Voyager are under attack from some Hazari bounty hunters. They know this because Professor Seven Von Borg of course knows the species. Janeway attempts to find out who paid them but they aren’t saying and the bad news is there’s no Sarlaac monsters nearby to threaten them with. The good news for Janeway though is that an alien Jason Alexander turns up with his Team Think Tank of very intelligent alien problem solvers to help her, I guess they’re the A+ Team. They of course have a price, in this case it’s Seven, that’s Seven Of Nine not $7. Seven will go if it will save the ship but it transpires that the Think Tank as part of a convoluted plan paid the bounty hunters so they could get Seven in the first place. Janeway and Seven then trick the Think Tank into revealing themselves and warp away as they’re destroyed by the bounty hunters, which was nice of them.
There were a couple of Janeway lines that were they not written three years before it aired I’d have sworn they were by a someone wanting to do CSI Miami. I mean at the end Janeway says to the Think Tank, "I'm sure you'll find a solution. Just give it some … thought.". She couldn’t find her sunglasses though.
One thing I did like was the design of the aliens in Think Tank. It harkened back to the aliens of season one of TNG when it wasn’t just weird nose/forehead of the week. However then Jason Alexander’s character showed up and had a weird forehead.
