    That was swift. :) On the whole, it's a pretty strong bunch of Voyager episodes.

    Maneuvers gets my first vote. I loved Seska and liked the attempt they made on a continuing storyline. This episode isn't the best one to show that element, however.

    Eye of the Needle, because it was too soon for a "will this get us home?" episode.

    "Eye" needled me too and for the same reasons. (I'll admit, seeing 20/20 along with everyone else has its moments... and not just being able to focus on bad puns...)

    Point to Imperfection. It was great for Seven’s relationship to Icheb but seemed a little contrived.

    Plus it retroactively has secondary implications that are uncomfortable.

    My vote this round goes to "WORKFORCE". It's by far the weakest on the list.

    ^^^I agree. The setup doesn't make a lot of sense, and Janeway's guy is a real snooze.

    "Eye of the Needle" is a bit too contrived. The Romulan should have been more suspicious. Deception is part of their culture.

    Eye of the Needle is the first one out. Solid for Season 1, but unremarkable at best compared to everything else on this list.

    No sense in Eye of the Needle being here - fun, but too early for a “we’re going home!” episode. New round.

    Ninja’d. I’ll go Workforce then. Never a fan.

    Imperfection, same reason.

    20 years after the fact was made difficult to watch, watching Icheb doom himself.

    TO THIS DAY I have still not seen "Workforce II." I always get to the end of part one, and I do not care enough to continue! So, voting for that...

    Workforce gets my vote as well. Not memorable. Not exciting. Not anything less than contrived-beyond-belief-suspension for the setup. Naah. I'd rather whip out a curved microscope and watch dandruff form.

    So that kills "Workforce I", right?

    I'll vote "Maneuvers" next. Kazon -- what more is there to say?

    Imperfection again.

    Looks like last round somebody accidentally erased my vote for it through posting at the exact same time but it turned out not to matter.

    "Maneuvers", also because of the Kazons. Any episode with the Kazons starts with a disadvantage then it's an uphill battle to achieve averageness.

    "Imperfection" has been retroactively spoiled for me, for the reason @JirinPanthosa mentioned.

    Maneuvers gets booted - it's a solid episode but a bit creepy.

    Next round, my vote goes to Life Line - one Barclay episode in this whole lineup is enough.
