Voyager Rewatch – Cold Fire
Summary: They find the other Array thingee! But then the episode is all about Kes.
I’ve been busy eating my ice cream and not commenting!
Um, if Neelix is unhappy with the haircut he’s getting, he should say so.
What do you say to the companion of the being who brought you to the Delta Quadrant when you meet it? (And probably of course it’s a chick!) Her. ‘Hi! We’ve got some of your husband’s erm.. dead body here. Will you bring us home now? Kthnxbai.’
And the guest star on this ep is the human detective from Alien Nation. Old Excrement Head himself.
I wasn’t used to recognizing guest starts on Star Trek series. It’s more likely for me to go the other way around. Watching some other show and going ‘hey! He was on Star Trek!’ I guess the first exception to this was on TNG, either Lurch or Max Headroom. But now we’ve got two Voyager eps in a row with people I knew from shows I loved.
Your ship is known as the Ship of Death! Your reputation precedes you.
You know, if Voyager would just get about their business of getting home as quickly as possible.. well, I suppose there’s still subspace communications, which are faster than high warp. But, still.
You’d think that a species who only lives to be 9, max, would not count their age by years. Wouldn’t you? When Kes had a birthday, she should’ve been celebrating 25 months, or 10 seasons, or something like that. I mean, that’d be like us saying we’re only going to have a birthday party every 10 years. Or to say we’re 20 years old right up until we turn 30.
We could’ve used this Ocampan’s ‘enhance life’ ability on our tomato plants.
It just hit me! I realize now why Tanis’s outfit looked familiar!
He’s dressed like a can of Red Bull!
That was the best shot of him I could find.
Yea, blah blah blah, join my Suspiria cult and leave behind all the puny humans and Talaxians. Never mind that you hurt Tuvok and killed all the plants, which is sort of the exact opposite of the values you held dear at the start of the episode.
Suspiria’s adult voice sounds like it might be Majel Barrett.
Creepy little girl, blood dripping from above. This episode just turned into a horror movie.
Torres’s blood appears to be red and not pink. For future reference.
Instead of letting her go, Janeway, you could’ve tried bargaining with her. Or at least talking. But I understand, you only had about 5 minutes left in the episode. No time to talk.

Yet another episode that made very little sense. Okay, so, the other being is all suspicious. But too much time was wasted on Kes and her superpowerz and they totally dropped the back on the fact that supposedly Voy has been searching for this other being for like, a year! And then they don’t even try to convince her to send them back, they’re all like seeya. And no one even mentions it again!!!
wtf.

Seriously! They should’ve been busy trying to make a deal. ‘You can have Kes if you take Neelix too and then you send us back to the Alpha Quadrant.’
It’s not like Kes or Neelix probably particularly _want_ to go to the Alpha Quadrant _anyway_.
And couldn’t Tanis read Kes’s brain? Or Janeway’s? Why didn’t he or Suspiria know that Voyager didn’t kill the Array dude?
