Hopefully back to some weekly updates, your one stop shop for mockery of Voyager (I believe in truth in advertising). Phage, episode five of the series, introduces us to the Viidians, a race that looks like overcooked pizza. This is also that little slice of heaven that shows what Neelix would be like if someone stole his lungs: just as annoying, but now also filled with self-pity. A thorough examination, complete with the neverending bitchslap.
Their immuno-technology is simply not up to stopping this thing, so the only way for them to survive is to steal organs, killing others so that they may live. Since Janeway basically lives her life by that code, she expresses her sympathy, but demands Neelix's lungs back. Well, turns out the aliens have already surgically implanted those organs into one of them, which means killing one of them. This is truly a moral dilemma for Janeway: on the one hand, she has a great opportunity to kill someone, but on the other hand, she'd then be saving Neelix's life. Tough call.
I always like to tag each review with one of the silliest lines of the episode. The Doctor reflects the question I asked all throughout the series: why take you best pilot and put him in a job that he is barely better at than anyone else on board?
Dude, put a link to the main in your sig. I love the reviews, because they point out the stupidity in layman's terms, and look at the "soft skills" stupidity as well as the technical munging.

Why oh why did you spend money on Voyager DVDs? Aren't they around $100 a season?

In one of the earlier reviews, or the Janeway description, he mentioned having the DVDs. Most of the screenshots would only be possible from a DVD, too.

JANEWAY: Can’t we fit him with a pair of artificial lungs?
EMH: His respiratory system is directly linked to multiple points along his spinal column. It’s too complex to replicate. I may be able to surgically reattach the organs if we get them back. In the meantime I’ll have to search for other options.

They could've used something like that "clone Riker" trick without cloning the whole person, and clone a lung for Neelix.
Or recall some pattern buffer in the transporter and overlap it while transporting him, like how the 20th century Earth guy was removed of his memories in TOS.
On a fun thought, modify the drug Bone's gave that old lady in ST:IV (though this is based on a dialogue so its just a fun thought).

They cram seven people into an area the size of a large elevator, and every one needs to have their tricorder out... sometimes I actually feel bad for mocking this; it feels like I'm just pushing over a tubby child.
Thanks everybody, I'm glad you like them. Like I said, I'm going to try to get more disciplined and keep them coming.

D'oh. [/homer] I never check the buttons because I don't use them.

Forget I said anything.

Ok here's something if they couldn't replicate his lungs why didn't they generate a few sets of organs and give them organs to the people suffereing from their phage. Hell just give them replicators and they could repliacte enough for there own needs.

Sometimes we can choose the path we follow. Sometimes our choices are made for us. And sometimes we have no choice at all

Wait... you though they would be using logic to make their decisions?
