Star Trek VGR Episode 16 - Learning Curve

"Tuvok trains several Maquis members who have not fully integrated into the Voyager crew."

The Marquis crew is incredibly defiant and refuse to listen to Tuvok. It's basically like training a bunch of Pirates to be Marines. Neelix suggests that Tuvok change his teaching tactics, which goes completely against the Vulcan's nature. He goes by the book, while the Marquis wing-it.

A pathogen has been released on the ship. They narrow it down to a batch of cheese that Neelix had made ..... cough... Anyway, they increase the heat on the ship in order to kill it.... hmm... And um, the ship gets messed up and Tuvok must work together with his Marquis crew to save the ship. The rest is predictable, they learn from each other and save the ship. This is the Season One finale, and it was a decent episode but a terrible finale. I guess due to a scheduling issue this was the finale by default. It was not intended to be and producers were not happy with this. But, overall I thought season one was good. I was surprised by it. I've said this before that Star Trek has too many episodes and 16 episodes was perfect. Unfortunately from now on Voyager rises up to an annoying 26 episodes per season, ugh.

16 down 156 to go

the Marquis being part of the crew should have been a bigger deal. They weren't jerky enough
