A play of Voyager is performed in an open auditorium about Torres and Harry crashing on a planet. The audience like it so much they applaud, well so much for realism. Mind you the story was only one minute long, just like the plot in season six episodes! I’m here all week. The writer, Kelis, has Torres tied up in her shuttle and wants more stories from her about Voyager or the Eternals, as he calls them. Tied up and this is what he wants? Typical writer no imagination. Torres agrees if he’ll release her but when he does she makes him leave. Torres has no luck getting power to the shuttle and eventually when Kelis comes back he recognises Dilithium as ‘Winters Tears’. Torres agrees to give him more stories in return for the Dilithium thus heading off the first Writer’s Strike on this planet. The actors in the play have difficulty coming to terms with Vulcans and no emotions and the character of Seven. Worlds are colliding! Meanwhile on Voyager, Paris is laughing at Tuvok, never mind he was angry with grief in the scene before this. Back on the planet, thankfully, one of the actresses who is in love with Kelis warns Torres off him and wants her gone as soon as possible. Eventually Harry arrives and they are able to get in touch with Voyager, but first Torres goes back to give him the ending to his play by being within the play. She tells Kelis he must say goodbye to her as she is returning to the Eternals and beams away.
I actually quite liked this one. I would’ve liked it more without the needless Voyager segments. I wish on the show they had the courage of their convictions and didn’t go back to the ship all the time. Probably why Distant Origins was so good.
