Yup. Spot on.
Here's the problem with sentient syphilis... It doesn't just expand at every opportunity in every direction... or maybe it does, autonomia, but if it was a creature who made choices, who only infected hosts it felt like infecting, then it also didn't infect hosts it didn't feel like infecting, even if it was only as smart as a dog... There's a strong possibility that T'Pel and the Kids are not carriers too.

It did seem selective. But still possible to be instincts.
That pitcher plant monster was pretty smart (not acting on instincts, in my opinion) if only an anomaly hovering around space. Ha..."It eats star ships." And its passengers too. Well that will solve all our metal NASA waste floating in space. Does it eat plastic too? Our planet could use its services.

Find its anus and there's probably a wealth of resources floating around thereabouts.
I disagree. When I watch the episode, just the way Robert Picardo is acting and saying his lines, and Janeway answers him, it seems more like Janeway is having trouble following the Doctor and really doesn't believe that the Doctor is on the right track, but doesn't have any other path to follow from a scientific perspective, and her line is more to congratulate him on coming up with a some-what reasonable explanation. And Janeway's "Ver scientific" line seems to be more of a "I have no clue what he's talking about, but it sounds very scientific, even though when you boil it down to plain English it is nothing but nonsense." (Kind of the opposite of the scene from "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation" where Clark's boss asks for a description of the food varnish in plain English, and none of the scientific language usually used in his reports.)
Fair Haven was a pretty good episode. The Doctor's pep talk to Janeway about her limited dating options was sweet. So far this is the 5th guy to fall for her. Such a heartbreaker!
Collective was good too. Though almost any episode involving the Borg is interesting.

He didn't fall for her until she brainwashed him and murdered his wife.
I'm surprised Janeway didn't alter the male uniform to include 3 inch heels if short men don't do it for her.

She only wants tall men in the bedroom. Underlings, aka everyone on the ship, are better if they are smaller. That's why she is in heels herself.
The stereotypes bothered me, and I'm not even Irish. Maybe Kate pushed for it. All it needed was Darby O'Gill and his fiddle.
I like Fair Haven better than I like going to faux Irish pubs.
I thought so too but Kate has said she was 'punished' for no Chakotay and asked writers what they were smoking when she got the fair haven scripts. Garrett has said often writers would sneak things into scripts to send them a little passive aggression for an example: their weight, lack of promotion, no hanky panky, etc there was speculation that the heat that sparked between Kate and Jeri was used in season four. No doubt in Prey, eh Garren? But I am just speculative on that one.

Distracting indeed. I don't hate the episode. my 16 year old j/c shipping heart broke haha. As a grown woman now I laugh at the Janeway gets teased by first officer scene.
Prey: I watched it twice. I should revisit it. I remember hairs raising during the feud in the ready room. I never saw Janeway borderline ice queen. I want to see it again to see if I was my youthful perception .

The Hirogen were pretty cool-looking.
Agreed the sterotypes bothered me as well and I'm not Irish either. And unfortuntly I've got to subtract a few points for that.
Voyager was bloody lucky they were not sued by whoever owned the rights to Predator.
A lot of gray area copying on that show. I didn't notice until I expanded my horizons. I haven't seen Predator and I won't because I'm a wuss when it comes to violence. So I'll take your word for it.
I was hoping for more depth for the hirogen because they were so 'cool looking'.
I've been bouncing around seasons, I saw Investigations from season 2 today. One mega distraction was the recording device with those lines as if resolution in those days are 20th century. Wtf... we don't have lines running through our you tube recordings.
But what I DO miss are the lines from sub-cast to really make it feel like a crew lost in space not just the appearance of "The journey of the lost senior staff and puppet crew in space." After the spy and then Hogan it took a long time-what season 6 to see talking extras? Again budget reasons we know.

The Nausicaan makeups were essentially a ripoff of Stan Winston's Predator creature design.
