3/10
Ex Post Facto
6 June 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Tom Paris has been arrested for murder and is sentenced to relive the crime from the point of view of the victim every 14 hours.

It is up to Tuvok to play detective and clear Paris. To do this he performs a mind meld with him.

The episode starts like a neo noir with a scantily dressed femme fatale, Lidele Ren who is married to the much older scientist Tolen Ren.

Voyager had contacted the Baneans as there technology could help out the crew with a damaged piece of equipment. While Harry Kim and Tolen Ren talked science, Paris went schmoozing with his wife.

The Baneans are at war with with another race, the Numiri. It is this Tuvok believes why Paris was framed for murder.

LeVar Burton directed this story and it has similarities to a ST:TNG story. Only this one is a bit rubbish. Maybe Paris and Kim should had told Tolen Ren to stick to his lab.

The dog at the end was just taking the biscuit.
