickbay confinements (sans cheese).  I thought the actress who played Freya was particularly good too.  Some parts of the story were quite predictable though, like the beginning which had a confinement beam breach at the start.  Imagine my considerable surprise when the creature turned out to be from that.

The only problem I have with the character of the Doctor in Star Trek Voyager is that he's essentially a feeling lifeform created by Star Fleet, yet only a few years earlier there was the big thing about them not being able to create one.  A bit geeky I know, especially since he's the best thing about the show.

In this episode the Doctor almost chooses a name but it's associated with a painful time to which Janeway responds "Sounds like you had quite an adventure"  Because if there's one thing that says adventure it's pain.  So to sum up, Captain Janeway is quite the adventure.
