RBVOY 062 – Favorite Son (S3E20)

Rebinging Star Trek Voyager: Favorite Son

Hello Star Trek fans! Welcome to Rebinge Star Trek Voyager S3E20: Favorite Son. In this episode, Star Trek reminds us it can sometime just be ridiculous. Harry suddenly gets spots on his face along with some new ideas in his head and we learn he's not human! He's an alien. And I can't explain it, but this somehow leads us to a kind of 60s stoner party where women are tricking the men into sacrificing themselves to have a baby. Like what?

Favorite Son

Harry has a sudden surge of insubordination on the bridge when he fires on an approaching ship without permission. Janeway's not just mad, she's disappointed, but Harry claims he just knew that ship was preparing to fire (contrary to evidence). Eventually Harry is proven right and seems to be having some other intuitive thoughts leading him to the planet of Taresia. Once we arrive at Taresia, the natives convince Harry that he is really one of them and not human after all. From here, everything just goes downhill in this episode.

What's this rebinge thing?

It’s a re-watch of a thing you’ve probably already seen but love to watch and talk about. We go deep with every episode, walking you through every scene and analyzing all of the characters and story lines. In each episode we discuss "Women in the Future" and "Janeway's Leadership Corner" while over-analyzing everything.

Be sure to listen to our previous episode S3E19: Rise where the doctor (and the actor) made some bad choices.
