The Gift – Kes is rapidly “changing” and “becoming something else” (namely expendable with the arrival of Seven of Nine), so her psychokinetic abilities are running amok. Naturally, the Borg rapidly renege on the deal (shocker!), but Janeway et al are way too clever to completely trust them. Scorpion, Part II – A Borg drone is assigned to work with Janeway, Tuvok and the Voyager crew, who come up with an ingenious biological weapon to use against Species 8472. The introduction of Seven to the cast also results in the swift ejection of Kes from Star Trek: Voyager, regrettable only in that she didn’t take freakin’ Neelix with her…ġ. the mouthpiece for outsiders to learn human culture. In return, the so-called “Seven of Nine” rapidly begins stealing the show, along with the companionship of the Doctor these two characters essentially become a fragmented Data, i.e. Stealing the drone through whom the Borg communicated with voyager’s crew during the season-opening battle with Species 8472. If not all of Star Trek.This is when Voyager becomes assimilated – not merely by Borg- and Borg technology-centered episodes, but also by the new character Seven of Nine herself. Threshold isn’t just the strangest episode in my opinion but arguably the worst in Voyager history. It’s cringe-inducing at the highest level. As weird and gross as Next Generation’s Conspiracy is, the fact that Janeway and Paris had slug babies together is just the worst of ideas ever. This isn’t a science fiction trope, this is a science fiction nightmare. All while leaving the Paris-Janeway broad on the planet to be eaten, probably. They eventually turn into slug creatures, doink, have kids, and have the whole processed reversed returning them to normal. In doing so, he ends up capturing Kathryn Janeway, repeating the same test flight with her, and causing her to de-evolve as well. Threshold is just creepy from top to bottom.īasically it boils down to Tom Paris going on a test flight that sees him go too fast and start to de-evolve. Yet, Voyager’s Threshold is…well it’s just whacked. Conspiracy features a relatively common science fiction trope. That despite this huge reveal, nothing is ever mentioned again about the incidents in Conspiracy.Ī fair point but one that I think negates the question at hand. Partly because her reason for placing Conspiracy number one has to do with the serialized nature of the storytelling. I disagree, however, and think Star Trek: Voyager‘s Threshold is the most bizarre. To be fair, it’s one of the most haunting and graphic moments in the show’s history. Now, everyone’s entitled to their own opinion and Screenrant writer Stephanie Marceau believes that The Next Generation episode Conspiracy is the one that really deserves to be labeled the most bizarre. Eating Deonna Troi when she’s a cake? Yeah, Star Trek is a bizarre adventure for sure and has a list of episodes to pick from. While reading through Star Trek stories, I found one from Screenrant talking about the top ten most bizarre episodes in Star Trek lore. The most bizarre episode has to be Star Trek: Voyager’s Threshold, right?
