3.0 out of 5 stars A Chakotay episode, August 21, 2000

By 

[e-mail] (UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Star Trek - Voyager, Episode 65: Distant Origin [VHS] (VHS Tape)

In a Chakotay filled 45 minutes we learn that the second in command has been kidnapped by an alien scientist who wants to use Chakotay to prove his theory about the origin of his species. You see this alien is a member of a very proud race that believe it is the first being to be created on their planet and that they are the most important creation in the Universe. But this maverick scientist believes that their race, the Voth, originated on Earth and that the human's onboard Voyager are his distant ancestors... well apparently he was once a dinosaur so they must be VERY distant ancestors.

This is a strange episode that explores the religion vs. science war and that it is often best to lie to people then give them groundbreaking news that they can't handle.

4.0 out of 5 stars Origin, May 6, 2002

Joe Carlozzo (Midland Park, NJ United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Star Trek - Voyager, Episode 65: Distant Origin [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This episode is very thought provoking in that it deals with a race encountered by the Voyager crew which supposedly evolved from dinosaurs and traveled thousands of light-years from Earth to the Delta quadrant. A scientist from this very advanced species is trying to prove to his people what he calls the "distant origin theory" with the help of Chakotay. His belief is rejected by his people and he is imprisoned along with the Voyager Crew, will they ever escape?

VOYAGER TAKES ON YET ANOTHER INCREDIBLE JOURNEY IN ATTEMPT TO CONNECT SCIENCE AND FACT. THIS TIME THE POSSIBILTY THAT THEY MAY HAVE FOUND A SPECIES WHO ARE RALATED OR EVEN ARE THE DINOSAURS THAT ONCE ROAMED THE EARTH. INTEESTINGLY ENOUGH, IT IS STORIES SUCH AS THESE MAKES THIS SHOW WORKS. THAT MAKES IT STAND OUT FROM THE OTHERS. CONNECTING THE MOST CONTROVERSIALLY SCIENCTIFIC SUBJECTS TO ONE OF THEIR EPISODES. THEY'VE DONE THIS W/ AMELIA AIRHART IN THE 37'S AS WELL AS OTHER STORIES.THE OMEGA DIRECTIVE IS MY THIRD FAVORITE VOY. ANOTHER STORY WHERE TREK IS AT HER BEST.
