5.0 out of 5 stars Great Voyager Episode!, May 1, 2000

By	"verysweet" (Santa Cruz, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This is one of Voyager's steamiest episodes with lots of innuendo and adult situations. Not to worry, it's not dirty, but it gives us a wonderful insight into B'Elanna's Klingon half and the struggle she goes through to keep it under control as well as a new perspective on her relationship with Tom Paris. My favorite episode ever!

5.0 out of 5 stars My Favorite Episode, September 16, 2002

By	Katherine McGonigle (Winston-Salem, NC USA) - See all my reviews

I am a true Voyager Trekkie, and a big fan of the Tom/B'Elanna storyline. If you are wondering how the whole intrest got started, this episode is for you! I highly recommend it--wonderfully written, beautifully directed, and the acting is above par. I'm ordering you to buy it!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Power of Sexuality, January 18, 2002

By A Customer

This episode tackles the complex web of issues regarding the power, seduction, and responsibility underlying sexual attraction. Afflicted by the Vulcan Pon Farr, B'Elanna dramatically embodies the deep and sometimes unconscious human struggle between normal consciousness and the hormone-aroused, instictually-driven self. In contrast, Tom Paris, who has not been afflicted as such, embodies moral clarity and maturity regarding his pre-existing attraction to B'Elanna, which includes his selflessness both in withholding and offering sexual contact. This is by far the most positive and exemplary depiction of sexual ethics I have yet seen. The characters and story are attractive and though within the genre of science fiction, the essence is certainly true to life. Engaging and uplifting, this episode makes a great departure point for sparking self-inquiry or a discussion between interested teens and parents on the topic of responsible, caring, self-aware sexual decison-making and behavior. It is also the beginning of the Tom and B'Elanna story arc in the series.
