Voyager Rewatch - Resistance
Summary: Instead of just beaming up some tellerium and being on their way, with slightly guilty consciences for stealing, we get roughly 45 minutes of non-stop (boring) action!
Voyager's crew is shopping in a market! Imagine that! You mean you can _buy_ things you need?! Instead of beaming down to deserted planets that turn out not to be so deserted and adopting alien lizard babies and whatnot? You can just go shopping?! Man, you know what the first Ferengi in the Delta Quadrant would do? Set up a warp-through takeaway. Tellerium, dilithium crystals, technobabble, leola roots, whatever you need! Just speak directly into the talking clown head, please.
Well, either it's a police state, or Voyager were fugitives from some other group trying to track them down and they brought violence to the innocent market.
I can understand why they can't replicate antimatter. It's a matter replicator, after all, right? But why can't they replicate this tellerium they're so desperate for?
Whenever anyone is held captive, you can bet Torres is one of them.
It may be because I'm playing a game in another window while watching. But this episode is not very interesting. Janeway skulks around, trying to break into the prison. Plays a comfort woman for a time to get past a guard or something. Torres is shocked that Vulcans feel pain. The people on the ship are um.. I don't know. Staring down another ship or something.
Now Janeway's helped Tuvok and Torres escape, but she needs to rescue the wife of the delusional man. Yea, hello, /delusional/. You think his wife is _actually_ in there? That's taking a lot on faith. My money's on her being long dead.
(Yea, I just used two different methods to emphasize the text -- neither of which is the useful html tag of em or i -- but there's an actual difference in my emphasis! So there should be different methods of showing that!)
Okay, I should unpause now and find out if this wife is actually alive and in the prison to be rescued.
Dead for 12 years!
Gasp. Shock. Stupid Janeway.
And now the guy's dead, because there was no other way that could end.
Well, that ep was just an excuse for Janeway to get emotional.
At least, I hope that was the aim. Otherwise it had no aim at all as far as I can see!
