They advertised this episode as "has voyager stumbled into an alternate universe". I almost wish they had! Please don't advertise it like that in the re-runs. The craziness takes place on the holodeck as one of the doctors latest works of art, And I use the term very loosely as do the crew. And if anyone here has seen TNG's "measure of a man", where Picard defends Data's status/rights as a sentient being, they will recognize the court scenes as a direct rip-off; one that in my opinion was very poorly done.
I like seeing the fate of the other EMH doctors brought up again. I had actually been hoping for it to happen, but not like this. I could not believe that the doctor had chosen this method for getting that point across. Living witness showed an evil version of the crew and I love that episode. But that was the history that Quarren had been taught. But I don't think that display was this despicable and it is despicable to have a crew member write it. The court scenes I mentioned are something you will have to form your own opinion on. But the Doctor and Tom's conversations together really are great, just not enough to save the episode. 1 ½ of 5 stars
