Customer Reviews of Star Trek - Voyager, Episode 36: Lifesigns
Why can't the doctor be an EMH in love? In "Star Trek: Voyager," Episode 36, "Lifesigns" (Written by Kenneth Biller, Aired February 26, 1996), we discover the EMH has taken another significant step along the road to personhood. "Voyager" rescues a Vidiian female who dying from the Phage, the horrible Delta Quadrant disease that is killing off her people. The Doctor (Robert Picardo) puts the dying woman in statis and not only transfers her synaptic patterns into the holobuffer but creates a holographic body of what she would look like without the disease. The Viddian is Dr. Denara Pel (Susan Diol), a hematologist, and while the Doctor's solution is only temporary, he has hopes of being able to save her life.
Since Klingon DNA is resistant to the Phage, the Doctor is able to persuade Torres (Roxann Biggs-Dawson) to donate brain tissue that is then grafted onto Pel's brain. While waiting to see if the graft works and retards the Phage, the two physicians send time together and the Doctor is surprised to learn that he has feelings for Pel. Of course, his programming gives him no clue as to what he should do next. Fortunately Kes (Jennifer Lein) is around to give encouragement and Tom Paris (Robert Duncan McNeill) is available for dating advice. However, the two doctors are clearly a star-crossed pair.
Until Seven of Nine joined the cast of "Voyager" it was the Doctor that was the most intriguing character, not to mention the one that underwent the most change over the course of the series. There is something compelling, or perhaps reassuring, about what is basically a computer program that exhibits anxiety and is plagued by doubt. The Doctor's unrequited love for Seven of Nine down the road offered as much pathos as any "Voyager" subplot (although the echoes of Odo and Kira on "Deep Space 9" were rather obvious), and this episode constitutes the first major step in that direction with Picardo's performance driving home the emotional impact. Bonus points for "Lifesigns" having a one word that title that applies to both of the main characters.
The Doctor turns out to be a nice guy!
I really enjoyed this episode of Voyager and feel that it represents a real turning point in the character development of The Doctor. In this episode, The Doctor first saves the life of, then falls in love with a Vidiian woman who is seriously afflicted with the Phage.
What I really enjoy about the episode is the "new ground" that the character of The Doctor is breaking with his exploration of human love and desire. This is a significant step forward in the overall character development of The Doctor, and Robert Picardo does some excellent acting in this episode as well. I give it 4 stars.
Lifesigns displayed
Another terrific episode of the voyager series. This episode deals with a Vidiian female who is found and seriously injured from the phage, their species AIDS virus. In order to treat her the docter creates a holographic body for her consciousness to reside in while he treats her body's injuries. As the episode progresses the she and the doctor begin to form an interesting relationship.
