"Course: Oblivion" is a neat episode but frankly I am pretty sure an awful lot of Trekkies will be depressed watching it. After all, you get to slowly see the crew sicken and die--one by one. Depressing-- you betcha....but also very unique and worth seeing.
When the show begins, Torres and Paris have just gotten married and life is just swell. However, soon after this B'Elanna gets sick, lingers just a bit and dies! In sickbay, however, they discover something REALLY shocking...B'Elanna has silver-colored blood! Soon they realize that she is NOT B'Elanna but a duplicate--and the same is true of everyone as well as the ship! Tuvok and Chakotay grasp for a solution and eventually put it all together---when the ship encountered the 'Demon Planet' in the previous season, it not only made copies of Kim and Paris but of EVERYTHING--and they are NOT the real Voyager!! And they all soon start to look like someone puked all over them (my daughter's words). Can they find a solution or are they all completely screwed?
As I said, this is super-creative. I love originality and you get lots of it here. But you also get possibly the most depressing episode of all--so depressing and ending so awfully that you might like and hate the episode at the same time.
