"A wounded alien is brought on board from a stranded vessel and attaches itself to B'Elanna Torres."
Such a TOS throwback. Voyager responds to a distress call and find a wounded alien that looks like a big scorpion. It jumps off the table and laches onto Bianna's neck. It looks very "old Star Trek", as in tacky, but I really liked it. It begins to suck the life from Torres. The Doctor summons the help of a Cardassian hologram physician who was knowledgeable about this. Nobody trusts him because Cardassians are considered villainous, even Torres would rather die than receive his medical assistance.
An Ensign suddenly proclaims that the physician is actually a war criminal. The Doctor eventually finds this to be true. This Cardassian physician experimented on living people. This reminded me of a documentary that I watched on a Japanese doctor during WWII that did autopsies on living people ... no anesthetic! Now the question is posed; does he let the hologram help or not ... even though he is a war criminal he is also just a hologram of the original man. Also, should the Doctor shut down this program forever?

Here's my question about Klingons... would they really have developed the apostrophe? Why is the apostrophe always supposed to be alien? Isn't a symbol created to replace having to spell (or even vocalize) a bunch of letter so lazy it's the ultimate in human kind?
That is too funny. It actually makes sense though. Why would they have the apostrophe??
