[VOY] Alliances

[VOY] Season 2, Episode 14 (Netflix: S2 E14): Alliances

Alliances

Rating: 3

This one features the Kazon which will automatically turn people off, but it has appropriate themes for a 2nd season Voyager episode. One of the best premises for Voyager was that they would be in an area which would challenge how strictly they should follow Starfleet regulations. This episode is one of the best in dealing with this. We also get to see Seska again, and she’s still acting very Cardassian, which is cool.
