Review :	Another good try. While the premise might be a decent one, I like the idea that the Doctor can modify his own personality, the writing was a bit weak in some places. However, that did not stop Robert Picardo doing his best with it, and he managed to avoid going completely over the top (as some might) to give a decent performance. However, he did not get much support from Jennifer Lien, who sometimes seemed to be merely reading from the script. Still, it was watchable enough.

Review :	Starting last season I noticed that they've written some episode around a single character and gave them the spotlight. Today it was the Doctor's day. And he did a pretty good job. It was entertaining, but I didn't get sucked in. But then, maybe I'm watching too many Voaygers in row! A couple things - When did Kes and Neelix break up? I presume that was Warlord, but I thought she was inhabited. Also, shouldn't there have been a record of the doctor's first beam down to the surface the night of the attempted murder? And shouldn't have Harry Kim notice the phaser discharge in the transporter room before the Doctor kidnapped Kes? Simple things like that overlooked drop down the rating.
