YMMV / Star Trek Voyager S 1 E 15 "Learning Curve"

Go To

  • Funny Moments: The Doctor suggests that they increase the ship's temperature to simulate a fever. A few minutes later, he is happily announcing that the infection has been destroyed while Kes is standing right next to him sweating profusely.
  • Narm Charm: B'Elanna gives the order "get the cheese to Sickbay" with a perfectly straight face. (Bless you, Roxann Dawson.)
  • Never Live It Down: You probably heard about the time Neelix nearly destroyed the ship trying to ferment cheese. This is that episode. His recipes were already questionable, but here he takes it to the next level by inadvertently causing a shipwide systems failure. Needless to say, it would be a long voyage.
  • Values Dissonance: We see again that Starfleet prohibits religious articles like Gerron's earring as part of its dress code. In the 1990s, this was pretty par for the course, but contemporary military forces have started amending their uniform codes to allow the wearing of religious garb such as turbans, making this an instance where contemporary society has outpaced Star Trek. Further, more modern Trek productions, even those set in prior eras, show humans wearing religious/cultural garments such as headscarves.
