First-time away team leader Harry Kim looks into the glowing lights of a sophisticated weapon of mass destruction and sees the tender eyes of a new friend! Will he be able to talk it down once it hijacks the Doctor and the entire ship? Will Borg nanoprobes save the day? Will Janeway ever again let Harry off the ship unsupervised?

Case 5.25: Warhead

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.

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.
