History Recap / StarTrekVoyagerS6E21LiveFastAndProsper

* TheGuardsMustBeCrazy: Subverted; Neelix enters the cell and sits down next to the prisoner, his phaser in easy reach. But adept viewers would realize this is a set-up, as post-CharacterDevelopment Neelix is a pacifist, who's never armed unless he can badger someone into letting him on an away mission.

-->'''Dala:''' I make a better you than you.

-->'''Tuvok''': "Barely habitable. Inmates often die of malnutrition before they are brought to trial. Torture is commonplace, as is disease, including several incurable forms of psoriasis."

-->'''Neelix''': ''Orphans!'' It's the oldest gambit in the book!

* ShellGame: Neelix and Tom Paris try pulling this off on the Doctor twice. The first time they fail, due to the Doctor's optical subroutines, but the second time they succeed.

* PracticalJoke: Tom Paris and Harry Kim modify the priest character of Tuvok's holodeck program so that he is wearing pajamas. Tuvok is clearly not amused.

* BecomingTheMask: Mobar just can't stop playing Tuvok, even when there's nobody around to scam. [[http://reviewboy.com/livefast.html As Jim "Reviewboy" Wright puts it]], "he's so into the role that he might be considering a legal change of name."
** He is basically a method actor who refuses to break character. Considering how his teammates treat his antics, it would seem that he has done this in the past with other impersonations.

* FatAndSkinny: "Tuvok" (Mobar) and "Janeway" (Dala).

* DoingItForTheArt: A possible InUniverse example. Mobar, unlike his companions Dala and Orek, is more interesting in learning about his character and culture. It seems like he is working for Dala more for the ability to impersonate people than the direct monetary reward.
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Dala can't understand things like telling the truth and not exploiting others. She apparently got it from her father.

* FatAndSkinny: The two aliens in the teaser.

* TheGuardsMustBeCrazy: Subverted; Neelix enters the cell and sits down next to the prisoner, his phaser in easy reach. But adept viewers would realize this is a set-up, as Neelix is never armed unless he can badger someone into letting him on an away mission.

** Tuvok and Mobar as well. Both are more serious and formal than some of their other teammates. They also both have to deal with teasing from their more un-serious colleagues. Kim and Paris keep messing with Tuvok's holodeck programs which is reminiscent to how Mobar is treated by Dala and Orek for him being more into his impersonation. This is possibly why Mobar takes such a liking to impersonating Tuvok.

'''Tuvok:''' [[Awesome/StarTrekVoyager Your logic... is flawed.]] ''(shines a light in Mobar's eyes and stuns him)''

* TooDumbToLive: Tom and Neelix. Orek says he finds it difficult to believe that they'd be stupid enough to be deceived by a classic ScamReligion.

-->'''Neelix''': ''Orphans!'' It's the oldest gambit in the book!

* BecomingTheMask: Mobar just can't stop playing Tuvok, even when there's nobody around to scam. As Jim "Reviewboy" Wright puts it, "he's so into the role that he might be considering a legal change of name."

-->'''Neelix''': ''Orphans!'' The oldest trick in the book!

** Tom even lampshades it, saying he would have expected ''[[ButtMonkey Harry]]'' to fall for the scam.

* CombatPragmatist: As noted above, Tuvok shines a flashlight into MObar's eyes to blind him when they face off.

** Tom even lampshades it, saying he would have expected ''Harry'' to fall for the scam.

* ScamReligion: Dala and Mobar first appeared as members of a religious sect so that they could use a scanner during the "blessing" to copy and download information from ''Voyager'''s shuttle.

* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: Tuvok's description of the barbaric conditions of Telsian prisons.

-->'''Tuvok''': "The Telsian criminal justice system is rather barbaric...Barely habitable. Inmates often die of malnutrition before they are brought to trial. Torture is commonplace, as is disease, including several incurable forms of psoriasis."
