Star Trek: Voyager: Waking Moments (1998)
Season 4, Episode 13
7/10
Potential classic but falls slightly short for me
24 April 2023
Voyager crew members encounter aliens who visit their dreams.

This a reasonably good episode with a decent concept regarding this particular race and the narrative unfolds in crafty way not unlike 'Nightmare on Elm Street' (minus the horror).

I like the humour, especially the scenes involving Tuvok and Harry's awkwardness around Seven following the events of his dream.

That being said I do not think the writers used the concept to its full potential. The aliens do not appear to be hugely threatening, Chakotay's native culture aspect feels a bit tiresome, and for me the ending is an anticlimax.

Most actors are on great form, with Robert Beltran and Tim Russ standing out for me.

It's a 6.5/10 for me but I round upwards.
