    Great episode. Intellectual, romantic, funny.
    Great episode. I want to go look at who wrote this episode and what other episodes they wrote. The first thing I like is this isn't just a Star Wars gun fight episode. The story really sticks together. I really care about the characters a lot in this episode. The intellectual dilemma is very much top Star Trek level. The humor is excellent. And I didn't have to listen to Neelix name a food by combining its Delta quadrant origin with an Earth vegetable name. :)
