Star Trek: Voyager: Season 4

4x20 Vis à Vis

Once the body-swapping stuff begins it manages to become more fun that it initially suggested it would be. I was impressed that Dan Butler managed to work some of Robert Duncan McNeill's mannerisms as Tom into his performance. But overall, this episode doesn't really do anywhere near enough with the premise. The swap into Janeway seemed a little bit nonsense to me, and it's all wrapped up easily after that. There's some godawful exposition in the dialogue at points, too.

It's kind of odd now to see Paris acting like a brat (even before he gets swapped with Steth). Looks like he's suffering from depression, which the episode didn't really bother to address. That would be something I'd like to see.

Did I miss something, or did the coaxial warp drive work fine after Tom added his carburettor? Are the Voyager crew ignoring a perfectly good method of getting them home faster again?

@lefthandedguitarist Hey, it's Voyager. They didn't bother explaining why Tom all off a sudden is unhappy. Why should they bother explaining about that propulsion method ?
