I am going to say that i am on the latter side of that diacomety in regards to the Comedy of this episode, but still good reveiw.

Also, the Shatner bit is something i really agree with.

LMAO...thank you for bringing up the Tom bit with Kim. Overall, enjoyable as a review for an episode that is strange fetish fuel of Trek stupidity.

I both like the episode (because it was better than most Voyager episodes) and fully agree with the review.

Had Star Trek gone the distance and really made this a story about the Doctor betraying Seven's trust and the ramifications of that, it would have been good drama IMO.

A decision must be made in the life of every nation at the very moment when the grasp of the enemy is at its throat. 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'? A country isn't a rock. It's not an extension of one's self. It's what it stands for. It's what it stands for when standing for something is the most difficult! - Chief Judge Haywood

Body swapping is a well worn TV sci-fi cliche', Farscape really got into that with Scorpius' neural clone, but Jeri Ryan pulled it off better than David Tennant and Billie Piper from DW and William Shatner (as entertaining as he is, intentionally or unintentionally) was so hammy in "Turnabout Intruder" you'd thought a pig farm had burned down.

'Secondly, I don't see why "income inequality" is a bad thing. Poverty is not an injustice. There is no such thing as causes for poverty, only causes for wealth. Poverty is not a wrong, but taking money from those who have it to equalize incomes is basically theft, which is wrong.' - Typical Randroid
