Episode 14: Faces



After the teaser it starts with Neelix making Plomeek Soup to remind him of home.  I suspect Neelix doesn’t and never will understand the no emotions of Vulcans.  Would’ve been good if Tuvok was secretly a Romulan and killed Neelix one day but anyway I digress.

So yes, this is the one where Torres is split into her Human and Klingon halves; I thought they’d have done this later on in the series if at all.  No, don’t role your eyes yet though, it’s not as bad as it sounds, true there are bad moments in the episode but then this is Voyager.  Plus I liked how while she was going to be to normal as it were by the next episode she wasn’t at the end of this one.  Also that the continuing fighting between her two halves will go on and she wasn’t all happy and contented.

This episode also marked the first death of a Voyager crewmember since arriving in the Delta Quadrant.  How was this sad occasion marked by the Captain and crew?  Well... it wasn’t.  Since you ask they also left the other prisoners of the Vidiians in the prison camp.  Probably Prime Directive or something or other.

According to Memory Alpha this episode marks the halfway point of all Star Trek episodes and movies.  So just think about that, apart from the Deep Space Nine remaining at this point we’re only halfway through now and there’s still the rest of Voyager and Enterprise to come.  But that’s another story or maybe adventure would be a better word.
