Course: Oblivion

I don' t dislike this series. I've given lots of nines and tens along the way. But this is an utter contrivance. The Demon Planet ended and Voyage got out. There must have been a Demon Voyager around somewhere. Who were those people waving at the end? This is just a cheap plot, constructed with a ridiculous. It's like the worst of the original Twilight Zone. Maybe there should be some explanation. I give up.

There's only a handful of moments in classic Star Trek that bring tears to my eyes and this episode is one of them. Great writing and perfect execution. The writers of the new trek shows at CBS should take this as an example of how you do emotional scenes right. Not a single character cries and still I feel their despair and sadness.

This is simply one of my fave episodes in all the treks. It's one of the ones that I bring up as an example for people "who don't like Star Trek" (or sci-fi). It's a great story and kinda knocks you sideways - requires pre-viewing of an earlier episode this season. I don't like spoilers so I'm being vague - hopefully someone who appreciates that sees this before the other reviews. Enjoy!

Review over but stupid minimum character requirement forces me to continue in a long winded-way that: this episode is fantastic. It's surprising, and clever, and unexpected. I particularly like the quality and the skill that was apparent. There. I've met the poorly conceived rule's requirements of six hundred mandatory letters.

Since when did 7 of 9 get cloned ? It wqs never explained ... Kinda weird..

Since the demon planet Voyager has encountered the Borg several times, seven of nine was briefly abducted and used as a weapon to defeat mankind. A transwarp coil was stolen and used which then shaved "several decades and thousands of lightyears" of Voyagers journey towards the alpha-quadrant. Monsters were defeated and space-vagrants rescued.

Or did any of that really happen? If this is the "canon" Voyager then travelling backwards towards the demon planet would take decades, however in this episode they said it should only take about six months? There seems to be some indications that this isn't the case here.

If this isn't the "canon" Voyager then none of what you've watched from the demon planet up until this point has happened and we can kill off this crew safely. But then why would they ever bump into the original Voyager which must have used the transwarp coil? The writing is crumbling at this point.

I don't think this episode fitted into the general Narrative of the Voyager series as it felt so far but opinions are ofc divided. Perhaps it would have found a better home in an older iteration of star-trek? It seems like a poorly thought-out episode with some gaping logical loopholes embedded into it. The disgusting faces of the duplicate crew, which kind of wants to make me puke only reinforced the feeling that I am watching something that could have been good but was so poorly executed that it ended up pure garbage.
