Notable Qoutes: Tuvok: "It appears we have lost our sex appeal, Captain."
Synopsis: Voyager encounters a herd of space dwelling creatures that effect Kes, causing her birthing circle to occur a lot sooner, making it so if she ever wants to concieve a child she must do so immeadaitly.
Over All:
An episode that's somewhat interesting, but overall boring and
ridiculous.
Pros:
- This episode is very good in exploring the emotional
consequences of being on a ship trapped on the other side of the galaxy. How Janeway and Chakotay discuss the crew pairing off, and procreating. They even dicuss the possiblity of Voyager becoming a generational ship. It gives a real feel to the whole series, something that was forgotten in the later years of the series.
- It was also intersting to hear the crew talk about loved ones that they left behind, such as Janeway talking about how much she misses Mark, and Tuvok talking about his children and how he thinks about them all the time,
Cons:
- They were two plots to this episode, both of them bad. The first
one, about Kes going through the elogium, making it so if she ever wants to have children she must do so immeadiatly. The whole desicussion with Neelix and Kes trying to decide to become parents was very boring. The Second one, about Voyage encountering a swarm of space dwelling creatures that mistake Voyager for a sexaul mate. This plot was boring and unorginal, it was very similar to the TNG episode "Galaxy's Child", and alot less interesting.
- I really don't like the way they show Neelix's character in this episode. He is very annoyning, It just makes me want to yell at him to shut up,
