While well executed, the plot felt like a rehash and there’s no ‘awesome!’ moment that really makes this a high rated episode for me. Solid but not a highlight.

Dee McGee

"Two guys, a bomb, and a hologram walk into a turbolift..."

Christopher Collins

I liked how this episode was directed and this is a great episode for Harry Kim & Robert Picardo to act.

Don Eitner

To me it makes sense that the missile might have gained more sentience during the three years when it was embedded in a rock with memory damage. It had some level of AI, and during that long time of not being able to remember what it was or why it was there, and unable to move (or "feel its arms and legs") that AI developed a sort of feedback loop which caused it to expand its programming, much like The Doctor.

Brandon Kolk

I can see 24th century wine snobs being able to tell the difference between a real $13k bottle of wine and a replicated copy.

Andrew Murray

This seems on some ways, a rehash of Dreadnought, another artificially intelligent weapon of mass destruction. The "Warhead" weapon thought of itself as a "person"?... The Doctor himself expanded his own programming when given the ability by the Captain to do so. Eventually event that went haywire, when he tried to combined personalities of historical figures he thought were "good people" (or only considering their scientific achievements) and considering the cause and effect of merging such personalities; the result was "Darkling". I don't think this is the same thing. For the Doctor, the feedback loop thing was where he saved Harry's life instead of another crewman, and his ethical subroutines went into meltdown due to the conflict. His memory was wiped but he discovered the cover-up anyway. His choice to save Harry was not a logical choice, but a conscious decision (the two crewman were equally of a chance of being saved). I don't think "Warhead" was experiencing such a meltdown in the same way the Doctor did (not for the same reason) but more basically for the aim of self-preservation.

Andrew Murray

John Kretchmer Director (Warhead), Levar Burton director (dreadnought).

Andrew Murray

the (old vintage) bottle of wine should be 15,000 replicator credits, equivalent of three solid meals a day for a month otherwise.

Andrew Murray

the problem with creating the AI warhead into a hologram. Who's to say it, and the Doctor won't argue over the mobile holo-emitter and its use? I mean the doctor is pretty possessive of it.

Andrew Murray

Instead of Jenkins and Kim the spin off should be "Star Trek Voyager: The Lower Deck Chronicles"

Andrew Murray

If Tuvok had been involved he and Chakotay would have gone on the away mission, realised the thing was a weapon, beamed up and said "Mr Paris, warp 8 NOW!!!!!"

Andrew Murray

Mackenzie Westmore's Trek acting credits include are, Star Trek: Insurrection, TNG, Voyager and Picard.....

Christopher Collins

This episode reminded me of No Mad in the Original Series episode The Changeling and Professor Moriarty in the Next Generation episode Elementary Dear Data.

Christopher Collins

I honestly thought that this was a pretty good episode with an 8 or 9 ranked episode

Carole Patterson

We call them Pork scratchings in the UK . They’re usually a pub snack.

Janet K Harlow

I looked back at episode 325- Worst Case Scenario and Tom and B'Elana refer to a missed lunch date. Perhaps this was their first date which tracks with this being ep 525.

Lisa Minnesma

Loved the improv! Lol! I wonder! Could a Klingon bite be kind of like a hickey in some situations. Just picturing fan art with Tom covered in bites from B'Elanna hahaha

Lisa Minnesma

And I completely agree with Robbie. There was no hint of Tom with 7 when she first came onboard. Nope. It was always Tom and B'Elanna

sab ewell

Agreed. It's been debated for years amongst pt fans so I'm glad to know this is accurate lol it's amusing to think of Tom counting this as their first date and B'Elanna just going along with it. And then now it's set and he forgot lol

Karen Chuplis

On regular missions, I imagine they line up arrivals with "alpha" shift and the planet/ship etcs. time schedule. (Probably a better term than day night is alpha, beta and even may have been once in a while). Surprises like this would hit either. I think "night" shift is a lightly staffed time with less ship business being scheduled during those hours. I believe it was mentioned at least once on TNG that it is to keep people's days more "normal". Data's Day also shows shift changes day to night complete with lighting changes. This has to mimic like a royal navy thing.

Jill Deyoe

I can’t help but wonder if you replicate a bottle of wine or fine liquor, maybe a cognac or whiskey; what would happen if you left it in the cellar for a couple of decades. Does it “get better with age”; or do the synthesized molecules decay with age?

Lisa Minnesma

Robbie and Garrett. Thank you for starting to do BOTH “what do we remember” and the made up synopsis if you couldn’t remember it. I did notice and appreciate it! 😊 Robbie, your last 2 made up synopses made me laugh! Keep up the great work guys!

Sarah Zeisler

But would a replicated $10,000 bottle of wine taste like a REAL $10,000 bottle of wine?

Rachelle H

Makenzie was on the front credits, bc I remember thinking I know her and then they showed her name and I was like oh yeah face off and Michael's daughter

Rachelle H

Harry Kim our beloved Forever Nightshift CAPTAIN! I thought Harry was Amazing in this I understand that there were some plot holes but every show has those. Harry really has matured and this was a very good episode for Harry I would not have given a 10 because of so much yelling but definitely an 8

ST Fan CB

The premise that they scan this thing multiple times and can't tell that it is a bomb is ridiculous and kills the whole episode for me. It is the same bull in the ST Wrath of Khan where the Reliant can't tell that a planet is missing from a star system, that there are people and man made structures on the planet and they cant just beam up from inside the cargo containers. Those are crappy sensors or the science officer needs to fired. Klingon Floor Wrestling = Tonsil Hockey = The Naked Mambo
