Who here has seen the " 2 part Equinox" episode? What do you think about how the captain of the Equinox broke the prime directive when he and his crew murdered those creatures to enhance their warp drive to get home faster? This greatly upset cap. Janeway!!

I liked this episode. The Equinox was a shorter range and smaller vessel than voyager who had also been pulled to the delta quadrant by the caretaker. They were in bad shape when they meet up with voyager. Only a fraction of their crew had survived the past few years.

i was surprised a small ship like that with such a small crew could survive so long in the delta quadrant. Sometimes when you are 60,000 light years away from home you have to do things you will regret to stay alive, even if it is killing innocent creatures. Who knows what he could have encountered further on his trip? logically he did the right thing. Humanly, it was 100% wrong.

I agree with you on this. People in desparate situations will do things that they normally would not do.

This two parter was really neat. Janeway was really really mad. I would be mad too if I found out what she did,but I would not go so far as to let those creatures kill everyone on the Equinox. I think I would have done what Chakotay suggested. It was funny how his other proposal came in writing. Janeway's death glare is very scary. I think the Captain of the Equinox was wrong to do what he did. I don't agree with any of his choices except the one at the end...giving himself up,and blowing up the ship. When he surrendered Janeway did calm down and was willing to help,but it was a little too late.

The actor who played the captain was the guy from hair, right ? 1979 John Savage - good actor

I agree that the actions of the "Equinoxes" crew were very immoral at the very least. The survivors of the "Equinox" were all busted down to the lowest rank of crewman for their actions. I think there were 5 or 6. I'm not sure.

I think there were 5 or 6. When I watch it again I'll take a head count. We do get to see one of them again in the episode "The Good Shepard". Although he is playing a different character (I think.) It's when Janeway goes to Deck 15,and gets lost looking for one of her crew members.

I remember this episode. Janeway was trying to get the crews misfits involved more and to help them.

The "Equinox" is a nice looking ship ,but a bit under powered.

The "Equinox was brought to the delta quadrant the same way as Voyager by "The caretaker". The reason I said the equinox was underpowered was because its top speed was less than warp 8.
