Episode 78: Random Thoughts


And here we are once again, a good idea is ruined by a predictable pedestrian episode.

Torres and Janeway are visiting a planet so naturally go to the smallest marketplace they can find and put simply Torres has an angry thought which makes some of the inhabitants want to kill. I don’t know about you, but if the Voyager crew landed on my planet I’d feel about the same. Torres is arrested for her violent thought and is about to have a lobotomy when it’s discovered there’s an underground market for violent thoughts and they wanted to get Torres. Because ladies and gentlemen, they’re trying to tell you that censorship is wrong with this one and so it is. This episode shouldn’t be censored, they should have just made it better.

Of course while all this is going on Paris gets annoyed that we don’t just nuke the planet from orbit but Chakotay isn’t so sure. Neelix who obviously wants to get in on the machismo, befriends a girl for five seconds and goes off on an angry rant whenever she’s killed.

For this episode too, Tuvok cooperates with the local police detective, Nimira who’s better known as B’Etor in TNG et al. Yes, this one is so boring, I’m telling you who’s in it now.
