Lieutenant Paris makes history by becoming the first person to make a
transwarp flight. But soon after his shuttle returns from warp ten he undergoes startling biochemistry changes.
I must say I was very curious of this episode. It's been,
by some, rated as the worst trek ever, at least the worst Voyager ever. However I found myself enjoying it. ;-))
The first half of the story was exciting but then it quickly evolved ;.)) into some silly, gory, weird, not plausible
solution to the problem, trash. So Paris the lizard is future man? Come on guys, seriously!!!
But, I still enjoyed this silly trash at times. The Paris/Janeway offspring were kinda cute, ha? :-)))) Rating
5/10.

Episode 32
When a crew member is murdered, Tuvok's investigation leads to another
crewman, Ensign Suder, who finally admits he is the perpetrator. Vulcan instincts prohibit Tuvok from determining
a logical motive for committing such a crime, so he attempts to understand the violent impulses of a criminal by
performing a mind-meld on Suder.
We get to enter the Vulcan mind with a twist. This is
a story about good and evil, trying to look at it from a scientific point of view. It has it's moments but is not
a satisfactory study of good and evil, it never digs deep enough, and the story is besides that quite boring at
times. Still for learning more of Tuvok and for the effort of dealing with tough subjects-Rating 5.5/10.
