Description: There's a really freaky holographic guy on an alien ship, who killed EVERYONE on board. Then he calls for more help, apparently to look for more people to kill once he fixes his ship. The Doctor and Torres are sent to check it out.

Meanwhile, Harry "hormone" Kim is assigned to work on the new astrometrics lab with Seven "dual airbags" of Nine. Harry makes several attempts to boldly go where no man has gone before. Of course, in the end, his senior officer failed to salute. But enough of the disgusting subplot.

The hologram gives us his in-depth point of view on organics, the disgusting creatures whom he has served, and who "I am disgusted to be made in your image!!!!" He has some issues. After plunging his hand into Torres chest (which is an advanced Klingon mating ritual I think) his program is taken off-line. The Doctor, who had been bonding with him, is now disgusted by his behavior, so the hologram attacks him with a hammer, and disables his mobile emmiter. Torres then kills him with a huge pipe of some kind that was foreshadowed in Act I. Everyone is back to normal and happy, except for the dead crew and the hologram. Oh and Seven is hot.

Comments: The main plot was so-so, not bad, but not great. The subplot with Harry and Seven was truly priceless though. Harry apparently, if things continue, will eventually have hit on every organic lifeform in the quadrant. Think of him as Kirk without the self-control. I did find the speech the hologram gave about organics creepy but entertaining. Pity he's such a freak.

Special Silvermoose Commentary: If Janeway would've met the hologram she would've given him a starfleet commbadge. You've got a mental problem? Welcome aboard! We've given out commbadges to a garbage man(Neelix), a borg, a group of terrorists, and a convicted felon. Why not a hologram with psycopathic tendencies?

For more entertainment try this game. Everytime you hear the word "borg" mentioned substitute the word "nazi". It makes even old episodes classic.

Rating: 7

Best Moment: See Seven of Nine Moment. I'm sorry but there's just no topping that.

Seven of Nine Moment: The words every Trekkie wants to hear. "Sexuality is particularly complex...Nevertheless I am willing to explore my humanity. Take off your clothes.....Don't worry, I won't hurt you." You can't make up stuff like this!

Stupid Neelix Moment: Neelix is made the ambassador. Apparently starfleet promotion goes from garbage man, to cook, to ambassador. Pity he didn't hold out for a year polishing the deck, he could've become President of the Federation. Then again, the gardener(Boothby) is their undeclared king, so what do you expect.

Continuity Question: Ah, compatibility in Trek. Why is it they can take a program designed by a race they've never met and instantlyput it into their system, but Internet Explorer crashes every other day on a system it's designed for? Apparently, they can "compensate". I guess Microsoft no longer exists in the future.
