I like that there are others out there that don't automatically fawn over the official "fan favorite" episodes and at the same time find something positive in the supposed stinkers. Thank you!<br /><br />This one was a total bore. I never get into it the rare times I watch it. I just binge-watched this part of the season the day before yesterday and all I could think when Marayna showed her real face was that she really, REALLY reminded me of Wixiban from "Fair Trade" and I couldn't stop laughing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4400152815785368447.post-85934143782043043152019-08-22T04:02:54.890-05:002019-08-22T04:02:54.890-05:00There's no denying this is warmed over leftove...There's no denying this is warmed over leftovers, but I rather enjoy it. Tuvok's advice was on the nose as you say, but then that's the point. We see the way he reasons, which gets him by a different route to the same conclusion as Geordi reached about being in love iwth a holo deck character: Eventually, you have to turn the programme off and walk away. And that's the advice Geordi gave to Barclay.<br /><br />As for Marayna falling for Tuvok, she saw him alone in a crowd, and felt for him. Solitude vs. desiring company is what her character is all about. So I found her attraction quite natural, and find confirmation in her final words to him: She sensed the same conflict in Tuvok that he diagnosed in her. Although romance was out of the question, they did find enjoyment and use in each other.<br /><br />Though I am a Tuvok fan, so I may be biased. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4400152815785368447.post-54997907911842158042015-03-26T21:43:49.574-05:002015-03-26T21:43:49.574-05:00Very much agreed on character interactions.

It's what keeps a 1 off the table for me - because the plot itself is very weak.matthewweflenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07540521459703556959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4400152815785368447.post-54888522678120654942015-03-26T17:51:29.851-05:002015-03-26T17:51:29.851-05:00I think Kim asking Tuvok to teach him how to suppr...I think Kim asking Tuvok to teach him how to suppress his emotions was en par with Kim's character and overall immaturity and youthful naivety. It was almost like a 12 year old asking his pilot dad if he could teach him. .The fact that Tuvok took it seriously and actually DID, is another story. <br /><br />The interaction of Voyager characters and their relationships with one another is always very interesting to me . I love watching these people interact. There is real camaraderie between them, it doesnt feel forced. Like when Kim is depressed and Paris replicates a Daddy-o Hawaii T shirt for him or whatever it was or when Paris is jealous that B'Elanna is going to have dinner with Vorrik or when Paris gives Kim shit for his choice of (unavailable) women etc. I enjoy this episode for these reasons. It is nice to see Trek characters be out of their stuffy uniforms and interact on a personal level. poppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09064123327462038174noreply@blogger.com
