Episode 111: The Disease



We’ve just seen the Borg so I guess it’s time for another Voyager staple. No, not time travel, Harry Kim getting off with an alien. I guess they’d call it Planet Fever.

Voyager is helping repair a Varro ship. Now they didn’t ask to be helped, in fact they had to be harassed into it, but when you’ve got an annoying neighbour like Voyager that’s what’s going to happen. He’s got it bad this time, disobeying a direct order from Janeway to do it. Of course the crew find out because contrary to belief he’s not a criminal mastermind and Janeway’s so angry she puts a formal reprimand on his record, she should’ve demoted him to Ensign.... oh wait. Of course this doesn’t stop him, and Kim and Tal (for tis her name) even pretty much engage in webcam sex. Eventually they have to go their separate ways and he finds out it’s a cruel quadrant. Oh and there’s a subplot involving some of the Varrons wanting to split their ship up so they can go their own way. I’ll bet the Varrons just love Voyager.

Best line in the episode has to be Kim to Tal. “When you see a Class 3 nebula think of me” How romantic. Of course, if she thinks about him when she sees a Class 2 nebula he’ll know she’s a filthy pervert.
