Captain's Log
Season 5
Video 5.13
Warhead 8.5
Episode 119
After the U.S.S. Voyager receives a distress signal from an alien missile,
Ensign Kim, Torres and The Doctor determine that it's a complex, damaged weapon with artificial intelligence and
sentient consciousness. But when they beam this mysterious device aboard, it interlinks with The Doctor's program
and through him, insists the U.S.S. Voyager enable it to fulfill its mission of mass destruction.
Now this episode does not win any points for having an
intelligent plot. Beaming aboard a sentient bomb???? Seroiusly!!!!??!!! However, the epsiode has too many redeeming
qualities that actually make this one of the better episodes this season. It's an episode with character development,
some for the doctor but most of all for Harry Kim. The bridge scene with Harry and the night crew are real treats.
And both Janeway and Chakotay trust Harry when it's needed. This is character show and as such it's great! Rating
8.5/10

Episode 120
The U.S.S. Voyager finds another Federation starship lost in the Delta
Quadrant, the science vessel U.S.S. Equinox, and helps it stave off an attack by creatures from another spatial
realm. Captain Janeway now has a kindred spirit in its commander, Captain John Ransom, and helps him salvage his
war-torn vessel so they can journey home together. But when The Doctor retrieves data from the U.S.S. Equinox research
lab, Janeway learns the hard truth that Captain Ransom has seriously violated the Starfleet oath by commiting mass
murder in the Delta Quadrant. When she strips him of his command and confines him to quarters, he and his crew
manage to escape with the U.S.S. Voyager's advanced technology - and The Doctor and Seven of Nine as hostages aboard
their ship.
This is a very good show. Top quality. It's a great moralic
dilemma, but still no dispute as where the lines should be drawn. It's also an exciting story with great character
interaction and a Captain Janeway that acts great! One glitch..."You never broke the Prime Directive Kathryn,
seriuosly????" Anyhow, rating 9.5/10
