Jack's Review
This is a good episode for Chakotay - but for some reason it feels like the rest of the crew was an afterthought for the writers. Good acting by Robert Beltran keeps this one afloat.
Episode:215

Tom Paris breaks the transwarp threshold in the Shuttlecraft Cochrane, designed to reach warp 10, but there are some peculiar side effects.

Jack's Review
This is one of the few I remember watching when it originally aired. I enjoy this one quite a bit actually. The acting by Robert Duncan McNeill is super and Robert Picardo also shines. I only rate it 3.5 simply because the story seems to be missing a couple of key points. Why is Paris's DNA doing what it does and why did it evolve him into a giant salamander? Very strange....

I really enjoyed this episode. The sexual tension between Janeway and Chakotay is unmistakeable here and overall I feel they way the episode concludes is very well done.

Jack's Review
I seem to recall seeing at least part of this episode. This is a very interesting one. Janeway seems to be a bit off form here and the mischievousness she shows is only slightly off-putting. I truly enjoyed the acting by Robert Picardo on this one - as well as the very Star Trek: Nemesis flavored ending.
Episode:312
Macrocosm
Jack's Rating:
Voyager answers help from a mining colony about a viral outbreak that manages to sneak onto Voyager through the transporter, leaving only Janeway and the doctor to stop it.

I really enjoyed this one too. I never thought of Janeway as an Ellen Ripley kind of character but she certainly is. Determined. Fearless. Tough as nails. The direction here is top notch and the atmosphere is downright creepy. My only complaint is the CGI effects look dated. I hope when they remaster these for Blu-Ray that they give these effects a bit of a boost.

Jack's Review
Perfect acting by Robert Picardo not withstanding, this is probably the weakest episode in the third season so far. It feels more like a holodeck simulation than a real story.
Episode:325
Worst Case Scenario
Jack's Rating:
B'Elanna Torres discovers a holodeck program where Chakotay and the Maquis rebel against Janeway.

Jack's Review
This one was a lot of fun. At first you think "what the heck is going on?" and then you can't help but laugh. Loved the sadistic doctor and how everyone had input for Tom and Tuvok. Very well done. It does seem to end very abruptly but overall a fun episode.

Chakotay helps fight in an alien war.

Jack's Review
Freaky episode - very freaky. The alien vernacular is very strange and the twisting plot makes it feel very foreign. Still, a fun episode....and Robert Beltran is excellent as always.
Episode:410

Torres is arrested while visiting a world of telepaths where violent thoughts are a crime.

Great Tuvok episode! The story was very unusual as well which makes for a dynamite combo when combined with Vulcan Logic and an illogical solution to a problem.

A real brain teaser episode! Love the creepy nature of the aliens at the beginning of the show and the paranoia they exhibit on the crew is well executed.
