PATRON TIER LIST - VOY S2E7 - Parturition

The scene I remember most from this episode was the Clarinet scene. Probably because it was quite early in the ep. The rest needs effort to recall, though Robert Picardo is always great.

Jealous Neelix is the worst ongoing storyline in all of television.

Actually really like this episode. Good continuity and progression for characters, with interesting dilemmas in the plot. Some funny scenes, easy light feel, full on Trek.

I have only watched this episode once when I was like 14. E tier. Then rewatched it again for the reaction and it’s not as bad as I remember. Maybe C. I like Neelix’s parenting responsibility instincts here.

Any episode that has me worried at the start and ends on the positive side deserves at least a B.

Neither reptile guy baby dada is a good choice. Choose you Kes.

I had a friend who'd been a lifelong Trek fan, as was his wife. It was that mutual interest that helped them to hit it off when they first met and carried over into their marriage and was passed on to their daughter. They both swore off this show after this episode.

D. Would have been a C if they had skipped the cliched spaghetti fight.

One of those episodes I saw once in the 90's and was convinced was a misremembered dream for many years until I started seeing clips of it on youtube.

Bickering Bros & Baby. Bit Boring.

Once again asking the Voyager writers to come up with better names

I like when an episode is able to handle a character flaw that I dislike, like jealously, and resolve it between the two characters that it applies to (three in this case), all the while making a fairly interesting episode to boot. And I like Neelix & Tom as a duo this time. I rate it higher than most, B+, maybe even a soft A.
