Basics: Part I

Chikotay becomes the fulcrum in this final episode of Season Two. Once again, Ceska, one of the biggest rats in any setting, pretends she is in grave danger, showing Chikotay "his son." He is not his son. He is a product of deception and is used to play on human sympathies and good will. When that Kazon guy comes on board, it should have been obvious that there was something up. Funny, the Doctor didn't notice his planted device. I am tired of the Native American stuff and the literal appearance of spirits on demand. I think this is a bit insulting. Did anyone notice how the father didn't let his son tell him a few more details. Did anyone ever weigh the value of the entire crew over Chikotay's forced paternal being? But all the foolishness of Janeway and the rest, we are left with a cliffhanger going into Season Three. The crew is on a prehistoric planet. By the way. Why did the Kazon not just kill everyone? They would have eliminated a lot of trouble. They are a bloodthirsty lot and it would have been in character.
