Episode 133: Virtuoso



Today’s episode is sponsored by music and smugness. Which wouldn’t have made a bad title for it really.

Janeway gives some medical help to the Komar and they’re completely condescending to the Doctor as they see him as beneath them (They’re an advanced race you see, not that they’re really tall.) Wait until they meet Neelix. Then the Doctor starts singing to himself in front of them and having inexplicably never heard of music before they fawn over him. Mind you they wouldn’t have heard of Justin Bieber either, so it’s not all bad. The Doctor performs recitals for them on Voyager with Harry also playing a saxophone solo but the Komar don’t care. See? Everybody likes Doctor. Nobody likes Harry. After the recital it’s onto the homeworld and appearing at concerts (after redesigning the lecture theatre). Voyager going to Earth? Nah, don’t think so. Needless to say the Doctor is loving all the adulation just like a reality show winner so when one of the Komar wants him to stay with her he jumps at it. Janeway isn’t too thrilled with having her only Doctor want to leave. They can’t make a copy? No wonder the Komar look down on them. Unsurprisingly the Komar eventually figure out that they can make their own singing hologram. The Doctor’s fame quickly disappears just like a reality show winner, making him look like an idiot, just like a.... Anyway, he comes back to Voyager and they set a course for Earth, probably.
