Voyager meets a Starfleet Spaceship - Equinox.
The crew holds a secret.
## Impressions {#impressions}
Not a fan of cliffhangers.
Especially of those with multi-month wait time in between.
I mean, it's 2024, and it's all in the past, but this strategy still make me uneasy.
Lack of closure is my biggest gripe with modern TV.
All they want is to keep me invested and waste hours of my life.
It used to be different - you get a closed episode, and you can get back to your life.
Not anymore, we lost it.
Well, we used to have it but even back then we caught the bait.
As for the episode, I disliked it.
It starts great.
Crew of Voyager jumped to help the Equinox and the crews were working together.
This is what I want from _Star Trek_ - a fantasy where men is good.
Soon after we learn that the Equinox is powered by carcasses of peaceful species.
If I wanted this, I'd watch _The Expanse_.
Or the Parliament!
I know current Trek is dark, and the federation is rotten to it's core.
I get that earth was not perfect in _DS9_.
But we are in a far away land.
Everything we've witnessed before was Voyager trying to be the good guys in the Delta Quadrant.
Why the hell do we need to have **this** twist?
I'm making a hiatus in Trek, and I'll have to return to _those assholes_ from Equinox.
They will most likely need to attack Voyager or something.
They need to be _the assholes_, because we are not allowed to have nice things.
I hope I am wrong.
The Trek is about what mankind _can_ be, not what it is.
## Doctor Factor {#doctor-factor}
Meh.

Looks like Alien, plays like Man Behind The Sun.
