One of Star Trek: Voyager's First 'Villains' Still Stands Among Its Best
53% Informative
30 years ago today, we got one of the best episodes of Star Trek’s run when “Phage” introduced us to the Vidiians .
The episode is one of those early Voyager scenarios that speaks to the series’ incredible potential.
The Vidiian is a gruesomely tragic humanoids ravaged by a disease that has visibly scarred and ravaged their bodies.
“Phage” has to make its impact and then get out with very little really changed about the show, other than it acting as the turning point where the Doctor decides to take on Kes as medical support staff.
The strength of the idea, even knowing that it has to be resolved much sooner than it should, is still there.
The show can’t sustain the existential challenge of having a chronically ill character.
