Best "Clip Show" Ever
LindaY13 April 2012
Many series have a point where they want to take a break or they are over budget. To take care of this they produce what is called a "clip show" or a "bread and butter episode," where most of the action happens in flashbacks. Leave it to VOYAGERS! to turn this concept on its head and offer us, along with the clips, an episode that introduces us to the Voyager Tribunal (revealing something about the society Phineas Bogg is part of), a character Bogg mentioned in the first episode, and a "Moriarty" for future episodes, the sinister Drake, played to slimy perfection by Stephen Liska. Never has a clip show done so much by trying to save money. A super episode!

Bogg before the Voyagers Tribunal
bkoganbing8 March 2019
Most of this episode is taken up with Jon-Erik Hexum taken before the Voyager Tribunal on charges of violating the Voyager code. In point of fact he's been kind of winging it ever since he lost the guidebook and picked up Meeno Peluce all quite accidentally.

Clips from the previous shows are of course utilized. Not to say what the end will be but had Voyager gotten another season we would have seen a lot more of Stephen Lisa playing the star chamber like prosecutor Drake.

It all ends with saving the Texas Republic and Sam Houston. In real life Houston never got that close to his Mexican foes to have been captured.

I would love to have seen Jon-Erik Hexum and Stephen Liska going at it in more stories. Just like the Doctor and the Master.
