VOY: Warlord

[Zor]

One point that i am just going to make is the name of the Villian. Along with the season-3 trend of really direct names there are really direct villian names.

My favorite part of this episode is where Kes and the warlord engage in a mental duel, and the scene ends with

Kes: "I won't stop until you're broken and helpless. There's nowhere you can go to get away from me. I'll be relentless, and merciless, just. Like. You."

Cut to the warlord awakening, and she's kept him occupied for hours and he is TERRIFIED.

It was an okay review but not the best. However, there was a great line in the comments, which I saw despite my usual stance against reading Youtube comments.

Someone said, "Jesus Chuck what the hell do you have against Janeway."
His reply: "Please, "Chuck" is fine, there's no need to refer to me as "Jesus Chuck". I'm pretty sure that man's leprosy would have cleared up even if I hadn't touched him."

I laughed.


EDIT: I think it's that usual "not much material you can really work with in a mediocre episode" thing. The best reviews come out of the best and worst episodes.

"Warlord" is a fairly solid character/action based episode and alongside "Before and After" my favourite episode centred around Kes, I think a final score of 7/10 is more appropriate for this episode rather than "Flashforward", which is more of a 5/10 rated episode (due to a couple of plotholes and it didn't stand a chance against DS9's "Trial and Tribble-ations").
