+## The plot {#the-plot}
+
+Voyager encounters wormhole leading directly to Earth.
+Too beautiful to be true?
+We learn that it's actually an alien creature that has the ability to project dreams and hopes to people minds, in order to trap them.
+Only Seven and Naomi are immune to this, and Voyager enters the wormhole - which in reality is the creature's body.
+Inside, we meet Quatai, an alien who has been trapped there for quite some time.
+
+
+## Impressions {#impressions}
+
+Sometimes POSTE[^fn:1] is all you need.
+Nothing out of the ordinary - just a problem in outer space.
+This is very much ok.
+The basic premise - great; crew on happy pills - perfect; Seven out to get to the bottom of it - ideal; Naomi - still cool.

+The creature in all of its glory
+{{< /img-c >}}
+
+The most memorable part of this episode was the reaction of Quatai upon meeting Voyager.
+After countless lies and deceptions by the creature, he can no longer accept that a good thing can happen.
+He assumes that it's just another ploy to mess with his mind.
+When we are in a dump, it's very hard to trust in positives.
+
+This episode also deepens the relation of Seven and Naomi.
+They are the only ones on the Voyager _not_ waiting to return to Earth, as Voyager is their true home.
+Fascinating.
+
+A good episode.
+
+
+## Doctor Factor {#doctor-factor}
+
+Reduced to plot machine. Unacceptable!
