I'm currently rewatching Voyager and have arrived at this disaster of an episode.
What is it with the Trek production team that they consistently depict Ireland as a place of Whimsy, mysticism and Diddly-aye music?
Within 2 minutes we're introduced to a local who goes off on some Oirish tale complete with winks and begorrahs about being in trouble with the wife.
Later, Harry Kim is warned to "stay away from Maggie O'Halloran" as they head to the pub at 9am.
Turns out Janeway has needs, and a nebula or something is threatening the ship.
Please. Stop.
I mean, Voyager isn't great - probably the weakest of the 3 late 90s series - but this isn't just scraping the barrell, more punching a hole in the bottom and digging deeper.
