| Review : |
A curious episode. It avoided descending into humour, and provided a decent story. At one point, Janeway described her strategy as "making it up as I go along". That's surprisingly accurate, but not good, because constantly reacting to situations makes it harder to take charge and come out on top. When Dala escaped, I thought it was too easy, and ultimately that was the case. Mind you, it was also far too easy to override the security procedures on the Delta Flyer. Encrypt your database, for goodness sake! I also find the heating coil issue a bit implausible, but they needed an excuse for Neelix to remember Dala. Kaitlin Hopkins seemed to do fairly well as Dala, and might have made a good Janeway under different circumstances. Not so sure about the others. Verdict, reasonable. |
