Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaCoda is a musical term used to denote a short extra passage added to the end of a musical composition, unrelated to the structure and themes of the main musical material. The title of this episode is used to describe the short limbo "afterlife" Janeway experiences, indicating that this "coda" may suspiciously not be related to her life at all.
- GoofsAfter her second "death" in sickbay, Janeway was able to make Kes sense her presence through physical contact; however, when Tuvok and Kes attempt to locate Janeway telepathically, she makes no attempt to touch either of them.
- Quotes
[last lines]
Captain Kathryn Janeway: Come on, Chakotay. I cheated death. That's worth a celebration, don't you think? Bottle of champagne, moonlight sail on Lake George. How does that sound?
Commander Chakotay: Like something worth living for.

Go back to Hell, coward!
I know this episode has flaws. Too many ideas that don't relate, but flaws aside I admit to utterly adoring this episode.
I don't understand how the 'time loop' plot device links at all to the 'death alien' element, but since it's all a series of hallucinations, I can forgive this. We didn't need Vidiians, either, but it made for some interesting scenes.
It's fun to see the poor captain 'euthanised' by the Doctor. Is it even 'euthanasia' if the patient is frantically trying to stop you? It's wonderful to see the broader acting range of the characters, though. How often do we get to see a murderous doctor and a frantic captain.
Janeway funeral is a little OTT, but again, it's awesome to see Kate Mulgrew at her best. She's emotional at seeing her own funeral, but not too emotional.
Janeway shows a new side to when faced with one of the most intimidating entities she's faced. We witness her standing, seemingly fearless against death itself and choosing her ship and her crew as subjects worth fighting for. Mulgrew (with that voice crafted on the stage) delivers some withering lines. Sometimes the writers don't do Janeway justice. Mulgrew makes up for it.
There are some genuinely touching moments. Janeway's real pride when her crew busy themselves in aid of her rescue. Her reaction to Tuvok"s expression of loss and a really sweet ending. Katherine seemingly reduced to childish glee at the thought of some real fun on the holodeck.
I know the whole episode Is a little messy in structure, but to take the individual scenes and appreciate them for what they are, there is plenty for the fan to enjoy. The scenes between Kathryn and her 'father' are sublime....an acting masterclass and endearing for poor Janeway, who, lets face it has been put through a lot by the writers.
