| Review : |
All around a pretty poor episode. The beginning is very rough and sudden, with no view of Chakotay's disaster. You have to listen to hear how he got there and why he was in the neighborhood...which would normally be fine, but it was pretty short. The fact that Chakotay gets controlled so easily is poorly done. Isn't there something in the Prime Directive about not involving yourself in other people's wars? Plus, it isn't until the end where we hear a vague reference to a 'mix of mind-control techniques'. No details, little adherence to the rules, and the speech patterns of the 'aliens' (although it was a nice touch) made things very hard to keep up with. |
