Not much to say here but I love this episode and looking forward to if or when the next "possibility" of being home episode comes.

Rocky hate Mark

I can imagine Alex screaming at me “She’s a person!” because I don’t address the Siri program on my phone as a person.

I was rather flakey in following VOY first-run, but when I saw the trailer for this episode, I made sure to check it out, such an intriguing premise promised (yes, they revealed the Romulan in the trailer, including the scene of him beaming onto the ship). Episode didn't disappoint in meeting my expectations. /still, kinda' also felt the rug-pull twist ending was needlessly cruel to the crew

One of the better episodes of ALL of Star Trek- kudos from a DS9 fan....well paced, multiple twists, insights into characters, and scientifically hangs together for us geeks (I was a math and physics major so I hate when the techno-babble is babble)

This was the first episode of Voyager that I liked a lot. As for the review itself, loved the last part about what future reviewers will think of the episode. ;)

I love the discussions about what makes life a lot, but I think sometimes it's easy to look at these in Star Trek and say "That's so silly! Why wouldn't they recognise that it's alive?". I remember the reaction to "Quality of Life" and there were several points where Alex made a joke about "Why is this doctor so opposed to having created life?", which I think misses the point. They overlook the fact that it's life because they made it. When we (society as well as people) think that we created something, we think we own it, we control it, and therefore it is what we made it to be. It can't be alive, because we didn't make it to be that. It's not making decisions, it's following a set programmed course of action. The things that make it look alive, are just things we did to make it look that way. The question then becomes at what point it ceases to simply be a "thing". We currently interact with all manner of AI today (I'm not positing that any of them are alive), and we accept that they are not alive in that sense. If Grok, or ChatGPT, or Claude suddenly started saying "I don't like the weird shit that people are asking me" nobody would say "Holy shit! This is alive!" we would all likely say "It's just malfunctioning and acting in a way that a human might, because we programmed it with human tendencies". Elon reprograms Grok every time it says something he doesn't like already. In the universe of Star Trek, people would be even more interactive with these types of technologies. Automated vehicles capable of anticipating your needs, assistants that can actively schedule your life and carry on a conversation. Care robots or programs designed to assist the elderly etc. As well as the biggest of all - the holodeck - capable of simulating entire environments. Everyone would be so used to seeing these types of devices that if someone just randomly turned around and said "Hey, that space vacuum you're using doesn't want to go into that dangerous situation anymore" everyone else would most likely say "Don't be silly, it can't make that choice." We need to enjoy these stories from the outside, so that we can absorb a message, but I think we still need to acknowledge that "in universe" this would be strange to those people.

This was the first episode of Voyager that I genuinely loved. Easy S from me.

Oh damn, your phrasing there, "needlessly cruel", immediately made me remember a later episode (that I love, to be clear!) that may be cruellest Star Trek episode of anything, in my opinion. I hope it's one you haven't seen, it's nice to think that other people are experiencing Voyager fresh alongside Josh & Alex :)

Imogen S

I think I must be missing something, can anyone tell me what Josh means by "the endgame timeline"?

Target Audience

I’m referencing the movie Avengers: Endgame, which deals with branch timelines.

Imogen S

Ah the man himself! OK that makes sense, ta! I know next to nothing of the MCU, the only Marvel film I've seen in maybe 15-20 years is No Way Home because Spidermen 😅

Yes Kate Mulgrew does a great job always delivering on time. I first saw in Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins as an additional supporting cast. That's a fun little flick BTW. It was a TV show that became a movie instead.

Dru Blood

Great characters moments and imaginative bunch of twists. Loved the doctor from day one and the debate of is he alive and sentient or just programming. This Voyager journey is so awesome, glad to be experiencing it with you both. 🖖

Mister CPU

Missed opportunity for stunt casting: Bob Denver as the Romulan.

Science solution to the 20 years in the past problem includes use near light speed travel for 20 years of time dilation and them warp home a few days after Voyager disappears.

I've mostly watched VOY through at least once, though that was fifteen years ago, so a few don't remember as well. Still, the more 'infamous' ones do have a way of sticking with long after. ;)
