Star Trek VGR Episode 36 - Investigations

One of the craziest cameo appearances ever. King Abdullah II of Jordan has a non speaking role towards the end of the episode. Evidently he is a huge Star Trek fan.

Neelix decides to have a talk show... no lie. He talks about random ship news and other corny variety show type stuff. Meanwhile, Paris (who has been increasingly out of control these past few episodes) finally snaps, he pushes Chakotay and gets put in the brig. He then asks for a transfer off of Voyager and onto a cargo vessel. Which is granted. While being transported he is suddenly abducted by Seska who tries to recruit him. Tuvak figures that the only way that Seska would have known about the transfer is if there was a spy on the ship.... and there is, Jiminy Crickett.

In order to get better ratings for his show...ughh.. Neelix decides to figure out who the spy is. Janeway and Tuvak reveal that this entire Paris incident was a ploy to flush out the spy. Unfortunately, Chakotay had no clue. But anyway, the plan works and Neelix ends up in a fight with Jiminy Crickett. Neelix kills him and Paris escapes from Seska. Even though Neelix was mostly a joke (as usual), I was glad to see his tougher side for once.

36 down 136 to go
