1.14 jetrel

Voyager is visited by the scientist who invented the weapon of mass destruction that leveled Neelix’ home world – and killed his sister. Neelix hates him, but Jetrel is here to examine Neelix for a disease survivors of the blast contracted. Sure enough, Neelix has the disease, but Jetrel has his own agenda, which involves a plan to free himself of the curse of his invention by retrieving the people lost in the blast – their biomolecular info may still be floating around in a cloud that still exists around the planet. Farfetched maybe, and that image of the lost soul almost being reformed is spooky, but there’s something way too neat about this episode – it tries to do way too much in 42 minutes. Only recommended if you like half-men / half hyenas.
