Something very different, at least at first. The Void does partly make sense, I assume that they were either crossing between two arms of the galaxy or a gigantic dark nebula. Still, its effects on the crew make a lot of sense. Janeway hasn't had all that much time for reflection, and her crisis of confidence was a long time coming, while everyone else started snapping at each other. Believable and understandable. The idea of poisoning a whole area of space was a bit far-fetched, but they made a good point about the selfishness and short-termism in some industries (no names named). There's always a victim with pollution, and the 'Night Aliens' provided that, but it cost some of the effect of the Void. They must have a homeworld somewhere, so the Void is not empty after all. Not sure they handled the ending well, why not simply tell the aliens how to collapse the vortex, then form a temporary alliance - very Trek-like and the baddies still get their just deserts. Finally, I liked seeing the ship with the lights off. Starlight is very dim, and that is what all ships should look like in open space, void or no void. |
