Hello Star Trek fans! Welcome to Rebinge Star Trek Voyager S2E16: Meld. The roller coaster of Star Trek continues as we go from last week's wild Threshold to this week's very serious Meld. Tuvok does an ill-advised mind meld with an unstable Betazed and things go very badly. Guest star Brad Dourif plays the murderous crewman Lon Suder.

In this episode we waffle between a silly story going on in the holodeck where Tom is running an ill-advised betting pool to Tuvok investigating a murder and making some of his own bad decisions. Tuvok and the doctor quickly identify the murderer when a crewman turns up dead, but Tuvok begins to obsess about the motive behind the act. When he can't understand why crewman Suder committed this heinous act, Tuvok decides to try to get inside his mind. Well as you might expect, this does not go well and Tuvok begins to lose control of his emotions and his mind.

It’s a re-watch of a thing you’ve probably already seen but love to watch and talk about. We go deep with every episode, walking you through every scene and analyzing all of the characters and story lines. In each episode we discuss "Women in the Future" and "Janeway's Leadership Corner" while over-analyzing everything.

Be sure to listen to our previous episode S2E15: Threshold where Tom and the captain make salamander babies in a senseless episode of Trek.

Join us next time for S2E17: Dreadnought (not to be confused with Drednok).
