i assumed it was on purpose to flush him outA 'what?' moment for me is when Tom was captured by the Kazon in Investigations. They put the prisoner in the room with the computers? I know the Kazon were dumb but Seska should have known better.
it just seems more absurd watching that play out but really it happens all the time. those take over aliens had no probs taking voyager without a manual either. The kazon did. Do you really think they spent all their months reading English before stealing Voyager? Nahhhh. They[the crew] also offer their consoles over for Aliens to access and you don't see a translation in progress. etc.How about Displaced.
A common trope in trek but this is one of the worst - Janeway and Tuvok escape their habitat and find a computer console.

Stop, this actually makes an incredible amount of sense.The kazon did. Do you really think they spent all their months reading English before stealing Voyager?
How about Displaced.

Despite being in an alien language they cant read and using an interface/operating system they have no clue how to use Tuvok bypasses the security protocol's in 2 seconds then Janeway accesses the voyager database to tap into the translation matrix also in 2 seconds and voila she now has more control of the alien computer from this random console than the aliens that made it and use it every day.
In universe - that would be like a Kazon trapped in a Voyager cargo bay using a control panel to usurp bridge control and take over the ship in less than 10 seconds.
Stop, this actually makes an incredible amount of sense.
If Seska was planing to take control of Voyager from the time she first went over to the Kazon, training up a select group of Kazons to operate Voyagers system and understand English would be something I could easily see Seska doing.
It also strains credibility that the people who abducted them (can't recall their species name if they mentioned it) could operate Voyager so easily. But didn't similar things happen on the other Treks, once in a while.Yeah, in Displaced, it had occurred quickly. However, it makes sense that Starfleet Cadets get training on how to encounter unknown technology.
They had to have already known at least something about Voyager to have the habitat ready for them.Not really. Folks with centuries of deep space exploration and contact with many alien species probably have developed ways to tap into alien technology as a necessity. Also, it's likely the Nyrians already learned about them- this episode was before any of their big jumps...enough to tap into their computers by using information from other races Voyager already encountered.
I assumed she was doing this. She wanted Voyager so she was training the Kazon on how to operate her.Stop, this actually makes an incredible amount of sense.

It already existed, for that race who was killed by a virus or somethingThey had to have already known at least something about Voyager to have the habitat ready for them.
It is possible that space existed but with a different environment since it is basically a holodeck. But they would have to know enough about Voyager to know to put them in that habitat and lot that frozen one.It already existed, for that race who was killed by a virus or something
Noted. I just don't give the Kazon that much credit. But you're likely correct. I see them as idiots in the sky. I know it has blinded me to that.Stop, this actually makes an incredible amount of sense.

Why Relativity?"Fury" and "Relativity" where it's retconned that Janeway always knew Key would go crazy, and adopt a Borg in the Delta Quadrant.
I kind of have this thought any time Janeway or B'Elanna go on an away mission. Can you afford to loose your captain and/or chief engineer?I've said it before, but ...

Threshold... forget about the salamanders... why, oh why do you let your pilot, no matter how much he implores you, test-fly this new warp 10+shuttle without running a single unmanned test. You go straight from "Yay! I didn't crash and burn on the holodeck this time!" to "OK, go get'em Chuck Yeager!"
I would think you'd have more regard for the safety of your people than that under normal circumstances, let alone the fact that you are 70k light years from home and Starfleet can't send you a replacement pilot.
It's not that they have a whole lot of time to spend on it, because they have to get on with the story, but even a throw-away line that they've run and passed unmanned tests would've been nice.
