Resolutions


Hotheaded Harry tries to start a mutiny on the bridge. Tuvok responds by relieving him of duty and threatening to throw him in the brig.

Just when it looks like Harry will refuse to back down, he looks over Tuvok's shoulder at Tom....

...and Tom reigns him in by saying "Harry," very softly, and shaking his head "no."
After Harry storms off the bridge, Tom turns back to his console, looking distressed.
When Tuvok enters the bridge, Tom and Harry are both away from their stations, standing together and talking.
The crew listens to Tuvok's announcement. Judging from Tom's expression, Harry's talked him into joining the mutiny.
Tuvok finally agrees to contact the Vidiians.

Harry lowers his face into his hands in relief. Tom's first reaction is to turn to Harry.


Tom and Harry react to their captain's return.


The Janeway and Chakotay scenes in this episode were dreadfully boring, not to mention lame beyond belief - but events aboard Voyager were explosive. The scene where Harry visits Tuvok in the middle of the night was especially striking. Wow!

We rarely see Harry Kim this worked up...but it's always fun when we do. I did not find his behavior in this episode out of character. Though he's normally calm, cautious, and analytical, he is still very young and inexperienced, and sometimes displays the impetuousness of youth. Yes, he's usually the type who follows the rules - but if there's something he cares enough about, he's hell on wheels.

And it's almost always loyalty to his friends that brings out this side of Harry. Here, it was Janeway. In "The Chute," it was Tom. In "The Killing Game" and "Timeless," it was the entire Voyager crew. This was the first time we got a good look at hell-raising Harry, but not the last.

The small scenes between Tom and Harry in this episode were lovely. Who'd have thunk that we'd see Tom reigning in rebel Harry? But it worked.
