Remember last time and Neelix’ boring and repetitive jealousy? Well, it’s back and this time in an episode all to itself. Woo.
There’s a point in this episode where for about five or ten minutes I actually think it’s going to be really good. Of course that doesn’t last, in the same way that the feeling you get that this might be a good episode each time doesn’t last. Neelix actually becomes furious at Paris, Paris with Neelix and they end up in a fight, Kes is angry with the both of them and you can feel the emotions. Soon enough though it’s back to passive aggressiveness and the usual suppressed emotions. It almost turns into Vulcan ship, except that’d be good.
They’re both sent down to a planet on an entirely coincidental mission, crash and have to survive together while looking after a baby lizard. Yes, really. Shockingly they all have a newfound respect for each other at the end so everyone on the ship is friends with each other and there’s no conflict anywhere! But who needs conflict when you’re writing drama.
Looking at the positives at least Neelix’ jealousy won’t be mentioned again. Also the Doctor has a couple of good scenes in this. I still have nightmares about that episode he wasn’t in.
