Bride of Chaotica is my all time favorite Voyager episode. The cast all seem to be having so much fun with it, especially Rayner/Chaotica himself. The scene where Lunzak shoots Janeway and it just bounces off (cuz holodeck safeties) and she ad libs “ha, you’re no match for Arachnia!” is just so perfect. Satan’s Robot is hilarious. And I love how they merge the Chaotica-style music and Star Trek theme for the end-of-episode musical sting.

He will portray Neevok, half man, half dog, half orchid.

Thomas is the one in a Cardassian prison. I wonder how he’s doing.

He was already famous for inventing duotronics, and the M-5 debacle was probably classified or otherwise not common knowledge.

A flea and a fly in a flue

Were trapped, so what could they do?

Said the fly, “let us flee!”

“Let us fly!” said the flea

So they fled through a flaw in the flue.
