How the fuck is nobody guarding the gigantic space laser? Since when does Star Trek have gigantic "shoot the moon" space lasers? Why is Terra Prime's hotbed the fucking moon and not, you know, Earth? What's with all the clandestine shit? This isn't Star Trek. >(

It's not a bad message but damn the episode wants you to get it. Though treatment that makes the majority of your life not-shit AND protects you from phaser-shots seems like a pretty sweet deal to me.
I feel like there was this vague sense of this episode not quite having the balls to say what it wanted to say about refugees and promised lands and a group of persecuted people. So instead it just kinda wobbled around pointlessly and had them refuse a perfectly fine planet for no reason. As in they literally never outright said why they were so set on Bajor beyond vague "But we're farmers, that'll probably be helpful despite the Cardassians having salted the earth like the dicks they are!".
Much sad, very negotiator. You could hardly tell a difference between beep-boop Bareil and regular, snooz-tastic Bareil. Meanwhile, the Ferengi are garbage and so are the writers who came up with this shitty shitty B-plot.

No wonder the time-police eventually came after Janeway. Double-breaking the Prime Directive and the Time Directive. Two wrongs don't make a right Janeway!
Why can Kes donate one lung but they can't take one back from the Veridian dude? This made no fucking sense. Also, way to "name the plague after a real thing" and then pick something that specifically targets prokaryotes, ie bacterial cells. You suck so hard at Biology, Voyager writers.
