It's interesting that the insufferable Neelix is the only officer on board a shuttle in a critical situation. He proves to be a masterful addition although Tuvok does everything he can to be dismissive of him. An alien planet has been targeted by asteroid which Voyager attempts to squelch with only modest success. It becomes evident that there is more to these space rocks than meets the eye. Meanwhile, during a life and death situation, unexpected forces become involved. I thought this was a pretty good episode. I'm wondering if Neelix will change a bit. If Tuvok has trouble with him, it is not hard to figure out why. One thing that bothered me is that Neelix has such a wide range of technical knowledge. Fast learner?
