So we’re back to an A and a B story. Typically enough the A story is mundane and the B story is quite good. Also typically enough the good B story features the Doctor.
So the crew come across a new alien species who own a vast expanse of space and aren’t keen on visitors. Going around it would add time to Voyager’s already lengthy journey so they opt to go through it and take the risks. Anyway since when did they care about the amount of time it would take when they go gallavanting off to the nearest anomaly on a whim and go on random journeys to find crewmember’s offspring? Not ten seconds after this announcement it’s stated that Star Fleet forbids ships to go into other alien territories without consent and Janeway’s find disobeying this. She really just makes it all up as she goes along doesn’t she?
Meanwhile the Doctor is losing his memory and so Torres uses the diagnostic programme and a holographic recreation of his creator Dr Zimmerman to help. If there’s anything that can help a Voyager episode it’s two Doctors, in fact I’d like it if he just played every character in the show but then I’m not subtle about that. As already said this was the best part and not just the Doctor being funny but him showing fear at the coming unknown of memory loss but this should have been it’s own episode rather than playing second fiddle to the bee aliens.
This episode’s triumph though was it’s ending was used by Star Trek Nemesis. Now that’s infamy for you.
