When a Nezu planet is bombarded by asteroids and its inhabitants face
evacuation, the U.S.S. Voyager intervenes by sending Tuvok and Neelix to join
several prominent members of the Nezu on a rescue mission. Soon it is learned
that there's a traitor in their midst, and Tuvok's condescending attitude
pushes Neelix to the breaking point.
This episode carries a "TV PG" parental guideline.

| I'm confused, who are the Nezu, have we met them before?
Any way...
spoiler
Being shut up with Tuvak and Neelix would try anyones temper I would
think.
I know it's not nice, but when Neelix was injured I was hoping he would
not recover.
The story itself was not bad, although everywhere you look on TV these
day's there are meteors or some such thing raining down on unsuspecting
planets.
The exchange at the end between Tuvak and Neelix, about having the last
word was good.

| the commercials for this are funny - considering all the hoopla the
Asteroid mini-series on NBC had (and it was a rather bad show).
"this will kick NBC's ass...teroid" "Be ready to have your TV rocked"
Though having rocks show up sure seems to be the theme. Wonder if the
rock used in the DS9 episode for the cardassian detention center is the
same rock special effect?

Doubt it. The Voyager graphics are now being done by Foundation
Imaging, who had done Babylon 5's graphics until this year.
But I haven't heard anything about them doing DS9 graphics.
Voyager is a UPN show, and DS9 is syndicated, and I think the
two are kept fairly separate.
Besides, rocks are probably pretty easy to do.

Does this mean they plan to introduce Isaac Asimov plots in the show? I can
see it now:
Foundation and the Klingon Empire
Foundation, the Next Generation
City on the Foundation's Edge of Forever
The Best of Both Foundations
Foundation (TOS)

| Pretty good episode. The story line seemed a little weird at the beginning,
but then moved along quite nicely. I thought for sure they were going to have
an Agatha Christie style investigation of a murder in close quarters at the
end; I expected Poirot to show up any minute. The Tuvok-Neelix dialog was very
nicely done; I liked how Tuvok showed just a hint of frustration and
insecurity, and I liked how Neelix finally blew up about the situation.
I like Neelix; the odd guy, trying to look important, insecure on the inside
and trying too hard on the outside, not fitting in too well -- reminds of some
people I know.

| I really liked the dialog at the end too. It reminded me of the best of the
Spock/McCoy dialog in TOS.

| I liked it that they used the idea of an orbital tether. I would have liked it
better if they had some more/better FX of it. It would have been fun to see a
view of the space end looking down. I also thought it was kind of funny that
Neelix ended up, "Flight of the Phoenix"-like only knowing models!
