VOY: Resistance

         This is a really odd episode for one big reason, the central story is being driven by a crazy guy who has decided Janeway is his daughter who was actually killed years earlier. in some ways in worked from the perspective of him being a broken man, but it also seemed like a very convenient way to get someone on the planet to be willing to help the captain without her having to prove her trustworthiness or anything like that. It is also totally unclear how they got to this planet in the first place. Voyager is in terrible shape and as soon as they come out from behind the moon they are detected. 
         We open on the surface of an unknown planet with the crew undercover trying to get a vial of yellow stuff. Guards show up and only Neelix is able to escape. Torres and Tuvok are captured and the captain is shot, but rescued by some guy. Back on the ship things are looking bad, the yellow stuff is needed to get the engines running properly but Neelix's return helps that greatly. They bring the ship out of hiding and are contacted by the local government. It seems their presence isn't wanted here, but they are given time to negotiate. The locals are extra pissed when they find out that they have already sent a team down who have been taken into custody by the locals. On the planet Torres and Tuvok are being held in a cell and take turns being taken out for interrogation.
         Janeway meanwhile has been taken in by a local man who believes his wife is being held in jail and that she is his daughter. He helps her recover and then with a plan to break into the jail. They contact a local resistance and manage to get a plan going to break her into the jail while turning off the forcefield around the place. As they break in the locals decide they are sick of Voyager orbiting and open fire. They manage to hide behind a storm, but it won't save them for long. Janeway succeeds at breaking into the jail and rescuing Torres and Tuvok, but insists in looking for the man who helped her's wife. They run into the head of the prison who tells them the woman and her daughter have both been dead for years. The guy who helped her shows up and stabs the warden to death and the rest of them escape.

         Review: This episode had a decent core, but felt like it was about 30 minutes long and they just figured out some stuff to stretch it into a full length ep. Not bad, but kinda disappointing.
