I add some points for the tether. A long theorized actual engineering project. I deduct some points for Neelix being involved.
Can't they just leave Neelix and Kes on some desolate asteroid with no atmosphere...?
Neelix: Darn it, I'm going on this away team and I just can't get Tuvok to respect me.
Tuvok: I do not respect you, Neelix.
Neelix: But look, I can save our lives in an emergency.
Tuvok: I now respect you, Neelix.
Could this episode be any more formulaic? Also, that's one of the worst space battles I've ever seen, Voyager just sits there and gets shot.
Although, the orbital tether platform is cool.
I'll never understand the Neelix hate, I liked him from Season 1.
This episode adds a lot to both his character, and to Tuvoks.
I do like the parts concerning Neelix and Tuvok. Despite the fact that Tuvok is so uber-Vulcan that you want to punch him constantly. The fact that Neelix is the only one who can "pilot" that craft was thin. How do they beam unto Voyager during a battle with shields up ? And explaning everything at the end was really not nessessary, wasn't it? Those details are important, they make all the difference.
Something personal: I sure could have done without seeing Neelix in a tightfit jumpsuit.
So many layers to the story! These are the star trek episodes I live for!

How were they able to beam aboard Tuvok and Neelix when they were in combat with their shields up. Who wrote this.
