Neelix’s Lungs

Story: Phage
Written By: Skye Dent and Brannon Braga
Series: Star Trek: Voyager
Year: 1995

On some away mission Neelix shouldn’t have been on but so what Janeway is a bad captain…he gets his lungs STOLEN. What a dumb premise for an episode. So there’s bitter Neelix with holographic lungs pissed at Kes because of Paris, and then there is Janeway trying to find his lungs. That’s the episode.
How did this show last for 7 years?

On the upside, the performance from Picardo as the Doctor is fantastic, he definitely the strongest link in this chain of bad actors and characters.
