Stardate 51929.3 • Encountering a deadly radioactive nebula, Captain
Janeway decides to save time by going through rather than around it and orders the crew into protective stasis
chambers with Seven of Nine to take lonely command. With the entire crew now in cryogenic sleep, and only the Doctor
for company, Seven of Nine is the only living being walking the ship's hallways. The long and lonely journey through
the nebula begins to play tricks on the former Borg's mind as she experiences what humans call "hallucinations."
An alien, Trajis Lo-Tarik, also making his way through the nebula, asks to trade some vital supplies, but his presence
unleashes a series of events that Seven can't decipher as to whether they are real threats -- or even if Trajis
himself is real.
Here we go again. A great script and who does it belong
to? Why 7 of course. SIGH. Still, it's great. I even like 7 in this episode and there is some really great acting
by Jeri Ryan. The episode is tense and exciting. But please...give us more of this with the other characters as
well. Otherwise this will get boring too. Rating 9/10.

Stardate 51978.2 • The badly damaged encoded message received from Starfleet
Command five months ago is finally translated by Arturis, an alien passenger recently invited onboard, whose species
has a great affinity for language. The directive brings Voyager to a spacecraft, emitting a distinctive Starfleet
warp signature, but totally unlike any Starfleet vessel known. With a propulsion system faster than warp speed,
the ship is capable of bringing the Voyager crew to Earth - crossing 60,000 light years within just three months.
The crew is elated, but Captain Janeway expresses caution, even though they are all secretly hoping to be home
very, very soon. While the crew's excitement grows, so does Seven of Nine's anxiety about living among billions
of humans. She asks Captain Janeway to let her depart Voyager and roam the Delta Quadrant on her own.
One of my favorite episodes this season! Sure it's yet
again 7 and Janeway that are in the center, but the other characters get good stuff to do as well and the story
is really good. Sure it's predictable. I mean it's obvious that the starfleet message and ship is some kind of
fake. Even so it's still intriguing and keeps the tension throughout the episode. And finally-some really great
moments between 7 and Janeway where they don't come out as two biquering idiots. Janeway remains the Captain and
7 the young, intelligent person that needs to learn and grow and take advice and actually does that here. Wonderful!
Just what I asked for. Also we get a great chat between Janeway and Chakotay. It feels as if the producers and
writers have seen the shortcomings of the season and are trying to make up for them. And that in a tremendous way!
This episode will be rerun on my video many times. For my absolute enjoyment: Rating 10/10.
