+*** TODO Star Trek: Voyager 06x03 Barge of the Dead
+B'Elanna starts having visions where she is on the Barge of the Dead, where dishonored Klingon souls are placed
+
+**** Impressions
+
+I am rarely fond of B'Elanna's plots, but this is one to be better ones.
+We often see her struggle with her Klingon heritage, but rarely we see her so vulnerable.
+It's not /her/ who is punished, but her mother.
+A much bigger deal if you ask me.
+
+Though he vision, we see twisted versions of the crew.
+Everyone is becoming her demon, making her feel alienated and vulnerable.
+Seeing a Klingon in this position?
+Amazing.
+
+Sadly, this episode is /yet another/ one were authors are playing with viewer but it's pointless.
+Maybe she is dead?
+Maybe the entire Voyager was just a dream?
+Well, this is episode 223 of /ST:V/ so of course it's not.
+Such plot device make for an interesting story when you look at it though the lens of single episode, it doesn't work in the context of the entire series.
+Finding B'Elanna confused was great, but this puts me in the viewer's position.
+I am not taking any part in the story, as I already know it.
+
+/Barge of the Dead/ marks the moment when Ronald Moore and Bryan Fuller gave up.
+The story was originally pitched as an episode of /Deep Space 9/ (funny to remember that those shows overlapped), but it was rejected.
+As we see, it became part of /Voyage/ but the duo felt that it's time to move on.
+Voyager was not what they wanted - they had little creative control, and wanted more multi-episodes stories.
+Looking at their careers, they sure /made it/.
+Moore created the great remake of /Battlestar Galactica/ and Fuller even returned to modern Star Trek.
+
+
+**** Doctor Factor
+
+Unsatisfactory.
