Parturition, VOY 2
You’d think any episode that involves Neelix and Tom Paris having a food fight would be a disaster – but, actually, it isn’t the end of the world.
This is hardly a great episode, but I didn’t want to claw my eyes out. Neelix confronts Tom about his mooning over Kes and, indeed, he admits that he has the hots for some of that two year old Ocampa action. But duty demands they go down to a planet and search for spinach and when they hatch a baby Delta Quadrant equivalent of a Gorn, a friendship emerges.
Summarized thusly, I’m surprised I didn’t claw out my eyes after all.
