It’s the anniversary episode, alas it’s no Trouble With Tribbles, but then what is? Tuvok and Janeway link in a mindmeld that takes them both back in their minds to the time of Captain Sulu and Star Trek VI.
I understand the need to bring back as many of the Excelsior crew from Star Trek VI to maintain the feel of continuity (and indeed a lot of the same extras were brought back too) but did they have to give Grace Lee Whitney so many lines? I think she was just so excited to be there she forgot how to act. George Takei though is as good as always and it would’ve been nice to see him again in Star Trek.
While it was good to see them not to use time travel again but have Janeway effectively be the viewer watching these events, did they really have to fix it so that Sulu could see Janeway? Having said that I did like that the memory was actually a virus disguised as a memory. Sure, it probably makes no sense but it made just a little sense to me to sound clever. Oh and also to have Tuvok sitting on the forward part of the bridge that we never see was clever too, so it fit in with continuity. Pity then there were a few other blatant continuity errors.
One conclusion I can make about Tuvok when he was 29 is I’m glad we know him now. Making tea for his Captain? Pfft.
