Though many here go on and on about what happens to Tuvok, I think this episode is about the "unexplainable killer."
Of course, if we are going to entertain the idea of "Vulcan mind reading," we must also entertain to idea that such mind reading can cause one person's thoughts to infect another persons.
Overall, the episode explores the concept of a killer who murders, for reasons most of us would find unacceptable. For that reason, it is a bold and interesting episode.
Brad Dourif's interpretation of "Suder" is what makes this episode work.
