Episode Summary & Review

Summary

Lt. Paris and Ensign Kim are accused of being members of a terrorist group called ‘Open Sky’ and imprisoned; Nexis is asked to use his ship on a special mission to help them.

Our Take

A tense bottle episode that mostly works thanks to Robert Duncan McNeill and Garrett Wang playing off each other in a cramped prison cell. The paranoia device is a bit convenient, but the friendship between Paris and Kim gets real weight here for once. It drags a little when the action shifts back to Voyager. Worth a watch if you like the character stuff.
