Review of Worst Case Scenario

B'Elanna finds a hidden holonovel on the computer which features a mutiny from Chakotay and his Maquis comrades against Janeway. This story soon becomes popular among the crew. The problem though: It is unfinished and has no ending. When Tuvok tries to add more story to the plot he triggers a trap from Seska. She has programmed herself into this novel and suddenly this mutiny becomes a lot more dangerous than it was meant to be.

While I also think that this episode could have played out differently and it was fun to watch how everyone wanted to add his ideas to the plot, I don't find the appearance of Seska too bad either. It has flaws though. I don't get what her motivations were to reprogram this novel. If she wanted to sabotage Voyager and kill some of her former crew mates, she could have done that the moment she appeared and removed the safety measures from the holodeck. Instead she let Chakotay and Paris run and plays cat and mouse. Yet, later she wants to execute them both after they have been captured. So, what is the point of all this? It makes no sense. If she wanted revenge, she would have acted immediately. Playing a story in this novel doesn't benefit her at all. She wouldn't be there anyhow to "enjoy" her little tortures.
