Watching this episode I did wonder if there's an equivalent Starship in the Alpha Quadrant that keeps running into flotsam and jetsam from the Delta Quadrant. Next episode I'd like Voyager to run into a crumpled up piece of paper with the words "Quit throwing garbeege into our Quadrant" on it.
Yes, it's another of the Alpha Quadrant episodes, this time the crew encounter a Cardassian missile that was reprogrammed by Torres back when she was in the Maquis. The odds are 3,456,338 to 1 since you were wondering. Not only that but the missile's gone mad, just like the robots she found.
Torres really has so much luck with technology, good things she's not Chief Engi... oh.
The missile is voiced by Roxann Dawson and bizarrely the parts with her acting against herself aren't deathly dull. They feel very Star Trekey with human versus computer, Kirk would be so proud. In fact they're probably the best scenes in the episode. But then the other scenes involve Janeway taking most of the episode to realise that approximately 160 people on Voyager is less than the two million on the planet the missile is headed for.
And what's with Janeway having sole command over the Self Destruct Mechanism? I'm not sure I'd be happy with that, before you know it she'd be demanding worship and sacrifices... no? Just me then?
