Tom's not even mad! Dogs in the Delta Quadrant!

Tom Paris you are definitely getting your picture on the 'forgive and forget' hall of champions statue. If I was framed for a murder and had to relieve that experience every 14 hours I can say with certainty that my wrath would be unquenchable.

I find myself pondering the idea of this form of capital punishment. This is deemed to be more compassionate than lethal injection? Having to relive a nightmare murder (with the pain included) every 14 hours seems like a torturous punishment to me.

The idea of implanting secret messages in Tom's brain is almost Cardassian in its presentation. It's not cool to do this. I mean the wife could have just decided to get a divorce?

The main takeaway of this episode for me was that Tuvok is extremely efficient and perceptive. I enjoy Columbo and I always get a kick out of watching Odo use his skills in DS9 so the same applies with Tuvok detective plot lines.

The overall point of the story is that you should not make out with the wife of the person you are conducting business with. Really --- This is sound advice for any time period.
