What, you never saw Benjamin Button?
Not everyone found the Female Quark entertaining. I remember quite a few complaints about it.
My headcanon is that they recovered the EMH from the Equinox and used it as template for back ups. That's probably where the training hologram from Critical Care came from too.
I know people that hate it and others that love it.
No it isn't. We don't even see the station again at the end.
Yes, we have no way of knowing how long the repairs took.
The next episode is only a day or so later, going by the stardates.
I actually really liken the girl quark episode. Lots of fun
Exactly the same as voyager. We don't know exactly how long repairs at any given time took. Episodes do not take place directly back to back (unless specifically said so)
The next episode has no stardate given at all.
I think that is where the episode was lacking is any sort of emotional choice or connection on Harry's part. I think if it felt like there was an actual draw for him to stay on Earth, and have to make a choice to return to Voyager then the episode could have carried a lot more punch.
Instead, he runs back to Voyager the moment he gets the opportunity. What a conflict.
Yes, DS9 took risks. VOY didn't for a while. It showed.
"The Audience" isn't a thing.
Ha-ha...no. That episode gets torn to shreds in every Trek circle I inhabit, while "Living Witness' gets held up as one of VOY's best.
When Janeway still has dirt on her face from the current adventure, it's either that the repairs didn't take long at all or that she has very bad hygiene.
Sure "Living Witness" was one of VOY better episodes, but that doesn't mean it doesn't get a free ride on not receiving critism about the EMH suddenly having a backup. Sure you could say they found a way to back him up between when we were last told they couldn't and that episode. But then the point becomes if they can do it once, they can do it again. As good as "Living Witness" is it's just another example of the writers ignoring limitations they themselves set hoping the viewer wouldn't notice.
One can like something at the same time as critising it.

In which episode did she still have dirt on her face?
Basics.
Just watched the last 10 minutes. At the end Janeway asks if the ship can sustain flight and Kim answers her that propulsion is online. So they go to warp towards the AQ. Not really seeing a huge issue here personally. They set a course then start making repairs.
But the damage to the ship was enormous. Remember that she's been purposely sabotaged to kill the people inside by overloading. It likely fried every single circuit on board. How long do you think it takes to repair that kind of damage? Do you think it can be done by pushing buttons or do you need people crawling down the Jefferies tubes for days, even weeks to do that?
But where does iy say that it didn't take them weeks to make repairs? All janeway asked was if their propulsion was working. Then Tom tells her about the sabotage. Just because they're done with repairs in the next episode doesn't mean that it hasn't taken then weeks. Maybe some people feel like they should have taken time out of a 40 minute episode to show things like peoplr crawling around replacing wires and panels and painting the hull. For me i would rather use that time for the story and just make the assumption that the repairs are being made off screen. Same as how they don't talk about taking a poop. I know they do it even if they don't actually say they are anywhere in the episide.
Right. Janeway asked if they could go to warp. She didn't ask about everything else. They went to warp then started on repairs. Not a huge stretch of the imagination
