Voyager finally begins to ramp up with Basics, including a slight detour into... all of the roles Star Trek folks have voiced in video games? Just kidding, this episode isn't exclusively about that.
Lon Sudar. Wow. What else can we say. Brad Dourif brings this performance to life and really shines in this two-parter in a way we haven't seen before. Janeway really shows her stuff in this episode, but for some reason can't bring herself to leave Neelix stranded on a planet with no way to escape.
