Oh, I see. Good to know, thanks!
Next clue...
Very little of the ship is seen.

It's a test of personality. That way if you say something offensive you can't just erase it and pretend it never happened as some people sometimes do.
A good guess, but no.
Future's End, also an episode that is mostly off the ship.
Good guesses, but no dice.
Next clue...
He takes center stage for a change.

For the first 2 weeks that is. Lucky that I still have the chance to do that after the end of the Newbie period.
Nemesis? Chakotay in an unusually active role, he is forced into participating in the simulation, most of the action is on the planet, the word "glimpse" might be a hint to the Vori language.
"NEMESIS" is indeed the correct answer! To explain...
His reputation continues... Chakotay gets yet another shuttle destroyed. His character has a reputation for getting shuttles destroyed. "INITIATIONS", "UNITY", "NATURAL LAW", this episode... I think he personally lost half of all the ones in the series.
Forced perspective... Chakotay was brainwashed into thinking the Kradin were evil.
A glimpse into what their life is like... 'glimpse' was their replacement word for see and look, and we see a bit of what their life is like with that village. And even if that were a false representation, the fact they conscript people in this manner is telling about their lives.
Very little of the ship is seen... virtually the entire episode takes place on the planet.
He takes center stage for a change... Chakotay is spotlighted in this episode, as his character was often relegated to a glorified extra.
Great job at your explanations, by the way. Your turn, Ensign Seven.

"Glimpse" was also their word for "eye", e.g. "Close your glimpses."
I never understood why they made these people speak so strangely. As another alien said in another Voyager episode (I'll let you guess which one
) "Are your UTs malfunctioning?"I always liked that aspect of the episode, with them speaking slightly differently than us. It honestly surprises me we don't encounter that more often in the franchise.
Maybe they realize that it could quickly become tedious and annoying to most of the audience. Like having the Klingons continuously speak with subtitles.
Speaking with different but same meaning words is quite a different thing than Klingonese and subtitles.
The former is interesting, and can be educational in the sense of vocabulary expansion. I have known people whose primary language is not english but learned to speak it well through tv shows.
The latter is VERY distracting. I did find it to be one aspect of season 1 to be a turnoff, though I understand why it was done.

I’m a little more used to subtitles because I watch so many films not in English. But the tone Klingons speak with, with the loud grunty halting phrases, I find incredibly grating and obnoxious. I think they made Klingon speech sound like animal noises to play up Klingons as ‘Barbarians at the gates’. And it just doesn’t work.
Replacement words are something that works if you use it sparingly. They tend to work best to convey that a people think inflexibly in a systematically imposed way.

I have no objection to affected English as long as the words are used in their real sense like saying equine for horse or odalisque for a pretty girl. But I draw the line at using words in a sense they never had anywhere or anytime in history. Like using "glimpses" for "eyes" for example.
Thanks! Next round:
