Original airdate: 9/4/95. Stardate: 49005.3. Chakotay secludes himself on a shuttlecraft to perform a memorial ritual for his father, but the shuttlecraft is attacked by a Kazon warship, which Chakotay destroys while beaming its pilot safely aboard the shuttle. The Kazon aggressor is the adolescent Kar (Aron Eisenberg, who played Nog on Deep Space Nine), who had been attempting to earn his warrior name by retaliating against Chakotay's accidental trespass into Kazon-Ogla space. Now in Chakotay's custody, the Kazon boy is humiliated, and faces a ritual execution by his elders when he and Chakotay are taken hostage. They manage to escape to a nearby moon used as a Kazon-Ogla training base. As Kazon leaders confront Voyager's crew, Chakotay and Kar devise a scenario that will restore the boy's tarnished reputation. All in all, a tautly strategic episode with Kazon parallels to Klingon culture, allowing, however briefly, for a meeting of minds and the exchange of honorable trust between alleged enemies. There's adequate suspense, and the story allows the Kazon to become a more fully developed addition to Star Trek's gallery of villains. We will, of course, be seeing more of the Kazon in subsequent episodes. --Jeff Shannon
