Star Trek: Voyager: Non Sequitur (1995)
Season 2, Episode 5
4/10
This one has logical problems even a sci-fi show cannot overcome.

I do not expect a sci-fi show to be 100% believable. You have to suspend disbelief and that's not normally a problem. However, with "Non Sequitur" the problems are too many--like the script needed some more work before filming started.

The show begins with Harry Kim waking up in San Francisco. No, this is not a dream--he IS in San Francisco and it is as if he never became a member of the Voyager crew. In fact, he soon learns that Voyager WAS lost and its current whereabouts are unknown--but he didn't go on the ship! This makes no sense and throughout the show Harry tries to find out what's happening to him. The answer really doesn't make a lot of sense (after all, the folks who made this happen certainly could have done a lot more than just drop him in San Francisco). What makes FAR less sense, however, is that apparently Tom Paris didn't go aboard later and he has no recollection that anything is wrong--yet, inexplicably, Paris does a lot of insanely dangerous and illegal things because some stranger (Kim) asks him to! It's all very contrived and very illogical...even for "Star Trek: Voyager".
