Episode Summary & Review
Summary
Voyager’s crew fights off alien vessels; a holodeck accident cause the Doctor’s memory circuits to fail; Lt. Paris and Belana are injured.
Our Take
The Doctor’s failing memory is the real story here, and Robert Picardo makes the most of it, especially once a holographic Dr. Zimmerman shows up to basically argue with himself. The alien swarm stuff is forgettable filler by comparison. A solid hour carried almost entirely by one performance, worth it for the Doctor scenes alone.
