It’s a Doctor episode! And it’s... not bad. The Doctor falls in love, it has some good parts to it, but what can I say, maybe I’m not a romantic?
It was quite amusing watching the professional Doctor become like a teenager though when he fell in love with a Vidiian who was a hologram (don’t ask). It did result in some nice scenes, like him asking her quite matter of factly if she was in love with him too and the Doctor checking his programming as he didn’t think he was functioning properly. It did result in a good ending though which provided some symmetry to the rest of the episode which I always like but most of the story felt like stuff I’d already seen before, and sometimes on Star Trek.
This episode’s slightly out of place B story was Lt. Paris and his continuing delinquency. This has actually been running for a few episodes now and still feels out of nowhere, especially when he pushes over Chakotay and ends up in the brig, that place is going to be more packed than Arkham Asylum really soon. This whole storyline started around the same time as a traitor was detected on Voyager talking to the Kazon but there can’t POSSIBLY be a connection can there?!
