Told you Voyager would be back to normal this episode. The main story in this one is about Kes and Neelix’ relationship. Just in case anyone out there had forgotten about it.
The episode itself is pretty much about sex, so naturally it’s pretty dull. Kes is going through puberty and space sperm are attacking the ship. You wouldn’t have thought any of this was going to happen in this one after Chakotay and Janeway were talking about crew fraternisation at the start. Yes, they did use the word fraternisation.
Regarding Kes’ puberty and possible pregnancy I wasn’t sure if it was being played for laughs or not. Possibly because Kes seemed to lurch from scene to scene from farce to melodrama, which was funny in itself I suppose.
Tuvok seemed very irritable this story which I didn’t like, though I’ll give him a break since it was Neelix he was talking to and even being served “food” by. Also I should have “It’s a good thing the Doctor was in this episode” on autotext.
And another thing, what is it about Voyager that they keep coming across space aliens that try to attack or destroy the ship and Janeway doesn’t want to disturb them, spending the episode trying to be “space friends”. You just know if Kirk had got trapped in the Delta Quadrant it would’ve been one vast wasteland within two seasons. Space aliens? Shmace shmaliens.
