Fantastic!, May 18, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Star Trek - Voyager, Episode 5: Phage [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This is a fantastic episode. The plot may seem rather funny at first, but is actually quite serious. While search for dilitheum, Neelix has a strange encounter with an alien who removes his lungs. In order to servive, the Doctor makes Neelix a pair of holographic lungs, but he must remain motionless or they won't work. The crew on Voyager goes searching for the aliens who did it and when they find them, the aliens admit to what they did and offer to do a lung transplant for Neelix. Who will donate a lung? This video shows emence bravery on the parts of Neelix and Kes and is definently worth buying.

Entertaining with Good Characterizations, April 27, 2000
This review is from: Star Trek - Voyager, Episode 5: Phage [VHS] (VHS Tape)
"Phage" does rely on one slight contrivance to get its plot going, but its a very nice show. The concept is mildy goofy, but the show executes it so well it almost plausible someone's organs can be snatched out from their body using some kind of magical beam. This was the premise behind "Spock's Brain" but DO NOT worry, "Phage" is much smarter than that brainless (pun-intended) travesty. The crew's search for Neelix's lungs is very quick and interesting. Meanwhile, the doctor has created Neelix a pair of holo-lungs. Once we find the thiefs, even they prove interesting. Not usual for Voyager's villians. The final scenes reveal some wonderful characterizations. "Phage" is classic episode of Voyager.

Is Neelix gonna die?, January 7, 2004
This review is from: Star Trek - Voyager, Episode 5: Phage [VHS] (VHS Tape)
With the annoyance that Neelix's character seemed to cause pretty much everyone else on the ship, I thought this is the episode that he would leave the show. An alien with a disease called the "Phage" steals Neelix's lungs and graphs them into this own body. After hunting down the lung theft, Janeway demands the organs back, only to find out he's already using them. Kes offers to give Neelix one of her lungs, the alien offers to perform the surgery using their advanced technology to modify organs from 2 unlike species. This was a good episode, but I feel that the plot was a little weak. Most episodes have a major story line and a couple of minor ones, as well as the other 'day to day' ongoing struggles. This one seemed the lack the minor conflicts.
