Episode 38: Innocence
You know, I wasn’t going to watch all of Voyager again, I had looked at other things to do, even Deep Space Nine again. Then this voice in my head piped up. “Review Voyager” it said. “You can start a blog” it said. So here I am not even at the end of season two plodding along. Episodes like this one really don’t help, 38 out of 168. 130 to go. 130.
Alright alright, I’ll carry on. Tuvok crash lands on an alien moon and he has to look after some children, you can almost hear the sitcom laughter while watching it. See how Tuvok has to scold children and be patient with them, how hilarious yet heartwarming. But wait! There’s a twist, the children are old people, it seems in Drayan society people age backwards so y’know, there’s that. I suppose though creches and retirement homes would still be pretty similar.
Still the Doctor is in a brief scene trying to be diplomatic with a visiting delegation of Drayans, that was mildly amusing. I can only hope that the next episode is better. Much better.
One thing I can’t help but think, is the movie “The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button” to the Drayans like “Memento” is to us?
