Alien organ traders. Admittedly, 'Vidians' need those organs because their own organs give up. In a universe, where you can beam things out of their place. Such as organs. Why don't that race target the nicest guy of Voyager's crew. It turns out they do. Everything about this idea is just brutal. But the episode is in fact watchable. And believe it or not, the organ traders end on a romantic note in a later episode. There is this one thing ST Voyager as a show never did: Have, or even meet "Crusaders." Crusaders were everywhere in the 1990s. Not just in Europe. Competitor show Babylon 5, that aired the same years, was packed with Crusader: By Crusaders, I mean people who seem to know exactly what they are doing. They claimed they assembled your computers, built whole famous websites, and were even good at sports. They were born in the late 70s, grew up in the yuppie 80s, and thought they had it all figured out by the 90s. Yup, as teenagers. They don't exist anymore, but were everywhere in the 90s. Watch Babylon 5 to see some real Crusaders, and learn to appreciate this beautiful show Star Trek: Voyager. Which couldn't spare us organ trade, but did avoid the brutal 90s Crusaders.
