3. There were a LOT of incongruities or paper-thin plot elements that required the viewer to just suspend disbelief and go along for the ride. WHICH IS FINE. We all know that truck wouldn't start. (Did they ever explain how it got there? Did the Briori just yeet it because it was smelly? If so, why not in the Alpha Quadrant?)
They must have exhausted their budget on the stasis chamber set! 😂 Because they had no money left over for a location shoot visiting one of the cities. I would have loved to have seen a parallel-developed human civilization, and how it tugged at crewmembers' hearts. But no, all we got were a few folks in neoprene suits with pulse rifles. Biggest missed opportunity of the episode (or maybe even the season).
To sum things up, despite the flaws, I really enjoyed this episode. It took a risk and created what is, when you get down to it, a very improbable situation—but it really feeds the "What if....? role that good SF always should. And part of me thinks that if they made this a two-parter and really explored that pang of indecision of whether to leave the planet or stay, it could have been really, really good. #AllStarTrek@allstartrek#StarTrek#StarTrekVOY#The37s
I can just imagine a #Borg attack, and in the aftermath the survivors travel in a ragtag convoy of spaceships, searching for the mythical planet of their origin... Earth! #AllStarTrek#StarTrekVoyager#The37s
Sooooo, we are to believe that a race of aliens that could travel from the Alpha Quadrant to the Delta Quadrant would . . . kidnap humanoids to use as slaves?
So, they've been standing up for 400 years, and they get zapped with something and all of a sudden they can just....walk on out? I mean, my legs get stiff if I stand still for like 20 minutes.
