Tom's eventual change into a slimy lizard like creature had all the hallmarks of the film 'The Fly'.
Bits of Tom start falling off with a real Jeff Goldblum moment when his tongue detaches and he gives a confused yet almost cynical grin to the crew.
After kidnapping Janeway (a la Jeff and Geena) he mates with her (unseen) and this produces some offspring (although the whole process only takes a few hours) on a jungle like planet.
But unlike 'The Fly' the offspring look cute (well anything would compared to a maggot).
Perhaps in some future episode or film the Federation will return to the planet to check on progress. Maybe the lizards will have built their first rudimentary Warp core by then.
Yep it was that bad.
