All in all, this episode was a painful one and so far the only episode of Voyager I've come to review/write about due to my experience. There are some fantastic episodes in all the seasons and I was looking forward to this season's episodes after the stellar beginnings however this one left me with a sour taste in my mouth.
It effectively uses pseudoscience and leaps of faith on the audience's part in order to skip many unanswered questions. The episode's moral is simple: Hate is taught, not something you're born with.
However, the way that it is taught to the characters in this episode are vague and confusing. They attempt to tell you with simple, very idiotic explanations as to how this is achieved however what you EXPERIENCE and what they said happen don't seem to match.
In the end, I understand what they were driving at here however just because it's science FICTION doesn't mean you can have swiss-cheese plot lines and holes in your concept wide enough to drive trucks through.
