Here we have the Voyager crew having to fend for themselves on the primitive planet while the Doctor and Suder try to take back Voyager with Paris and his ragtag band of Talaxian cavalry for help. I’ve got to say having Paris by himself in the shuttlecraft has made me realise how annoying his character has gotten over the last year.
First of all who put Neelix in charge of a team? He finds some bones (not THE Bones) at the mouth of a cave which he himself states is a “Do Not Disturb” sign, so naturally he tells Hogan to stand at the cave and pick up the bones. Hogan of course dies and he blames himself. Well there’s a reason for that. IT WAS YOUR FAULT!
Second of all there were a couple of decisions that the producers made that just seemed, I dunno, weak I guess. The killing of Suder for instance, especially after his good scenes with the Doctor in this, sure he redeemed himself after saving Voyager but just think how interesting it would have been with him still being on Voyager, Then of course there’s the fact that the child of Seska isn’t Chakotay’s at all. After all that might lead to character growth and we can’t have that, though then we’d have to have two children on board so... I’ll give them that one..
So part two was quite a disappointing conclusion to the story given the promise that was seen in the first one but you can’t have everything.
