Intelligence report
The only thing that is sexier than a Vulcan male or a Klingon female is a Vulcan male and a Klingon female.This is the lustiest Star trek episode ever, with rampaging hormones surging all over the place and intimate investigations of sexual mores and mating practices; it was all a little moist for this Trekkie. I nearly slid off the couch.
What annoyed me, however, is that I'd already imagined the whole darned scenario (but with myself as the Vulcan undergoing pon farr - I want those ears!) during one of my more hormonal creative imagination sessions. What really delighted me (apart from the rumpy pumpy) was the strong evolution of the relationship between B'Elanna and Tom. What a sacrifice, to forgo sex with the one you are falling in love with in the hope that one day you'll get more. Tom always was a gambler.
What's even more exciting is that Voyager runs into some old friends of the UFP: The Borg. Guess who's coming to dinner...
