Episode 82: Message In A Bottle



Hooray! A good episode at last and wouldn’t you just know it features the Doctor? Oh and some comedian guy called Andy Dick.

Seven discovers a communications array which she uses to boost sensors and see just into the Alpha Quadrant. Well, it’s either that or chat to the crew. They send the Doctor through to the USS Prometheus which as luck would have it, has been taken over by Romulans. So the Doctor and the Prometheus’ EMH have to fight back against them. The Prometheus seems to have a top secret “multi vector assault mode”, in that it seperates and attacks things. The Enterprise D was doing that years before, so it’s hardly a secret.

Meanwhile back on Voyager, Torres and Seven can’t seem to get along. Well Torres can’t more specifically. Though that might be something to do with the large coat the actress has to wear to try and hide her pregnancy. So to recap, Torres is irritable. Are we sure she hasn’t been pregnant for four years?

The two EMH’s are actually excellent together, especially when they bicker of course. Their fast paced conversations and attempts to fly the ship are the episode highlights. Even the touching ending where the Doctor reveals that Star Fleet knows that they’re still out there. Well that’s that episode done, I’m sure the next one will be back to the usual dross.
