In theory I love this episode. The EMH is sent to the Alpha Quadrant to aid Lewis Zimmerman, plus we get a double whammy of fan service with Reg Barclay and Deanna Troi.
And yet, for some reason, the episode seems phony. It’s forced. It makes the Trek universe seem cheap. I can’t explain it, other than to say I wish I could somehow un-watch it.
What the hell are you talking about? This is my favorite Voyager episode!
