+Voyager assists Varro - an alien species who live in a huge spaceship for the last 400 years.
+Kim falls in love with one Varros females, Tal, who are (as we learn) have surprisingly different physiology compared to humans, making sex weird.
+
+Later we learn that some Varro don't want to live aboard the ship, but are forbidden from leaving.

+## Impressions {#impressions}
+
+A Kim episode, finally!
+He is one of the most underutilized characters in the entire series, so it's always nice when he is not only background for Paris.
+
+I loved the first part of the episode.
+It's infantile and funny.
+_STV_ lacks the humour of _TNG_.
+
+And then we got the Space STD which was extremely unexpected turn of events.
+Not the **smartest** part of the episode, but it was the funniest idea I've seen here in a long time.
+
+Unfortunately, the subplot 2 is underdeveloped.
+Some part of Varro want to leave the collective.
+We've got terrorists, resistance and all the jazz.
+Remember when part of the fleet of Battlestar Galactica decided to stop pursuing earth?
+Remember how much has happened as a result?
+Nothing of this magnitude happens here.
+I think this is the weakest aspect here - great idea, but a low effort execution.
+
+If those were two separate episodes - one completely of the wall, one serious and deep - I'd love it.
+Both stories deserve so much more.
+I left unsatisfied.

+## Doctor Factor {#doctor-factor}
+
+Present, but just as unsatisfying as the entire episode.
