Having missed a previous transmission from Starfleet, Voyager receives a holographic program of Reginald Barclay bearing plans to get them home quickly. Once again hopes run high, which leaves some crewmen leery, having gone down this road of hopefulness with unfortunate outcomes too many times before. Turns out that wariness is good as the transmitted program has been compromised. Written by statmanjeff
Another opportunity to return home arises in the shape of a geodesic fold and a transmitted message from Starfleet.
This is a predictable episode where again we see hopes raised that Voyager will soon finish its journey, but really we know all is not what it seems. At least this one seems to have a bit of fun with the concept.
The highlight for me is seeing the Reg Barclay portrayed in holographic form showing totally different character traits from his human counterpart. It's almost a relief to see him confident, decisive and displaying none of the neurotic tendencies that can be overbearing in other episodes.
As always a Reg episode comes with the obligatory scenes with Deanna Troi. On this occasion I can't help but feel like they are an excuse to show Marina Sirtis in a bathing suit and have her throw a few more references to the Enterprise in for the sake of some franchise crossover.
There are entertaining moments such as when the truth is revealed and particularly in one quite self-referential moment at the end involving Tom, B'Elanna and joke they play on the gullible Harry Kim.
