My enjoyment of this episode pair stems from an argument I had in High School at the time this series aired. Voyager is in the Delta Quadrant. Far from any Starfleet or Federation support. Yet she is always relatively clean, inside and outside. She's been in a number a scraps in the four or so years she'd been in the Delta Quadrant at this point, she should look like the Voyager we see during this episode. Battle scarred, or have a patched appearance to her to cover up some of the hull breaches she got during the years. This was the main reason I liked this episode...this is what U.S.S. Voyager should have looked like after coming out of Kazon Space. Beat up. This was something they did get right in Enterprise's third season...accumulated damage remains if one does not have the facilities to fully repair the vessel...especially the hull. Sure they might be able to replace hull plates, but the carbon scoring should remain from the pieces they don't need to replace. |

The episode was alright right up to the reset. I don't particularly like episodes that make a huge leap and then nothing is gained by it. It seems fine if it involves time travel or another dimention, but this one just seems all wrong. Basically there will be no one that will know what this Demon crew did...expect maybe the species they encountered that Voyager herself never seems to meet. I would have liked this story to have had at least some impact on the real Voyager crew...a log book even, just so the Demon crew was not something pointless that will never have any meaning for either the Voyager crew, nor perhaps the Federation (unless of course...Starfleet goes back out this way someday, but that would be up to the writers of some yet unthought of series). |
