It’s a Neelix episode! He starts his own TV show on Voyager, as if they haven’t suffered enough over the last two years and the crew can’t change the channel since there’s only him. Suddenly those episodes of Two And A Half Men don’t seem so bad.
But his TV show isn’t all cooking and chat. No, he decides to go into journalism after Kim tells him of his hard-hitting investigations when he on the Academy newspaper when he was younger. I had to read that sentence a few times after writing it but yes that did happen apparently. Strangely Kim and Neelix don’t remind me of Woodward and Bernstein but there you go.
Anyway, one of the things Neelix uncovers (well, stumbles upon) is that Paris is leaving the ship after his acting out behaviour (overacting behaviour?). So it starts from there to a conspiracy to find a traitor. Best part was Chakotay was kept in the dark over this and really didn’t seem to care. Maybe he’s just given up now and only cares 9 to 5, you know, like the rest of us.
Pretty average episode all in all, would have been better I think if though the whole thing was done in the style of a news programme but then that would mean Neelix for the entire episode so maybe not.
