| Review : |
Half-decent action episode, but got a bit silly in places. The Class Y planet for a start. They are supposed to be hotter and more dangerous than Venus (Class X, I think), but we had Hirogen down there and they did not all scream in agony and die in seconds (most lifeforms would at 800°C and 50 atmospheres pressure). It was also a bit odd seeing the Voyager apparently glued to the stern of a Hirogen ship like a Pilotfish. Jeff Yagher as Iden against Robert Picardo's Doctor saved it from becoming really silly. It slowly dawns on you that Iden is effectively a psychopath. His hatred of 'Organics' is understandable, but he carries it to the point where he only wants to kill them and kill all of them. He took the Doctor in early on, but we could see the doubts begin to come in as time went on. Overall, they should be a bit more careful on the details, but it just about worked. |
