[VOY] Day of Honor

[VOY] Season 4, Episode 3: Day of Honorday of honorRating: 2

Voyager continues to keep a pretty strong focus on Seven of Nine. This episode also establishes the beginning of B’Elanna and Paris’ romantic story line. Overall this episode feels pretty by the numbers. Even with a new character in the mix the writers seem trapped inside the same plot patterns firmly established in the franchise.
