When Neelix (Ethan Phillips) is killed on an away mission, his body lies dead for eighteen hours before Seven of Nine (Jeri Ryan) employs Borg technology to revive him. However, realising that he has not gone to the after-life promised by his forefathers, Neelix's gratitude is short-lived, and he begins to question his own beliefs and his reasons to continue living...

Intelligence report

The trouble with Star trek is that when someone dies, you can never be sure They™ won't technobabble them back to life, and this is Neelix's second dice with death (remember the Vidiian episode where they stole his lungs?) Anyway, you're always better off not reading the synopsis until after you've seen the episode, because they always give away lots of good surprises, like... Neelix dies!

At first I thought they'd finally gotten rid of the annoying little being, but Seven wandered into Sickbay and revived him with all the emotional involvement of fixing a broken flux capacitor. She goes off!

But the real meat of the story comes from questioning the whole life after death thing, and it's a good start for a late night discussion of life, death, and the universe; a good piece of Star trek. Watch it.
