Featured review
The two-minute hate (Star Trek style)
Chakotay finds himself in the middle of a conflict.
This is a good episode with an important message.
The themes addressed by the writers about propaganda are very worthwhile and they take a commendable swipe at those who stir up hatred and conflict. It is also one of the strongest arcs for Chakotay.
As a screenplay there are some problems that reduce it's impact. I think certain twists are quite predictable and the alien dialect used to highlight Chakotay's decent into hatred (as good an idea as it probably sounded on paper) is quite distracting and I find some of it unintentionally humorous.
Performances are a mixed bag for me. Robert Beltran gives one of his best of the series, but I think some of the guest stars are a bit weak. Saying that the dialogue does not help as I find it difficult to take them seriously when they use various catchphrases.
Visually there are some very good intense action sequences. It is quite reminiscent of 'Predator' at times with its jungle warfare and alien masks.
