    Unfortunately, at least for me, it was the second-worst Voyager episode after the one LD infuriatingly confirmed to be canon. You know which one. I’m not even going to say it.

    • I’m not up on all of the Voyager stuff; it was one of the ST offspring that never resonated with me.

      LD is constantly referring to other series; there’s a vast amount of data to have to skim to guess which you think is the worst; which episode was it that you have allergic reaction to?

        Episode spoiler:

        spoiler

        The Voyager crew discover a new type of dilithium (warp core fuel) that can make space ships go faster than the generally accepted limit of warp 10. No one has ever gone faster than that, but it will get the crew home instantly, instead of the 70 year journey it’s currently facing.

        One crew member, Lt. Tom Paris tests it out in a shuttle craft, gets to see “everything everywhere all at once” but then upon return quickly becomes allergic to water and oxygen.

        The Doctor realizes he is evolving into something other than human before he escapes sick bay and kidnaps Captain Janeway for another faster than warp 10 experience. They end up on a swampy planet, turned into giant salamanders and by the time the crew finds them they have already produced three offspring.

        The babies escape capture and presumably go on to sire a race of Janeway/Paris salamander creatures on a distant planet in the Delta Quadrant. Janeway and Paris get turned back into humans and they don’t try breaking warp 10 again. IDK why people don’t like it.

        You won’t me say it. It’s the word for the thing husbands are supposed to carry their bride over when they go home as a married couple for the first time.

        I’m not going further than that.

      You’re clearly pretty good at Star Trek. So close.

      It was the one where Chakotay keeps fighting in some weird boxing ring.

      Edit: the episode was called “Tonkatsu” because that’s what Neelix was cooking that day.

        So close. That’s the Fight. It was the episode where Tom broke the law to save that ocean planet

        The episode was obviously called Tsunami

          So close. It was the episode where 7/9 insecurities made her act all tough and mean, but the crew help her realize the “human” part inside her is warm and loving.

          The episode was obviously call Tsundere.

            So close. It was the episode where the Voyager space ship fires onto a ground target in a heavily forested area on an inhabited planet. The crew did not realize that they had entered a temporal distortion and traveled back to Earth in 1908.

            The episode was called Tunguska

          So close. That’s the Travel, it was the episode where Kes comes back and wreaks havoc on Voyager. Janeway travels back in time, again, this time to deter Kes from doing something bad.

          I don’t remember the episode’s Name

        Excuse me sir but you are incorrect, in this one Seven and Tuvok are captured and Seven is forced to fight

          Ah right and the guy telepathically implants violent thoughts which they accuse Seven of originating. Which she gets arrested for. And Tuvok figures it out. It was titled “Implanted Thoughts” right?

        My dad watched. I missed a lot.

        Also, I kinda dislike overused tropes and the “arena” one especially.

            I thought it was pretty good. The main bad guy was our darling Jeffrey Combs, and the grizzled mentor Hirogen that taught Seven was cool

              Glad you enjoyed it, but to me it felt exceptionally cynical, even more so than other marketing inspired crossovers. The particular way the crew became so keen about wrestling for this one episode was so ingenuine.

              Combs is always nice to see, of course.
