The entire episode is kind of boring but the last two minutes of the episode are what earned it a higher rating. First the seeds of Tom and B'Elanna's eventual relationship are planted, and finally the first subtle, haunting (and at the time unexpected) glimpse of what was to come, a long-dead Borg drone on the surface of the planet. Those last two minutes alone made the episode worth while for me. |

It's not quite as daft as it could have been. The premise has a logic of its own, but could have been done rather differently. For one thing, Pon Farr is somewhat more extreme than what we are shown here. Still, even if we give them that, there are other things. Paris may have been trying not to take advantage, but I think I might have let him begin to give in at some point. There aren't many men who wouldn't be tempted. It's only at the end where he does give in altogether. Still, we get to the end. The last thirty seconds of this episode make all the rest of it worth sitting through, and it gives us a sense of foreboding that stays with us. Now we know why nobody comes back from the other side of the Nekrit Expanse! |

A male character needs to have sex to live. This is a big problem. The solution? Pass it on to a woman so SHE needs to have sex to live. Then just get her a man - problem solved. Sexist and silly, why are we having the Pon Farr as a plot point? |
