My Review
This episode opens with a very cool and innovative medical technique; the doctor transfers a woman's entire consciousness into a holographic body thanks to an odd device she was implanted with. It's also a great episode developing the Vidiians as a people and the effect of the Phage on them. We get to deeply explore the Phage's effect on a single person, and see what the Vidiians would look like without the Phage. In this respect, the episode is extremely intelligently constructed. Once again, the doctor gets a name. This time it's "Shmullus." One wonders why he never sticks with one. Jonas once again talks to the Kazon secretly. In this episode it's all too obvious that there's a connection between Paris' rebellious behavior and Jonas' traitorous behavior. The ending is tragic. The doctor fell in love with Denara, but sadly it was a love that could not be, for she was forced to leave. At the same time, the ending was touching, for the doctor really, truly lived for the first time. An exceptional episode.
