Captain Janeway has to untangle an improbable moral dilemma involving Tuvok. Join your life-affirming hosts as they discuss the differences in Q-episode vibes between TNG and Voyager, the many interesting philosophical and moral questions this episode raises (and those it does not fully explore), and of course Dan plays each of the characters saying the word “suicide” so often as to render the word aurally meaningless.

Spoiler warning! We dive right into a detail-rich discussion of this episode of Star Trek: Voyager, so if you haven’t had a chance to see it yet – beware!

Next week: Dan’s algorithm will tell the tale. Or, more accurately, will tell us which episode we’ll be watching. Check the website or our social media to find out what it will be! Hint: it’s probably going to be a TOS episode.

Note that this and all episodes of the It’s Got Star Trek podcast contain explicit language and, frankly, an unnecessary amount of offensive content, so the show is intended only for adults and really really cool kids.
