Workforce

for the record, I was only referring to his crack use.

er... Explaining the joke makes me sound like an awful person. Another failed attempt at humor... :vulcan: I really do adore all of you, I promise. :)
 
Haven't read this thread yet...but just watched part 1 and thought it was great! I love episodes that really take advantage of the entire cast like this. And it's good to see Janeway actually get some. Can't wait for part 2...then I can't wait to read this thread! :)

...so anyway, I enjoyed the episode. :) I loved how Tom was drawn to Belanna and wanted to protect her and the child even though he had no idea who they really were. I really liked all of the drama leading up to part II. I'm just disappointed we didn't get to see that mad doctor getting some kind of punishment (either officially or by the hand of a former "patient").
 
I really liked "Workforce". I also liked the Stargate SG-1 episode "Beneath the Surface" which aired six months earlier and told the EXACT same story. I started a thread about the similarity a couple of years ago, IIRC they're both blatant ripoffs of the same novel or short story or something?

That SG1 episode is the main reason, i did not enjoy "Workforce". Here in germany they aired only two month apart, so my first reaction was: "Didn't Stargate just do the same story?"

[edit to add:] When rewatching Voyager recently, i found it OK. Apparently temporal distance to the SG1 episode does wonders for this.
