    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      In 2003, Brannon Braga said, "It's a terrible episode. People are very unforgiving about that episode. I've written well over a hundred episodes of Star Trek, yet it seems to be the only episode anyone brings up, you know? 'Brannon Braga, who wrote 'Threshold'!' Out of a hundred and some episodes, you're gonna have some stinkers! Unfortunately, that was a royal, steaming stinker."
    • Goofs
      When the mutated Paris carries unconscious Captain Janeway and gently puts her down, the Captain holds her head steady, instead of having it hang down, as it does for an truly unconscious person.
    • Quotes

      The Doctor: [examining the unconscious Paris] From what I can tell, he's just... asleep.

      The Doctor: Can you wake him?

      The Doctor: I don't see why not.

      [bends down to Paris]

      The Doctor: WAKE UP, LIEUTENANT!

    Great Episode
    Do all the people hating on this episode think Voyager is a good show? They are watching this series all wrong. Watch it like a B movie. Watch it like a daytime soap opera set in space. This show is not Ray Bradbury, Philip Dick, or Harlan Ellison.

    Where this show fails is slapping together the same old plots, getting preachy about star fleet nonsense, or taking itself too seriously. TNG was meaningfully Utopian. Voyager is a tired rehash that's lost in space.

    This is an original episode worth watching. It's not perfect, but one of the more entertaining episodes in the first 1.5 seasons. I found myself watching it rather than doing chores with it on in the background. It has a great Cronenberg vibe. True to that style the ending is gross and weird. I would have enjoyed more time seeing the Salamanders living their lives as the next level of human evolution. Would they decide the wear cloths? We'll never know. But sometimes it's best to let the audience imagine.
