Star Trek: Voyager: Retrospect (1998)
Season 4, Episode 17
6/10
inexplicable change of mind for everyone based on a one minute investigation
30 November 2021
Warning: Spoilers
In their very brief and surface-level investigation, the doctor and tuvok find one possible piece of "evidence" to support 7's claims of being assaulted and memory-wiped, but when that one piece of evidence seems to not be conclusive, they all suddenly decide that Corin must be innocent - what??? That was the flimsiest investigation possible, not even following up on their own suggestion to look for alterations in the laboratory or hidden sections. It took all of 1 minute. I know, they can't take too much time in a 40 minute episode, but for the crew to all suddenly change their mind based on this is rather absurd. They should view this as a still-open case, needing more evidence to convict, not a declaration of innocence. Sometimes the glossing over of important points is a little too much to handle. If someone I knew was claiming to have been raped and this passed for a thorough investigation I would be really pissed!
