I had a nice lengthy review and the Blogger decided to eat it...so...f*** you Blogger...I'm not writing the review over again.
Overall Rating: 6.8
A decent idea for a moral dilemma that gets wasted when the writer finds the "Voyager Escape Clause" to avoid answering that moral dilemma. As a result it lacked emotional resonance.
Writing: 5.5
Lazy conflict resolution + good character work for McKay but lacking in memorable dialogue otherwise. Very Voyager-writer-esque...and that's not a compliment.
Acting: 8.0
Any life this episode does have comes from good acting by David Hewlett...the rest is distinctly bland.
Message: 7.0
Good try...I'll give them credit for at least coming down firmly against ritualized suicide and population control...albeit they did so in an unrealistically "easy" way.
