The U.S.S. Voyager activates an automated message from members of the
Kohl settlement, who, years earlier, survived an environmental catastrophe by submitting themselves into artificial
hibernation. When the crew transports the Kohl's hibernation pods on board, they find humanoids in deep stasis
with suppressed metabolic activity -- but with active minds and complex sensory systems controlled by a computer.
This must be one of the weirdest Voyager shows up to
date. However as the episode progressed I became more and more intrigued. This show deals with the subject of fear
in a very intelligent, creative and refreshing way and also manages to see it through to the end.
Rating 9.5/10.

A Bizarre occurrence causes Neelix and Tuvok, who are attempting to transport
back to the U.S.S. Voyager from an away mission, to arrive aboard the ship as one. The crew is astonished when
a strange but oddly familiar alien humanoid with dark speckled skin and pointy ears - which is neither Tuvok nor
Neelix - appears. The Doctor's bio-scanner shows that Neelix and Tuvok's patterns have merged, causing the pair
to become one entity: Tuvix.
Another good show about a moralic dilemma. Janeway is
forced to make a hard and unwanted decision-however inevitable-proving the hardships of being a leader. This show
deals with the issue of leadership as well as loosing that which you love and how to face the hope and despair.
There are some touching moments between Janeway and Kes accompanied by some great acting. I like Tuvix, a pity
we couldn't keep him as well as Tuvok and Neelix. One thing I missed was the unexplored possibilities of the impact
made by Tuvix on Tuvok and Neelix. Rating 8/10.
