HELL YES! 0324

Finally a decent episode. I was beginning to get annoyed with this season, first off Kes does a complete heel turn or "matures" I suppose and ends up breaking up with Neelix. I mean what? why? I loved that couple so much and Neelix deserved better than that. She ends up running around and sleeping with other men!! *SHOCK*. Plus they wreck the whole canon by doing a going into the future episode, where Kes and Paris have a baby and then Kim marries that baby and has another baby. I was just like WTF??? Although it is established that Paris only ends up with Kes after B'Elanna dies, I was still feeling a little cheated.

Of course when she comes back everything changes. B'Elanna doesn't die and Kes seems in no hurry to try and change the future so that what happens (A happy family life and a loving spouse for Kim) comes to past. Not only that but she's stealing my hairstyle LOL.

Before this episode, we had the Doctor having a family which didn't turn out so good for him, another crummy filler episode. Also In my most hated trope, the "love potion" trope, B'Elanna comes onto Paris which in turns starts their relationship, because some Vulcan mindraped her and she had the "bloodfever" basically the DO ME or die illness. Ugh. Of course he CANNOT resist her, because he's a "man" and men can't control their "sexual urges" but is all noble and doesn't want to do anything to her while she's under the influence. Eventually C-man and Mr.T are all like, just go do it already, and they end up nearly having very rough sex. Before the crazed Vulcan interrupts them.
The whole "i wanna do Chakotay" on her part seems to be left as an loose end and we have to assume she merely got over it in the past three years.

Speaking of which, C-man gets some action with some borg woman he meets on some planet. They share their minds so of course to heal him, now they have to have hot sex because they can feel what the other is feeling (squick). Course C-man's feelings for C'pn J are explained away because this woman is so much like her apparently.

Now finally after all these crummy filler episodes, we've got a decent one. B'Elanna finds a holodeck simulation where the Marquis take over V-cruise. A hark back to season 1 is just what I need right now. Then it turns out that the holographic Sezka, becomes sentient and starts changing things, including making C-man all over her. I was like YES, finally we're getting back to the original plot which seemed to get lost in all the filler.

I hope it gets better, I need me some more Borg episodes.
