A chance encounter with a prison ship puts Voyager smack in the middle of a heated debate about state punishment and the death penalty.

Case 7.13: Repentance

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.
