Voyager is a TV show capable of such profound, mind numbing stupidity that it is almost quaint, and I love it. The cast deserved Emmys for reciting this episode's script with straight faces. They bring a bomb on board their ship and try to communicate with it. The doctor tries to protect it's feelings. I'm pretty Starfleet Academy is designed to weed out recruits who would behave like this, and the captain is the worst. Janeway allows the doctor to persuade her to keep the bomb on the ship. Were I on board Voyager I would have no choice other than to mutiny, assume command, and confine any officer who sided with the weapon of mass destruction to the brig. Seriously, you don't stay captain when you act like this. Interestingly, Kate Mulgrew gives the least convincing performance. She looks like she wished she would have called in sick to the set that day so she didn't have to say those lines. This is as bad as Voyager ever got. But it's still Voyager and I still love it.
