Quotes

[first lines]
[Neelix has made Tuvok a glass of juice]
Neelix: Enthraxic citrus peel, orange juice with just a hint of papalla seed extract. An experimental blend.
Lieutenant Tuvok: The success rate of your culinary experiments has not been high.
Neelix: Ensign Golwat tried some yesterday, and she thought it was delicious. In fact, she had a second glass, and she never has seconds.
Lieutenant Tuvok: Ensign Golwat is Bolian. Her tongue has a cartilaginous lining. It would protect her against even the most corrosive acid.

Back To The Future
2 February 2011 | by (New York, NY USA) – See all my reviews

Tuvok was a Vulcan, but now he a CRAZY brother!!! It happens to the best of us, eventually.

Tuvok gets recurring flashbacks of a little girl falling to her death, and eventually asks Janeway to join him in a mindmeld which features George Takei as Captain Sulu. Here comes the crazy science, though: Janeway is "spotted" by the figments of Tuvok's flashback imagination, and she has to disguise herself to "fool" these mere memories. Huh?

We're playing fast and loose with the concept of the mindmeld here. In fact we're making it up as we go along. It's never really clear how Janeway's life is threatened by Tuvok's meld but we're treated to an anticlimactic medi-babble festival as the Doctor narrates the brain waves of each of them, somehow magically able to interpret alpha waves as thought and experience. What spectacular bullspit!

And it turns out the flashback was caused by an alien parasite, which the Doc gets to yak about for another ten minutes, killing ALL the drama in the episode. The stupidity of the science and muddled meld outweigh the fun of going back into "Star Trek VI." A shame.

GRADE: C-
