Star Trek: Voyager: Season 6

6x18 Ashes to Ashes

The premise of this story is nonsense. Obviously. Well, maybe there's a strong philosophical core to that special variant of procreation but the episode fails to explore this thoroughly. The main story is just boring - Kim Rhodes isn't to blame. But how could I be attached to Lyndsay? It is said she was a dear crew member tragically lost. Yet she's new to us. Couldn't they have brought someone back we actually lost in a previous season? Plus, for production reasons, it's clear from the beginning that she won't stay aboard. Plus: Harry Kim and his love interests ... Not one of these sexy/horny/romantic Harry stories has ever worked. And the quality of this love story ain't different. As a comedy it works though: commencing fun, punishment protocols, scheduled recreational activities, an awkward captain's dinner, unruly Borg, clay busts.
