Star Trek VGR Episode 6 - The Cloud

"The crew enter a nebula to collect samples before realizing it is a living organism, and not before doing it an injury."

Classic Star Trek plot in which they find some sort of creature floating in space. Not too much going on here. Neelix has taken over as the ships chef (to save power on replicators) and morale officer. Kim and Harry go into the holodeck to a French whore house?? and meet a famous pool player. Chakotay helps Janeway discover her animal guide, a gecko. This is the first that I realized that Chakotay was a Native American. That is cool. It would have also been interesting if they made him a "Native American" from the planet in which Kirk became Kirok. Plus if their so concerned about power, then why are they wasting energy using the holodeck?

So after taking Voyager through the nebula, they discover that it was actually a living being and that they have injured it. So they bring the ship back inside and seal the wound using the ships engines as an energy beam. They fix the creature but use up precious power. Neelix knows of a planet nearby that they may be able to get some energy from, so the episode ends with them heading out.

Also, the guy that owns the junkyard on Breaking Bad is in this episode.
