Yes! Go Harry. He’s finally sick of Janeway going at a snails pace and flirting with every alien on the way so he takes matters into his own hands and empties Voyager’s phasers at an alien ship. Excellent... what do you mean it’s only temporary? Ugh. Fine.
Needless to say things get back to humdruminess pretty quickly also if it’s not a word it should be. So basically it’s revealed that Harry is really an alien who’s been trying to get back to this planet. You see the women on this planet lure the men there and convince them they’re aliens so they can eat them or something. Just like Odyseus and the Sirens! Plus if you still hadn’t got the connection by the end of the episode Harry spells it out to Neelix.
It’s a real shame the story turned out the way it did because Harry was actually interesting at the start of the this. Then it just turns into Planet of the Femme Fatales. I don’t think Star Trek’s done a planet of the women in what... weeks? Also the original draft of the script had Harry actually being an alien at the end of it, of course this was soon rewritten as you can’t have things that actually impact on other episodes.
Apparently this is the last in what Voyager fans call the Trilogy of Terror stories that began two stories back with The Darkling. Two things: Voyager fans? Also only a trilogy? Thank you, I’m here all week.
