Deep within a secret laboratory in the deserts of Nevada, a team of government researchers smashes through sacrosanct boundaries of science and ethics to finally achieve ABSOLUTE PICARDO— and an episode of Voyager is born! Will the Doctor lose himself in a labyrinth of his own schtick? Will his ridiculous daydreams save the ship from an unseen legion of space-faring potato men? Is “Tinker, Tenor, Doctor, Spy” GOOD… or is it GARBAGE?

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.
