Episode 134: Memorial


“Hi, I’m Memorial, you might remember me from such Voyager stories as Remember

Harry, Paris, Neelix and Chakotay are on a shuttle. No, this isn’t a joke, boy is it not a joke. They’ve been away looking at planets or something and everyone’s getting on Harry’s nerves.* Once back on Voyager they begin to get agitated and have memories being involved in an atrocity (Well...nah, too easy). Eventually Janeway realises that this is to do with the away team and get them together. It transpires that the team have memories of killing colonists on a planet which involves lots of shouting! SHOUTING at each other, SHOUTING at Janeway! Then Janeway has the memories and it’s somehow started to affect the entire crew. Cue more SHOUTING! Good thing no-one on board has a hangover. Somehow amidst all the shouting they figure out the planet that’s involved and travel there. Once they beam down it becomes clear that this atrocity happened three hundred years ago in the least surprising twist since Nemesis. Then comes more shouting as they argue whether to turn off the transmitter that puts the memories into people’s heads. Janeway decides no, quite right, I’m sure being agitated at the wrong moment won’t result in anything bad happening.

When Paris arrives back at his quarters at the start Torres has cartoons and beer ready for him. Good to see someone knows what’s what on that ship.

*Irony alert.
