.. and they lived happily ever after 🤍
“Death Wish” (S02E14, Stardate 49301.2) is a thought-provoking, and at times very uncomfortable episode. The idea of suicide explored through immortal beings is unique, and the fact that there are no neat or tidy answers at the end is very realistic. I just struggle to find a real victory here, for anyone.
Kind of looks like an indie drama coming to a theater near you, don’t you think?
VOY hits on a high-concept episode in “Deadlock” (S02E21, Stardate 49548.7). 2 ships that cannot share the same “heart”, a ticking clock, and a creative use of resurrecting a dead crewman. The only real knocks I have are in how easily Harry escapes the doomed ship and how the crew effects such rapid repairs
“Resolutions” (S02E25, Stardate 49690.1) is a massive disappointment. Sure, blame the network for wanting episodic TV. But Janeway/Chakotay was not addressed at all onboard VOY. Tuvok was routinely undermined and second-guessed. The only saving grace was C/J letting their hair down on New Earth.
I thought about featuring Chakotay’s bathtub he built for Janeway or the monkey for my poster, but neither one felt right. So this is what I landed on.
