Tom Paris is accused of murder.
This is reasonably good episode but particularly enjoyable for Tuvok fans.
The plot is similar to The Next Generation episode 'A Matter Of Perspective', (which was okay), but with Tom Paris in the dock and Tuvok leading the investigations.
I think it is a strong outing for Tuvok and not before time, but it did not really grip me. Certain murder mystery shows that consist of characters discussing what happened and explaining the solution is not particularly cinematic. However, it is good to see this Vulcan character put his logic to good use.
As all good Star Trek episodes go, it uses intelligence to resolve problems, but there is no real intrigue in a plot you know is going to turn out fine for a main character.
Tim Russ gives a strong performance. Robert Duncan-McNeil isn't bad, like so many of the characters that Star Trek try to tell us are roguish ladykillers, but Tom Paris does not convince.
