Episode Info

Hoshi Sato has a pet slug that she picked up, and it’s not doing well in its new environment. Meanwhile, the crew, tired of a dying slug being their most exciting encounter, are glad to find a stranded ship. There are no lifesigns, so they board only to find bodies being harvested for something like lymphatic fluid. As they are examining, the people who left the pump extracting fluids from the dead bodies show up in a large, cool, crab-like ship. The crew postulates that this is the slug race coming to rescue the slug Hoshi abducted. What happens? Find out in this episode of Treknologic!

True Love

 Ah, True Love – What this episode is all about!

 

Star Trek VOY: Lifesigns
Season 2, Episode 19
TNL Rating: 6 Solid
Running Time 1:29

Crew of the Relativity

  • Captain Chris Sixx, a Trill
  • Science Officer Keri, possibly a Q
  • Engineering Officer Mike, a photonic engineer
  • Helmsman Bill, a human?

Join the crew of the USS Relativity in the 31st century as they travel back in time to review previous missions of great Starfleet ships. After reviewing each episode, the crew also tries earning a quatload of quatloos by answering historical trivia.

Episode Info

A non-aggressive, critically ill vidiian is brought on board. The Doctor is able to save her brain functions by transmitting them to the ship’s memory and implanting those in a hologram. Thus, Doctor Denara Pel is brought to life as a partially photonic being. Together, they work on the illness, but while working together, they started to fall in love. This was definitely the Doctor’s first love, and perhaps Denara’s as well. It’s like watching an early teen romance. The acting is superb, but this episode is marred by flawed the flawed B and C plots of Paris’ impudence, and the mole’s secret communications.

applying epidermal layers
Applying the epidermal layers to the hologram, while fancy, is just silly. Still, the coolness won us over.
gigolo
Neelix and “the gigolo” (as credited) scare Doctor Denara Pel. I would be scared too!
studying the patient
Kes, the Doctor, and Doctor Denara Pel discuss the patient, Doctor Denara Pel.
Chakotay on the floor
Tom barely pushed Chakotay, and Chakotay took a fall – as if purposefully trying to get Paris in more trouble. It worked, but it was lame.
Suicide for 2 days of happiness
Denara is effectively trying to commit suicide for two days of happiness. She’s caught after she realizes that the Doctor would be playing Sherlock for the next two days.

TNL152 Star Trek TOS The Conscience of the King

Riley sneaks up on Kodos

Lt. Kevin Riley preparing to avenge his parents by murdering Kodos the Executioner

Star Trek TOS: The Conscience of the King, TNL Rating: 5/10 Average, running time 1:44.

Join the crew of the USS Relativity in the 31st century as they travel back in time to review the TOS episode The Conscience of the King. The crew will also try to earn a quatload of quatloos by answering historical trivia after the review. So join Captain Chris Sixx, Science Officer Keri, Chief Engineer Mike, and Helmsman Bill for this week’s mission.

This episode’s photo shows an excellent shot of Lt. Kevin Riley sneaking up on Kodos during the play. We thought it was really great to see some of the background characters get more screen time, and this background on Riley was great. Too bad he was only in two episodes.
