Distant Origin

That episode is the holographical equivalent of Ilsa the Shewolf.

The EMH was willing to ignore the object of his affections complicity in the slaughter of billions of holograms just because Megan had a nice bum.
 
Lionel Luthor gutted Jadzia to get a leg over with Megan.

How many woman out there would you murder your way through a young Terry Farrell to get half a chance with?

(If the answer to that question is any number greater than zero, you may just be a psychopath.)
 
I liked her in Tripping the Rift.

And in Hellraiser III, she gets to say "What the fuck is that?"

Jadzia probably said that a lot when off screen.
 
I never watched that weird US Red Dwarf thing.

Terry Farrell just seems like an attractive and competent person with no personality. I don't dislike her, I don't like her, she's just there.
 
I guess one thing I liked about the episode was that there was a depiction of Transwarp travel without wormhole like tunnels. It was just "faster" warp drives sort of how it was though to be when it was brought up for USS Excelsior in Star Trek III.
 
It's not faster than warp. It's several orders of magnitude more energy efficient than warp. Warp can go that fast, and faster if they had a warp reactor pushing 400 times as much power into their nacels and the nacels don't explode as it got there.

"Hello, My name is Guy Gardener, and I am an anal retentive ass".

Too much warp speed turns you into a lizard... Hey, maybe that's how they've started!!
 
I think you have to give more than a few plaudits to any episode of Trek in which neither the ship nor any of the crew (fully constituted anyway) actually show up for... how many minutes was it again!!! I'm not too terribly concerned about outlandish evolutionary musings or outlandish holodeck species modeling constructions. It was a tried and true Trek Message effort and I found that at the very least, it had a couple of quite effective set pieces.


Even though our stalwarts were informed that they were for the chop if they crossed paths with the Voth again, it sure would have been interesting for the latter to have made an encore appearance or two at some point in the last 4 years

Mostly agreed. By Voyager standards, this was a super episode, replete with 'big ideas', which I find irresistible.

I liked the "artistic interpretations" of the humans during the search. I really liked Chakotay in this episode, too. I liked the way he bonded with Gagan. He (Chakotay) seemed to break out of his usual monotone, especially during his 'debate' with the Minister (maybe Beltran liked the ideas, too?). Speaking of the Minister, the actress was terrific. Quite a chilling character, actually.

Also, an ending which left you thinking a bit...the unbridgeable gap between the humans and the Voth orthodoxy was good, if a bit of a downer.
