I actually enjoy this weird episode a lot. Then again, one of my favourite VOY characters is Neelix, so what do I know? What’s your take on this bizarre episode?
I think it’s actually a pretty good episode up until the final few minutes when the questionably sentient lizards show up. How reviled the episode is says more about how people react to that than the overall episode, IMO.
Given the harmful effects of light pollution, a pair of astronomers has coined a new term to help focus efforts to combat it. Their term, as reported in a brief paper in the preprint database arXiv and a letter to the journal Science, is “noctalgia.” In general, it means “sky grief,” and it captures the collective pain...
The lack of fireflies aren’t a rural/urban thing, I don’t think. I’ve always lived in suburbs of a mid-size city and definitely remember fireflies swarming around as a kid, too.
I think it’s fair to judge someone directly involved with covering up a rapist when that person is also very vocal and actively involved in combating exactly that crime. That’s a pretty massive lapse in judgement and more indicative of his true character than someone that had a single instance of road rage or similar emotional outburst.

Not surprised at all by the hypocrisy. These are the same people that have continually voted against taking care of veterans and 9/11 first responders.
Isa Balado was reporting on a Madrid robbery on Tuesday when he walked up and appeared to touch her bottom, which he denied when she confronted him....
It was strange to read an article about something recorded on video and see so many uses of “alleged” and “appears to”. Then I watch the video–which, as a surprise twist, the article doesn’t even include–to realize it’s definitely not ambiguous!
Maybe Spanish libel laws are more strict than I’m used to, but that is some seriously cautious journalism!
I’d imagine that is the reaction that at least 50% of male reporters would have had.
Of course, most of us dudes are so rarely sexually assaulted in public like this that it would be a unique thing, further underscoring the parent’s whole point about the reporter’s reaction being the most tragic part.
Thanks for this dose of reality. It doesn’t matter who you are, I should not judge how anyone reacts to inappropriate touching (or just unexpected events in general).
