When the very first two people to talk to each other in an episode are Neelix and Harry Kim it doesn’t bode well at all.
Neelix is killed (don’t get excited yet) when he tries to collect protomatter from a nebula. Didn’t he learn anything from Star Trek III? Luckily Seven (no pun intended) knows how to bring him back to life with nanoprobes. Unfortunately he didn’t see his afterlife and so comes to apparently question his entire faith and life. Though if he hasn’t questioned that after four years on Voyager something’s wrong.
This episode is almost good. I think when Neelix isn’t being an idiot and is played seriously he can actually turn out pretty well eg. Season 1’s Jetrel. However it’s a bit vague on it all. Plus it also gets minus points for being the episode that introduces Naomi Wildman. Just what Voyager needs a child. Although a high point has to be Seven trying to engage in party smalltalk with the Doctor and the child’s mother.
Lastly this might be the only time I’ve seen of the many times that the bridge finds out about a transport in progress that they’ve actually been able to stop it. Those aren’t good odds. So much for security.
