I really liked Blood Fever. I think that the whole point was for the characters to "Act like idiots" (As Lynx so eloquently put it in the Kes Website) Because it IS a hormonal imbalance and they aren't SUPPOSED to be in their right minds. If they weren't "Acting like idiots" not only would the episode have no reason to exist but it also undermines the effects of things like Pon Farr. I thought it was also a really good episode for Tom Paris, it makes him seem less like a "Ladies man" and more like someone who actually cares for B'Elanna (when he refuses to take advantage of B'Elanna). I'm interested to hear some of your thoughts on the episode!
So, Blood Fever.

I liked Blood Fever too. It was the first hint of the B'Elanna/Tom relationship, and it was our first lead up to Scorpion with the Borg reveal. At the time approaching Borg Space was exciting and they hadn't done too much with the Borg yet. To have that hint and then Unity and then Scorpion made for a nice trifecta that season.
