A weird nebula again? Star Trek make a season of any show without a weird nebula, mission impossible.

Oh yayy Janeway holonovel adventures <3

It's interesting that she chooses the role of a servant when she could be literally anything. That's one way to take a break from captaining, taking orders from someone else. Like those CEOs who go see a dominatrix after work.

Lump? Do they really say lump of sugar in english? Or just in old timey british english... Lump is such a weird word. Like funny weird.

Chakotay is brain dead? Oh well, if the Doctor says there's nothing he can do... rip ✌️😔

Voyager changes course and the command came from the conn station... and ofc Tom is immediately like IT WASN'T ME I PROMMY!! Anyways, what I wanted to say is that helm control was transferred to Harrys station so technically Harry got to fly the ship for a while? Nice. We don't need Tom.

I love the fun "futuristic" shiny medbay clothes Chakotay is wearing. Or is it just a blanket? Let's focus on that instead of the medicine wheel...

Kes mind powers Go!!

Oh well we tried to fly into the nebula twice and it didn't work, I guess we must give up... goodbye Chakotay!

Someone is framing Tom!! Or it's actually him. Arrest him!!

Ooh they're being mind controlled...

"It could be in any one of us..." Waow, the only way to find out is to do the blood test from The Thing right now immediately. Everyone line up!

Babies first time in command! Baby being the Doctor ofc.

Aaand Tuvok needs to mindmeld ofc. Literally anything happens and he's like Ouuh... You know what would be the logical thing to do right now? A mindmeld...

NOOO THEY TOOK OUT KES!! but Tuvok is fine again... like last time... suspicious? or Vulcan mind advantage?

Harry just spaced out leave him alone he's been through enough!!

Tuvok coming in to "fix" something... Kes has injuries that aren't like Tuvoks at all and again she was found with Tuvok... Hmmmm Vulcan nerve pinch perhaps??

Paranoia all around!! It's you!! It's me!! It's all of us!! And then it really was...

Aand Harry gets his nose broken. Of course. Can't let him chill for one episode. He needs to be there on the bridge to get possessed, hit in the face, and then stunned by a possessed Tuvok. Give him a break!!

Is the nebula a being again... Or do beings just live in there?

We have a name! The Komar! Now what do they want...

Chakotay is helping yay yippi!!! 🥳

Ah they want the neural energy. To eat? Sure. Sounds yummy.

Why could we see the being leave Tuvok when it was completely invisible before... 🤔

She knows exactly which visual relay in sickbay will show her the wall the wheel is on? She really does know that ship better than anyone else, she didn't even have to think for 1 second. There's at least 16!!

What have they learned that lets the Doctor revive Chakotay suddenly?? Just the knowledge that the aliens were possessing people? Ok random techno babble apparently 👍 don't worry about it

btw Memory Alpha says that in german the episode isn't called Bewusstseinsverlust, but Bewußtseinsverlust, which would be the spelling from before 1996. However the episode came out in 1996 in germany, but in 1995 in the US, so it's unclear what the intended spelling actually was, as the title is always spelled in uppercase on screen, and the uppercase ß was only implemented in 2017, so instead it would have been spelled as ss!

At least I'm saying it's unclear what the intended spelling was, maybe whoever put it on Memory Alpha actually has proof that it was spelled with an ß. I just thought it was interesting!

ah ok yes apparently on the vhs it was spelled with an ß. Either they just didn't care or know about the new spelling, or made all of it in 1995 already when the episodes came out in english and didn't feel like / remember to change it later.
