[VOY] Eye of the Needle

VOY Season 1, Episode 7 (Netflix S1 E6): Eye of the Needle

Rating: 4
The episode begins with the crew possibly discovering a way home through a wormhole. I didn’t have very high expectations upon hearing that. It seemed awfully early to start teasing the crew with ways to get home when it’s obvious they won’t succeed. But every plot point that followed made the story more interesting and layered on actual emotional impact.

Notes:

They may have found a way home! This will definitely work out.

Janeway thinks she’s starring in Peter Pan.

Kes has learned an extraordinary amount of information since joining the crew. You know what? I like Kes. She’s a good kid.

The business about the Doctor being a person is a little redundant after Data.

B’Elanna explains that she doesn’t have anyone at home that cares about her. Harry thinks, “No one likes you HERE either.”

Most of the struggles that the crew need to overcome can easily be understood by the audience. This isn’t always a strength of Voyager

Vaughn Armstrong is a Romulan! And an interesting one too. I like the relationship that grows in a short time between the crew and Armstrong’s character.

Tuvok always has to disappoint the crew with reason. Is it bad that I kind of enjoy this?

They introduce the idea that the Doctor wants a name. It’s one of those narrative threads that disappears as the series goes on.
