In the Star Trek: Voyager episose Renaissance Man, The Doctor doesn't quite seem himself. In fact, he seems like just about everyone else on the senior staff. But the impersonations are part of a high-stakes mission: rescue Captain Janeway from a hostile alien race despite her veryspecific orders not to. It's EMH meets ECH meets identity crisis when Renaissance Man goes into the Mission Log.

Hosted by John Champion and Norman Lao
