Second half of Future's End, just as full as silliness as the first, including the showdown between a big rig and a VW Microbus.

Sorry if it was in the wrong place. It was like a race with the devil to get the damn thing up before work.

Is it just me or is the love interest in this episode play Sarah Silvermen?

I think the summary hits the nail square on the head: people like this episode because it tries something different. It's one of the few times where Voyager really tried to break the mould, in everything from the setting to certain elements of the plot - like, for instance, Braxton's Doc Brown impression which was a level of focused whimsy rarely seen outside of Picardo's scenes - and when you don't overthink the plot it actually works. What I perhaps appreciate most is that it's one of those times when it really feels like the people making the episodes cared for it and wanted to make something not just adequate, but truly impressive. You can question wether that worked, but it was sure refreshing to see an episode that wasn't afraid to ditch the Voyager Plot Rulebook.
Re: OVEG: Future's End, Part II
Either this or "The Q and the Grey" was the last Voyager episode I actually watched completely (I once caught one of the season premieres at the very end - the one with the fake Starfleet transwarp ship)..... wait, no, I'm an idiot, the 100th episode was the last I saw because it was gonna have Geordi in it. Big mistake there.....
But yeah, by the end of Season 2 I'd given up completely on Voyager and only caught episodes once and a while if they caught my interest ("Flashback", obviously, and this one due to the time travel bit). A good thing too, apparently.
Thanks for the fun read, Chuck.

I'm a bit surprised you haven't even done a full text review of "Fair Trade" yet. Neelix insists that he had never lied to them prior to that episode.

I do "kind of like" the episode but mainly because it is the Start of the Doctors Arc, after this episode he is used a lot more because he is not tied to sick bay.
There's a great difference between potential and developed power. The one is clearly visible and can be awe-inspiring. The other may take a demigod to recognize.
