I like Star Trek stories that have morals, just like this one. The moral is if you can’t get what you want be a petulant child and piss and whine about it all you can and it’ll be yours. Stand up Harry Kim, it’s your finest hour.
Janeway and Chakotay are infected on a planet and there is no cure so they have to be left behind putting Tuvok in command, oh shame. Down on the planet over the course of the two months, yes apparently it was two months though they never really indicated that, Janeway and Chakotay grow closer together. Well I say closer together, it was the Star Trek closer, ie giving massages and touching hands. Shocking stuff, I’m surprised Janeway didn’t get pregnant immediately.
So to the ship; racism is dead in the 24th century? Pfft, unless you’re a Vulcan. Just because Tuvok doesn’t feel all as “emo” as the crew that somehow means that he’s making the wrong decisions.
Then of course there’s Kim’s temper tantrum (is he five?) on the bridge that has him relieved of duty, what’s wrong Harry? Is the world a worse place now you’re not half way up the Captain’s anus?! The fact that the crew all go along with this and that eventually even Tuvok does just sickens me. Sure, let’s risk the safety of the ship to get a cure from the Vidiians just to bring back two people. The story would’ve been much better if some people on Voyager had died in the ensuing battle but of course that would’ve raised interesting questions and can’t have that. And relax.
