Re: OVEG: Tinker, Tenor, Doctor, Spy Review
So is this Chuck meltdown one or ten? Overall, fine review for a doctor episode that was a bit more then fucked up, but good. 
Though watching that Doctor/Janeway bit must've fried more then a few bits.

Voyager would have been a much better show when they would have given Picardo a much larger role. He can pull off weak scripts.

Then, it seems that the only way to survive is to use the means of the enemy, to rest survival upon what is expedient, to look the other way. Well, the answer to that is 'survival as what'?

Re: OVEG: Tinker, Tenor, Doctor, Spy Review
They'd pretty much figured that out by the end of the run. It seemed like every other episode was either a Doctor episode or a Seven episode. To be fair they were probably the most interesting characters. Having the whole 'striving to be more human' shtick going on.

Yeah, but Seven's arc got consistently stupider. Especially with that whole Chakotey thing coming out of left field....Crazedwraith wrote:They'd pretty much figured that out by the end of the run.

I didn't really like the Hierarchy, but I suppose for their purpose in this episode, their bumbling looks and stupidity perfectly fit in with the rest of its silliness. (Though in all fairness, they may have just been a gigantic homage to Dr. Who anyway... Although I don't know how bumbling the Sontarans actually were in that series. 
)
The Doctor opera at the beginning is probably one of my most favorite moments of Voyager, and those translated lyrics were hilarious!

"I could while away the hours, conferrin' with the flowers, consultin' with the rain.
And my head I'd be scratchin', while my thoughts were busy hatchin', if I only had a brain!
I would not be just a nothin', my head all full of stuffin', my heart all full of pain.
I would dance and be merry, life would be would be a ding-a-derry, if I only had a brain!"

Somehow missed this episode over the years, but that was good 
Dont think I've had a good laugh like that in long time, especially when it looked like someone cut off the oxygen or something during the Janeway/Doc scene Bravo!

Bravo!"Of course, what would really happen is that in Game 7, with the Red Sox winning 20-0 in the 9th inning, with two outs and two strikes on the last Cubs batter, a previously unseen meteor would strike the earth, instantly and forever wiping out all life on the planet, and forever denying the Red Sox a World Series victory..."
Re: OVEG: Tinker, Tenor, Doctor, Spy Review
This is easily my second favorite VGR episode (after "Latent Image"). Also possibly the funniest episode in all of Trek.
