Of all the episodes of Star Trek, this is the ONLY one that gives me a deep down gut-reaction of pure unadulterated hatred. I despise it, and wish only that hell existed so that this episode could be cast into it.

I think you'll probably hate it more after the review... Enjoy. :D

Okay, he gets it about right I'd say. Only he gave it 3, I'd give it 0.

Yeah, I don't know why he was so generous to it. He didn't explain in this review, usually he does.

He summed this excuse for an episode up nicely.
"You've all been selected for this mission because you each have a special skill. Professor Hawking, John Leslie, Phil Neville, the Wu-Tang Clan, Usher, the Sugar Puffs Monster and Daniel Day-Lewis! Welcome to Operation MindFuck!"

It's an impressive achievement to manage to offend both sides of the religion vs. science debate at the same time. Voyager's ability to make your average fanfic look deep and insightful never ceases to amaze.

Remember that he grades it by the standards of the series.

Nope - Threshold scored a big fat null points, and was so bad it needed the first ever three-part OEG rant.

Threshold was an offense against God. :evil:
They say that in the Army,
the women are mighty fine.
They look like Phyllis Diller,
and walk like Frankenstein.
