Fair Trade

Our self appointed chef, morale officer and Ambassador has been under utilised this season and, unusually for Star Trek, the character himself feels this as well especially in the opening act where he is looking for another job to do… eventually realising that his time with the ship maybe drawing to a close.

The coversation in sickbay between Janeway and Neelix to close the show is probably one of the most obvious ‘driving the message’ home pieces of dialogue we’ve had in the franchise for a while now, to my mind it was very clear what the writers wanted the viewer to take away from this episode.
