Well, so far, you *have* reached the Nite Owl BBS in Fort Benning, GA.

Assuming this message reaches you, tell me about your opinion about the
Voyager episode Non-Sequitor..

Frankly, all of you people make good points about this episode.  In the
history of Star Trek, I have NEVER seen soooo many great plot concepts
squandered on screen.

I believe that this episode will symbolize all that is great and wrong with
Voyager.  Let's itemize, shall we? <g>

-1-  Forget about TOS;  this episode lifts concepts from ST:III, ST:IV,
Yesterday's Enterprise, Parallels, and Inner Light (amongst others, but you
all get the idea).

-2-  The stock footage syndrome is REALLY bad here. Somebody needs to run a
trivia contest to determine how many scenes were yanked to paste that show
together.. <BEG>

-3-  Not since ST:III have we seen such a poor display of Starfleet Security
(wait a sec - there was that lone officer that took Bones into custody, but
he was the exception) in action. No wonder Worf was recruited to help out
over at DS9...

-4-  Related subject: the Comm Badge.  At least Worf took his off before he
made sushi out of Duras on TNG.  Why didn't we hear that transporter hum from
Starfleet Security???

-5-  This should have been a two-parter!!!  We finally have a Trek episode
(other than Family) which depicts life on Earth in the 24th century. Over the
course of two shows, we could have had the production values that we should
have had on this one!  The suspense could have been genuine, and we would
have been treated to some scenes that we should have seen the first time.

WHAT WORKED:

The relationship between Tom and Harry was nice, if a bit contrived. And
although Harry's sense of duty was noble, the real gem was watching Kim in
action as he worked to solve his problem. Tom's sacrifice is yet another
theme repeated on Trek, but it is still welcomed here.

This one is like "The 37's" - great concept that died young due to rushed
production values, chatty talk-a-thons, and a hastened ending that could have
been, rather SHOULD have been a memorabe hour of Star Trek.

*sigh*  I liked watching it the first time.  Repeat viewings will leave you
frustrated, so beware.  Let's try it again next week, shall we? <g>
