Episode 22: Twisted




In today’s Voyager the crew come across a spatial anomaly, this being the first spatial anomaly that they’ve ever seen of course.  I’m just shocked there was no mention of time travel this...um... time.
This anomaly seems to like moving round rooms, corridors and decks of the ship so people end up walking round lost.  How no-one died during this I’ve no idea.  Anyway it turns out the anomaly is doing all this so it can be space friends or something and after passing through the ship nothing is changed.  Kind of like this show every week.

Also featured is more of Neelix getting jealous over other men’s attention to Kes.  Yeagh, because that never gets boring and repetitive, kind of like seeing a spatial anomaly every other week.  Maybe the anomaly caused his jealousy... wait that’s probably a season three story.

The thing that really makes this episode dreadful are the bizarre emotional outpourings and apologies from Voyager’s crew seemingly out of nowhere.  So we have Tuvok and Chakotay sparring (because apparently Vulcan’s are arrogant then expressing their true respect for each other, Janeway telling Kim that he’s the bright spot of the voyage and Neelix and Kes with their jealousy shtick.  It almost turns it from sci-fi into a poor soap opera.

As a side note Paris uses a weeks worth of his replicator rations to get Kes a locket as a present.  Good to know that while there isn’t any money in StarFleet, commerce is alive and well.  And they say Ferenginar is dead.
