Star Trek VGR Episode 119 - Warhead

"The crew rescue a device with artificial intelligence embedded in rock, but it then proceeds to take control of The Doctor and reveals itself to be a weapon of mass destruction."

May be one of the best episodes of season 5. Another old school TOS type plot. This device they find in the rock is a rather cute little robot and seems like it genuinely needs assistance. The Doctor believes it and they bring it aboard Voyager. It soon reveals that it is a WOMD. It tries to finish it's destructive mission., but Kim thwarts its efforts. They soon destroy the warhead ... and also find 30 other warheads in the process. Then at the end a puppet of Ronald Regan emerges from a bed full of water. Remember the Land of Confusion video?? It was horrifying.
