@MLClark B'Elanna has been trying to hurt herslf. Survivor's guilt?! She says she doesn't feel anything. No guilt for her friends dying.

It boils down to her fear that she'll lose the Voyager crew the way she lost her Maquis friends and everyone else in her life.

Delta Flyer launches at the beginning of the fifth act, later than I projected. ๐Ÿ˜ณ

B'Elanna volunteers to go with Seven,Tom and Harry. (Vorik is kicked out.)

B'Elanna saves the day, no surprise. (5/x)

@MLClark Chakotay finds B'Elanna unconscious in the holodeck ... If the prototype had destroyed itself, wouldn't the program have ended and she'd be lying on the floor? Rhetorical question.

Act Four ... Ah, there's EMH. A few lines, then Janeway dismisses him. Like Neelix, one scene to justify the actor's salary and then exit stage left.

Janeway confronts B'Elanna and relieves her of duty.

Chakotay physically drags B'Elanna into the holodeck! Inappropriate! (4/x)

@MLClark The Malon are building their own delta flyer to enter the gas giant. Janeway declares a space race.

Such a fuss over one probe. I suppose Janeway can't allow the Malon to have Federation tech.

No EMH so far. Maybe Bob Picardo got the semaine off.

B'Elanna disengages safety protocols while testing the Delta Flyer prototype in the holodeck.

The Malon goes Khrushchev on Janeway. Should have banged his shoe on the viewscreen. (3/x)

@MLClark B'Elanna is late for a meeting and distracted. Paris presents his plans for the Delta Flyer. Everyone drools. It should be built by the end of the third act.

B'Elanna blows off Paris to return to the holodeck. She orders MAJEL to disengage safety protocols. (Someone needs to restrict that command to Janeway.) She's fighting Cardassian stuntmen.

The Malon want a Voyager probe caught in a gas giant. The external antagonist du semaine.)

Vorik! (2/x)

@MLClark VOY S5E3 "Exreme Risk" ... comments as we go ...

We're reycling the orbital skydiving suit from "Generations." Waste not. B'Elanna is jumping out of a perfectly good shuttlecraft. She's at 300,000 meters, which is about 186 miles for we Imperials.

Eh, we're on the holodeck. Frak.

Hello, pretty ship ... PRO S2 takes place on the Voyager-A. I wonder if Harry is still an ensign. (1/x)

I shared with the wife's granddaughter a photo of my copy of "Turabian" from 1973. She had no idea what the typewriter font balls are.
