Captain's Log
Season 3
Video 3.12
Distant origin 9
Episode 65
The Voyager crew are unwitting research subjects after scientists of
the Voth race,
saurian-like aliens who believe they were the first intelligent beings to evolve in the Delta Quadrant, discover
the human remains of a Starship Voyager crewman - Lieutenant Hogan killed in the episode Basics, part II - and
find a genetic pattern similar to their own. When Gegen, the chief researcher, suggests that based on these findings,
the true origin of the Voth is Earth, their leader, Minister Odala, deems him a heretic. To prove his theory, Gegen
and his assistant Veer track down the U.S.S. Voyager, infiltrate the ship and take their next research subject,
Chakotay, hostage.
This is an original story with a fresh outlook on things.
We get to see it through the eyes of the aliens. Wonderful! It's very amusing to learn of the mating rituals and
matriarchy of the mammal, inferior, species called humans. This is much the same way we treat and draw conclusions,
about new species, races and archeological finds. The end to this story is not amusing however, it's on the contrary
very serious and a fitting end to this great story-even if I prefer completely happy ends. Rating 9/10.

Displaced 9
Episode 66
Stardate 50912.4 • One by one, Janeway's crew suddenly and mysteriously
trades places with mercurial aliens from Nyria Three. As Janeway quickly becomes surrounded by these seemingly
perplexed strangers who react strongly to the ship's temperature and lights, she must scramble to keep control
of her ship. Meanwhile her confused crew is transplanted to an idyllic yet artificial world.
Yet another alien invasion story, however we get to skip
mindinvaders this time. It's quite a predictable story, it doesn't take much to figure out that they are kept prisoners
on a ship for instance. Yet after a slow start, the story gets better and I really liked it. There is a cool Janeway,
improvising Tuvok, great interaction between B'Elanna and Paris and it's quite exciting towards the end. Real good.
For my enjoyment:Rating 9/10.
