That’s a sad story, Jetrel, but let me tell you another one. A man goes back to Rinax after the Cascade. Back to what had been his home, to look for survivors. But the impact of the blast has set off hundreds of fires, and there’s nothing there. Just smouldering ruins and the stench of seared flesh. But in the distance, in the middle of all that emptiness, from out of this huge cloud of billowing dust, he can see bodies moving, whimpering, coming toward him. They’re monsters, their flesh horribly charred, the colour of shale. One of them comes toward him, mangled arms outstretched, and he can’t help it, he turns away frightened. But then the thing speaks and he knows by the sound of her voice that she’s not a monster at all, but a child. A little girl.
This one was sad
It made me remember ‘Duet’ a little bit, Duet is better because we already knew so much about Bajorans and Cardassians and all the tension, but this one was pretty good, considering the episodes of this first season
Also, I think this episode made me like Neelix at least a little bit
One good thing in this first season of Voyager is watch the Doctor barely restraining himself in rolling his eyes at his patients
