Star Trek: Voyager, Series 5, Episode 10. First broadcast on Wednesday 16 December 1998. Stardate: Unknown (2375). This week: a clever script, a complete absence of banter, a frog alien that scores zero on the B’omar Scale, astonishingly good incidental music by Mahler and Tchaikovsky, and two outstanding performances from Mark Harelik and Kate Mulgrew — all working together perfectly to create one of Voyager’s Best Episodes Ever. Enjoy. (You will.)
