Tinker Tenor Doctor Spy

Star trek TNG and Voyager were my two favorite shows of the ST universe. And every once in a while I go on binges where I watch favorite episodes of both and this by far is one of my favorite Voyager episodes.

Mainly because it just exploits things that aren't the status quo such that we get to see the actors so out of normal character, that and I love it when they bring comedy into such a serious show as this, and repeatedly throughout the episode. Robert totally stole the show, as he should considering this episode was all about him anyway. But what's great is it really lets him shine as he is such a fine and versatile actor, plus you get to see and hear him sing, yes that's his voice...

Outside of the obvious comedic situations is the more subtle looks & gestures from the rest of the crew during such situations, in way too many scenes to mention, which makes an already hilarious episode even more over the top. I can only imagine how fun this episode much have been to film.

ST universe is normally a pretty serious universe with humor spliced in here and there, which is what makes this episode so special, that and we get to see a wider range of acting from our family of actors in this show. Makes me laugh again and again every time I see this episode. 10/10!

Possibly the worst Star Trek (any series) episode that didn't include Wil Wheaton.

This is another light hearted interruption to the more serious stuff. The Doctor has begun making demands due to his skill set. He sends a letter to Janeway, asking for promotions. Being a hologram, he has no status when it comes to Starfleet rank. He begins to daydream about doing all kinds of heroic things. A group of salvage ships that attack starships and steal their valuable cargo and technology has spotted them. But they are in for a surprise. A delightful episode.

This is a very funny and unusual episode for the Doctor. He apparently has been altering himself by creating a subroutine that allows him to daydream. His daydreams are hilarious and involve him being more like a super-hero than just a holo doctor. He repeatedly saves the day and in one case he destroys a Borg cube single- handedly and becomes a major chick-magnet!! In another, he sings a lovely aria with hilarious lyrics as he takes out a crazed Tuvok who is experiencing Pom Far. He also is a great painter in another and is trying his hand at painting a naked Seven of Nine! What's even funnier is that an alien race is secretly watching Voyager and they can see the Doctor's fantasies and believe they are real!! So, when they attack the Federation, they know they'll have their hands full with this holo doctor!! What's next in this silly little episode?!

The bottom line is that this is one of the funniest episodes of the series and repeatedly made me smile. Plus, I always have loved the Doctor on the show--so it's nice to see him the star in this one. For me, it's everything I wanted. And, it's the one chance you can get to see Captain Doctor!

By the way, Seven's final conversation with the Doctor....priceless!

It is no coincidence that the highest rating episodes all star the 'Doctor'.

Such a versatile actor who outshines the rest.

This is a great episode.
