Best of the Lot, May 7, 2000
This review is from: Star Trek - Voyager, Episode 8: Ex Post Facto [VHS] (VHS Tape)
To me, this episode is the best of all the Voyager episodes either before or after. The reason being the interesting method of punishing murder and the Holmesian manner of Tuvok's investigation. Tuvok has never been as good as in this episode and the intriguing cultural differences have never been as imaginative.

Trek noir, February 18, 2001
This review is from: Star Trek - Voyager, Episode 8: Ex Post Facto [VHS] (VHS Tape)
As with the DS9 episode "Necessary Evil," there's a good film noir feel to this story. While Tuvok doesn't really come off as a good PI figure like Odo did, there still exists the old noir trademarks like the dispassionate, chain-smoking mystery woman, marital infidelity, and a whole slew of differing flashbacks on what really happened. There's also a good space battle sequence to keep it from getting too mired in the noir genre.

Best Of A Great Bunch!, April 18, 2004
This review is from: Star Trek - Voyager, Episode 8: Ex Post Facto [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Although I will recommend the new Voyager Complete First Season DVD THIS is a season highlite.It presents the show in it's more cryptic pre-Seven Of Nine years in a wonderful tale about an alien race who punish convited criminals by forcing them to relive the final moments of their victems life's.Effective alternative to capital punishment?NO-as you'll see here it takes a Vulcan mind meld to curb the damage done to Tom Paris after he's framed for murder.Excellent use of dream sequences and flashbacks-reminds me of something Orson Welle's might've done has he been a modern science fiction television writer.
