This is currently the best episode of the series.
As for voyager, well, Imnsho, voyager was good in the begining, and started to degrade after the introduction of Spieces 8472 (not sure on the #), everything after that finale' just got worse and worse. Untill the final episode of the show which had one of the most anticlimactic endings I've ever seen. (Bested only by the first La Femme Nikita ending, which left me and half my freinds thirsting for the writers blood.

)
Which brings me even futher off topic to my biggest gripe about Voyager; The tameing of 8472. The episode where they make peace with 8472 nearly killed my faith in the whole series. The first time I saw 8472 I was struck with the line "The weak will perish" and I loved the idea of a dimension so thouroughly different, and such a dangerous speices so complete bent on aniallateing everything there was, that even the Borg were powerless against them. (I thought thier defeat was cheesy but anyways) And then someone decided to make them "human", give them human bodies, human emotions, human fear of death, let them negotiate with their enemy. Ugh.
Why?! Couldn't they let the one interesting race in the whole series just play their part and stay gone? I accept that 8472 was too one dimensional (kill, kill, kill some more) to be used as a reocurring villan, but why did they so completely scarr the races concept?
I now return you to your regularily scheduled post.
