Someone to Watch Over Me

I never imagined the funniest episode of Voyager would center around Seven of Nine. "This creature has an exoskeleton".

The main plot of this one involves Seven of Nine learning more social skills. The Doctor and Tom Paris make a bet about her potential, with the Doctor coaching her on.

A Sub-plot involves an ambassador from a bland culture visiting the ship and Neelix in charge of his well-being. Scott Thompson (The Kids in the Hall & The Larry Saners Show) plays the ambassador in a hilarious performance.

We also meet a crew member on the ship who isn't killed after speaking 2 lines, and he has a personality. He's the one Seven of Nine asks to dinner.

This one is more about laughs and singing and Seven of Nine's feelings, showing she does have a heart beneath the catsuit and Borg Impants. This one is worth the watching for Scott Thompson alone.

To me this is the best episode of Star Trek Voyager. I think that The Doctor and Seven Of Nine are by far the best characters and this episode is almost entirely about them. Seven is very funny in an understated way and The Doctor is extremely charming and charismatic. I have autism and so I relate to Seven Of Nine a lot. The side story is fun enough, but the best part is The Doctor teaching Seven all about dating and social skills. Seven Of Nine really is my dream woman, she is stunningly beautiful, but also smart and kind, and there are no annoying mental games with her, she will just tell you exactly how she feels at all times, and I like that a lot. I wish she was my wife. P. S. My God what a body! WOOF!

Yes, it is an intergalactic "My Fair Lady." The doctor has been teaching Seven social integration. She is, of course, quite a challenging student. He decides it's time for her to start dating. So she chooses a shy man from engineering and asks him out. Of course, it is an utter disaster. But as this happens, the Doc (Henry Higgins) begins to feel a romantic attraction for our Borg bombshell. Jeri Ryan is perfection in her role. She connects with him, but we have to remember that her circuitry works differently. She admires her successes but doesn't quite cross the threshold. There are some seriously touching scenes. Meanwhile, a subplot is the adventures of a young man from a sterile planetary society going bonkers when he finally gets to spread his wings, overeating, overindulging, and carrying on in general. Neelix almost has a heart attack tracking the guy.

Awful Awful just Awful. Cringefest. It just doesn't work. It's embarrassing. Words fail me how bad this dire episode plays out.

We know the Dr can sing. It's nice that we find out 7 can also sing .

So why do we have to crowbar this ability into an inept episode.

I don't watch Star Trek for this kind of simplistic mellodrama. It is so desperately disappointing and at least a waste of electricity to view it.

No more simplistic melodramas please !

We know the Dr can sort of sing. It's nice that we find out 7 can also. Sort of sing .

So why do we have to wedge this ability into a dire episode.
