Warning: Spoilers
The Doctor does his best to strand everyone permanently through a series of assaults, kidnappings, impersonating fellow crewmen including the captain, the first officer and several lieutentants, stealing high tech federation technology to give to the local space d-bags, disobeying direct orders, oh and sabotaging their whole mission of getting back home!!! These things surely are worthy of space hanging. Instead he gets a cup of coffee with the captain at the end... WHAT

It makes no sense that the doctor does these things and the reasons given aren't nearly enough. They should have written it that his program was taken over by aliens or something and thats why he commited high space treason. Then maybe in the attempt to get him back to normal he almost gets deleted in the process, that would have had some actual emotional impact. Instead it's totally ridiculous.

By the end we hate the doctor and want him punished but the writers were too stupid to understand basic story telling. But hey it's well known you don't need talent to be hired as a Star Trek writer, in fact I think they actively avoid it most of the time.

Stupid, frustrating, and weak plot. I hope the finale will be less ghastly.
