Voyager employees help from a suspicious group calling themselves a _Think Tank_.
Everything goes fine until the time of payment.
The _Tank_ expects part of payment to be Seven leaving Voyager and joining them.
## Impressions {#impressions}
First, and most important: Jason Alexander!
We've got a guest star, and it's one of my all-time favorites - Constanza from _Seinfeld_.
There are zero winks to _Seinfeld_ fans, just the same actor.
And it's strange seeing him as super-inteligent character with a normal-sized wallet.
Villain?
Sure.
But intelligent?
After few minutes Jason stops being Constanza, as he is doing a splendid job here.
Kurros is that's left.
As for the episode, I am once again floored by the quality of FX.
Alien makeup becomes absurdly great.
To bad, I was not invested deeply into the story.
As much as Sevens plot goes, we're not seeing anything _too_ interesting.
She has already established herself as vital part of Voyager crew, and as more human than Borg.
Not for a second the viewer believes that she will abandon the crew.
So, a solid episode in my book.
The _Think Tank_ is a great idea, Alexander is a great actor, the story is interesting.
All it needed was a more believable stake.
If the payment was to be Jenway doing some little genocide (Sisko style) - boom, I'd be on the edge on my seat.
The way it plays out is, basically, _about nothing_.
## Doctor factor {#doctor-factor}
I'm getting a bit annoyed that it's either a doctor-centeric episode, or his involvement is unsatisfactory.
This was not a doctor-centric episode.

Disregarding obvious joke (Da Ba Dee), this looks phenomenal
