Once again we get to see Tuvok written like an Enterprise Vulcan a few years early-An uncaring bastard.
It's times like these I think that Voyager might have been a decent show if they'd made themselves into an actual dark parody of Star Trek. It's like, TOS was the original concept, TNG was the concept revisited and modernized, DS9 was a darker, grittier, more human take on Star Trek and now Voyager is the inevitable parody. It had all the elements: idiotic crew, annoying Alien Scrappy, insane captain, and a snarky holographic Doctor who served as our Only Sane Man. If they'd played it up for intentional laughs it might have done fairly well.
Once again though, Chuck delivers a wonderful scathing, entertaining and interesting review of some of the worst of Trek. Here's me waiting for next week's episode with bated breath.
