Parturition (VOY) - The Secrets of Star Trek

Tom Paris and Neelix crash on Planet Hell and are forced to care for a newly-hatched alien creature — and finally put their rivalry over Kes to rest. Dom Bettinelli, Jimmy Akin, and Fr. Jason Tyler break down the Voyager episode Parturition. Stranded together, Paris and Neelix must cooperate to care for a newly-hatched creature. The panel examines Neelix's controlling jealousy, Janeway's command style, plot logic holes, and the writers' deliberate choice to finally resolve the Paris-Neelix tension.
