   > In your opinion, which are the three WORST Star Trek: Voyager (VOY)   
   > episodes?   
      
   Only three? Oh boy, that's hard. I won't mention /Threshold/ though, as   
   this is not even considered canon by the writers anymore. And the Q-eps. I   
   really came to dislike that character on ENT and VOY truly killed him.   
   Same with the Borg. BTAIM, I'll go with:   
      
   /Tatoo/ -- What a racistic peace of shit. Also that new-age noble savage   
   thing was going on my nerve, which we had to endure in other eps as well.   
      
   /Time and Again/ -- The alien's outfits suck. But ok, I can live with   
   that. But I cannot live with Janeway's distorted ethical guideline. This   
   one is the ep that directly leads to ENT's /Dear Doctor/, as -- of course   
   -- the Prime Directive means "we cannot allow our presence to alter this   
   planet's natural cause of events" *even if it meant its annihilation*!   
   Janeway surly only fired the phaser because she realised that VOY was   
   responsible for the planet's destruction in the first place and only   
   therefore chose to seal the subspace-cutting that don't-ask-me-why can be   
   closed by a phaser. If she didn't magically realized that that light   
   emerged due to the the crew's rescuing-attempt she surly would have   
   ordered Paris and herself to be nuked in that desaster to comply to the   
   dogma that is called the Prime Directive. I have yet again an urge to   
   spit.   
   It doesn't help that the events didn't really happen as the magic reset   
   button makes it so that nothing really happened (The same fate that /Year   
   of Hell/ had to bear, only that one didn't suck that much.) besides Kes   
   being freaked out a bit.   
      
   /Innocence/ -- Star Trek always had problems with comprehending evolution.   
   There are oddities like offsprings of two entirly different species   
   (Bajoran and Cardassian can reproduce without a geneticist's help --   
   riiiiiight), nature has an aim and for human that is to be lizards (damn,   
   I didn't want to mention /Threshold/.) Ocampas are fucked and doomed to   
   annilation, their monkey-ancestors should have already died out with their   
   short lifetime and low reproduction-ability. They truly only can survive   
   with the help of a sky-daddy. But ok, all these things are utterly wrong   
   and impossible to happen in real life, but not as stupid as to proclaim   
   that the individuals of a species start out as old people, become younger   
   and younger -- only to disappear in a void. What an insult to the watcher.
