In an especially far-fetched episode of Voyager, a prominent think tank jeopardizes the well-being of their clients in support of their own bottom line! Crazy, right? Can Janeway and Seven outthink the thinkingest bunch of thinkers in the Delta Quadrant? Will a guest spot from the star of the TV remake of Bye Bye Birdie (he was also on Seinfeld) sway the court’s opinion? Is “Think Tank” GOOD... or is it GARBAGE?

Case 5.20: Think Tank

Is Star Trek: Voyager good... or is it garbage? Journey forward to the courtroom of the Honorable Judge Midnightien Later as he seeks to discern a final and legally-binding answer to this and other perplexing questions, one Voyager episode at a time. Is Janeway the purest exemplar of the overarching Star Trek ethos, or does she personify the dangers of dogmatic adherence to Starfleet’s institutional code? Is the Voyager a pretty ship? Why does the theme song never speed up? The court’s only hope for finding answers are three voices from the ancient past: The apologist, the hater, and the dude who is watching it all for the first time.
