A few of my random thoughts while watching Threshold:
As a star trek fan I can suspend my disbelief in service of the plot but the writers of this episode expect me to murder my disbelief. After all the crazy things that happen in this episode we get an ABC after school special moment of Tom realizing that it is his own opinion of himself that truly matters.
- So, of all the ships in the galaxy that have had warp drive it is the USS Voyager out in the Delta quadrant without a team of high IQ professionals working on warp drive theory manage (over lunch) to crack this case?
- If we are not sure what will actually happen after warp 10 is achieved how about putting the shuttle on auto pilot and recording the results instead of putting Tom Paris is an unknown situation?
- Why was the reasoning behind Tom Paris kidnapping Janeway?
- Wait a sec, didn't Tom Paris get jail time for pulling a crazy shuttle maneuver in the academy?
- So, when Janeway broke the warp 10 barrier she instantly turned into a Lizard and didn't go through the 24 hour evolutionary cycle that Tom Paris did?
- What type of space magic did the doctor use to change Tom and Katheryn from electric Lizards into flesh and blood human beings? Give that man a medal of freedom for this achievement.
