Enjoyable Seska episode

Seska and the Kazon attack Voyager.

This is a solid episode with some good action-adventure moments and strong performances.

The story has some good material for Chakotay, which is much needed. Robert Beltran is very good in the scenes that call for more range than the actor usually needs to show. There is a well made torture scene that is quite memorable, plus a number of great exchanges between Chakotay and characters like Janeway, Torres and Seska.

Seska is a good baddie and the character's presence lifts the episode above what would be a relatively bog-standard encounter with a hostile alien species. Martha Hackett is excellent and so is Anthony de Longis as Cullah.

Katie Mulgrew has plenty of good opportunities to shine and takes them with another strong performance. Roxanne Dawson is also very good.

I struggled with the ending as it involves a bit of the old deus ex machina technobabble and there needed to be way more consequence to the actions of a certain character, such as a temporary demotion.

For me it's a 7.5/10 but I round upwards.
