 [fn:usmovies] I've been raised in the 90s, so I was subjected to USA's cultural propaganda and I still love it.
 Movies were simply better back then.

+Seven is recruited by Captain Braxton for a time-traveling mission to save the Voyager
+
+**** Impressions
+
+/Star Trek/ is an amazing space for "standard" stories with a twist.
+Here we've got a detective story, but with time travel.
+It's close to the greatness of /Time Crimes/ or /Predestination/, which is a huge thumb up from me.
+
+What those two have in common?
+They are totally unpredictable, but they do so without being insulting.
+Very often twists are done on the expense of the viewer, as important parts of the stories are hidden and explained afterwards.
+
+Here, we're learning everything together with Seven and the others.
+I love that!
+And it was hell of a ride - on a few occasions I could not predict where the story will go next.
+
+But the biggest shock for me was something I most likely missed a few times before: Jenway was a science officer.
+I hated how she instructed her own science officers, but now it makes sense.
+She already may be my favorite captain, and this may just cement it.
+
+One thing I did not like was the self-referencing to multiple time-travel problems with Voyager.
+If authors found it funny, it should not happen.
+Such self-awareness has no place in a decent SF.
+Marvel may have become a self-parody, but /Trek/ is on a completely different level.
+Here it was a little wink, not a full-blown movie (like the third /Thor/) so I'll allow it.
+But I have to say that I am not a fan.
+
+Also - look!
+They can make darker ship that is not /black/, like they are in the new ST!
+
+**** Doctors factor
+
+Nope, I left unsatisfied.

+Voyager meets a sentient bomb a tries not to destroy an alien planet in the process.
+
+**** Impressions
+
+Captain Kim?
+I love how he is progressing.
+No major problems nor scandals.
+He simply does his job, learns and gets better.
+Jenway sees it and gives me more and more.
+This is how it should be!
+
+But the episode is basically a retelling of /Dark Star/.
+Both, that movie and this episode, show us a sentient weapon where a crew of spaceship needs to reason with it.
+It's not a bad thing, as both /Dark Star/ and /Warhead/ have great and distinct stories[fn:ds].
+
+The twist here is that the Warhead gets possession of Doctor's holoprojection.
+What a great idea!
+It gives Picardo yet another chance to shine, and he nails it.
+
+I think authors were very inspired by early SF stories, as the way the Doctor-Warhead talks is reminiscent of Asimov or Clarke.
+He tries to convince himself that the attack is justified, even when facing evidence.
+He fights with his programming, testing his free will limits.
+Very 1950s I might say.
+
+It also asks similar questions: who we are? Why are we here? Can we change it?
+
+Great episode.
+I'd love more of such brilliant little stories.

+
+**** Picardo factor
+
+Yes!
+I love him as an actor, and he is absolutely marvelous as /The Warhead/.
+
+[fn:ds] Yes, the red-ball fight on /Dark Star/ was terrible.
+I try to pretend that it did not happen, thank you very much.
