Fun Stuff

Goofs:

Plot holes: The Enterprise was thrown 990.7 light-years from the planet they were investigating, then return in about 1 day. However in "Star Trek: Voyager", it's established that it will take 70 years to travel the 70,000 light-years back to Federation space. With the rate stated in this episode, Voyager should've return in little over a month. more

This isn't a bad episode, though it certainly isn't a good one. The problem, though, that makes this such a mediocre episode is the character Lee Merriwether plays--she's robotic in all her ways and this ISN'T conducive to creating a memorable character. I do understand WHY they chose to have her play the part that way, but still, there was just so little life in the show and having SOMETHING exciting occur would have helped. Perhaps Lee could have been seductive or more "real" and then lure the people to their death or perhaps another plot element could have been added. All I know is that the plot was thin and so was the action. While mildly interesting, this isn't a glowing endorsement and this episode is pretty typical of many of the lower quality episodes of season 3.
