Whether hormonal or experimental, our favorite crew had its share of hot flashes and then some. Tell us about your favorite moment of mutation.

I had to go for Tuvix.
It was a unique twist, combining two so divergent personalities and then presenting us with the ethical dilemma of getting them back ready for the next episode.
You just had to feel for Tuvix all the way to the end.

With only a moment to reply, I'll just say that Tuvix is my favorite episode of Voyager on most days of the year. I've never been more shocked, horrified, enthralled, or absorbed in a television program.

I'm going to go with Scientific Method. The scenes of the crew as observed by the aliens were effective, and Seven's POV of the crew with contraptions were simply chilling.
The cleverness of the Doctor hiding on the holodeck among the characters, and the first collaboration between Doc & Seven make this a truly worthwhile episode, even with a silly line from Janeway ("These lab rats are fighting back!").
Tuvix actually annoyed me. The controversy at the end was interesting, but without basis considering the combined integrity which comprised the new persona.
Three acting showcases:
Faces had Dawson delving into the human and Klingon sides of B'Elanna as the character was genetically split into two distinct entities.
With Threshold, you know where I stand: it was great until the last ten minutes, with an excellent showcase for Robert Duncan McNeill's acting prowess.
Elogium was the first chance for Jennifer Lien to spread her acting wings beyond the subtle. Her scenes when Neelix discovers her eating disorder, then locks herself in the Doctor's office, then later when she's contemplating her decision, were great performances and truly the first hint that the scripts were holding Lien back.
I found Favorite Son lame, its sophistication reminiscent of 3rd season TOS, with its limited budget and brainpower.

Going with the flow here and saying 'Tuvix'. A thorny issue that had no clear right answer - if it in fact had one at all.
'Faces', worked very well as one of the early Dawson showcases and is one of the standouts of season one, to my mind.
'Threshold'. Bleh. Good acting from Robbie, pity about the plot. Or lack there of.
'Elogium'. See above.
'Favourite Son'. I've actually forgotten the plot of this one, so I doubt me that it could have been particularly impressive.

'Favourite Son'. I've actually forgotten the plot of this one, so I doubt me that it could have been particularly impressive. Harry appears to mutate and is drawn to a planet he's never been to before. The beauties running it tell him he is one of them but born on earth, and that he is following his instincts to come home to mate. |

Wasn't someone asking about Voyager's TOS acknowledgements a few threads back? To me, Favorite Son would have played better as a TOS episode than Voyager...put Kirk in Kim's shoes and you're all set! ;D

Sure, but Chekov wasn't a babe magnet like Harry was...  |

Sure, but Chekov wasn't a babe magnet like Harry was... Not due to some genetic mutation, anyway. |

Would Pavel have gotten turned on or off at the prospect of being blindfolded by three women?
Cos I can't imagine Tomcat going for such a passive role, can you?

I remember thinking of Kirk when I first saw Favourite Son... Although I would have expected James T to have bedded at least five of the girls by the end of the first act! It is the best example of TOS acknowledgement yet, though.
