 | "Remember"
- Week of Oct. 7th - Oct. 11th File Photo
|| Dramatic
overview: The story was excedingly boring and lifeless. The
barely-perceivable suspense over "who's doing it"
wasn't enough to light a candle. The story was dripping with PC,
which I'm sad to say writers often feel is a SUBSTITUTE for a
good story. I hated the episode. I'm one of the Voy watchers that
really really wants Voy to take its place as the finest scifi
show on the tube. I've sat through many crappy episodes, figuring
I would always tune in again, but this episode really makes me
want to give up. What a bunch of
self-righteous crap. So the telepaths did something horribly
wrong, that was years ago, and none of the Federation's business.
What in the Hell is Voy supposed to do, hold Nurenburg trials?? "Hello, we
are one spaceship from the other side of the galaxy, and we are
going to research the recent past of your planet to find out
whether we should throw any of your people in jail." Reverse the roles:
Voy visits a planet, and the locals querry Voy's computers. They
suddenly anounce "I'm sorry, Janeway, but we're going to
throw some of your people in jail because of what happened to the
American Indians, the Aztecs, the Catholics in Northern Ireland,
the Palestinians in Israel, the Jews in Germany etc etc." At this point, it
must be clear to all but the truly obtuse that the story was a
tired rehash of the Holocaust, so poorly done as to be almost
offensive. The "Dork Factor" is too high for me to ask
any of my Jewish friends whether they watched the show, but if I
were to attempt to empathise, I would cringe at the thought of
some of my relatives' deaths being trivialized by writers who,
given a galaxy of story opportunities, can't come up with
anything better. I can't believe I
watched the whole episode. It was, if not the stupidest Voy
episode ever, at least the most unimaginative and tactless. The commercials
for Voy are explosion-filled (I guess to attract teenage viewers)
and narated by some guy with a spoon in his throat. "the
show is *tough*, and I'm *tough*, cause I can talk with a spoon
in my throat" He says that Voy
is better than before. (You don't have to
say that if the show didn't suck from the begining) He says that Voy
is *hot* (Phasor blasts, do
not Star Trek make) Voy is taking
chances (The writers have
no clue, and chose story lines from a grab bag) Note to Paramount.
Remember Tuvix? Well if you combine Wesley and Nelix you get
WeasleNix, a character that sucks big time, but Jeri Taylor and
Rick Berman suck worse than that. Fire every idiot who had a hand
in last night's show, cut the makeup budget by 90% because I'm
sick of the assinine screwed up foreheads, hire four or five
scifi student-writers from USC, and watch as Voy would take its
place in the Nielsen top 10. Review by: Victor
