Tuvok is assigned the task of teaching a rebellious group of ex-Marquis the ways of Starfleet.
This is a reasonably enjoyable yet highly unoriginal Star Trek episode.
All I can say about the cheese-related shenanigans that drives the sci-fi aspect of the story, is that it is fun.
Likewise are many of the scenes involving Tuvok if you do not think too much about them and try to forget original series episodes like 'The Balance of Terror' and 'The Galileo Seven'. The biggest issue for me is that it portrays Tuvok as inept in his role as a Starfleet Academy training offer, so if you can overcome that you will likely enjoy.
I would have liked to have seen this type of Marquis story earlier in the series and the guest characters return in later episodes but I cannot judge this one on those factors.
Tim Russ leads this one very well. Armand Schultz strays over the top with a few lines but is mostly good as an antagonist written with some clichés.
For me it's a 6.5/10 but I round upwards.
