It’s nice to have Voyager reinforce the idea that truly alien organisms can exist and that the cosmos is not entirely hostile. To be fair, there is an interesting idea buried deep within Twisted. That’s why I’ll never wear it over my costume or reference it again…” Surprisingly, this does not make for compelling viewing.

it turns out that the phenomenon isn’t really a threat because the episode’s over, the problem resolve itself.

the crew decide they don’t have time to do anything else, so face their fate.

the crew attempt a techno-babble solution.

Janeway is incapacitated, the rest of the senior staff bicker – but avoiding falling into Starfleet/Maquis roles because that would be potentially interesting.

they inevitably end up back on the holodeck, because everybody knows that’s really the most important location on the ship anyway.

having never seen a horror movie, and clearly not at all worried about the constantly-shifting geography of the ship, the crew constantly split up.

the cast wander around the the corridor sets for an extended period of time.

a couple of the crew succeed at getting where they need to be, most don’t.

the crew try to get to important parts of the ship, this includes Tuvok inexplicably abandoning the bridge in the middle of a crisis so he can join the fun.

Tuvok reports this to Janeway, his voice getting loopy and distorted in the process for some inexplicable reason, the show avoids using this as an excuse to have the crew break into a spontaneous musical number.Voyager encounters a strange phenomenon.The story goes a little something like this: Twisted might serve as one of the purest examples of the “anomaly of the week” in the history of the franchise. On Star Trek: The Next Generation, something like the superb Cause and Effect would arguably be classified as an “anomaly of the week.” The problem occurs when the show uses these strange events as a substitute for storytelling. The Cloud was trying to be something interesting, even if it didn’t quite succeed. To be fair, “anomaly of the week” episodes are not inherently bad. Due to the nature of such stories, there’s little room to focus on character growth and development, as the events are typically generated from outside the ship and are typically resolved by techno-babble. The episode is very much the stereotypical “anomaly of the week” story, in which the Voyager cast encounter a strange phenomenon in space that causes wacky events that are helpfully resolved before the final credits role. “It could be worse… we could still be wandering through corridors…”Īll of this is a nice way of saying that Twisted is pretty bland.

Twisted is very much the equivalent of forty-five minutes of Star Trek themed dead air. While the script to Twisted is comprised of irritating moments, they don’t add up to anything substantial. It’s the most pointless sort of story imaginable, where a bunch of weird stuff happens to our characters and there’s no way to save the day so they just sit around and wait patiently until it stops. It has a whole host of problems, but the most fundamental issue with Twisted is that it is incredibly dull. Not only did it air behind the last episode produced as part of that first year, it also aired behind the first two episodes produced during the second season. The third of four episodes carried over from the end of the show’s first production year, it was the sixth episode of the show’s second broadcast season. It’s easy to see why the decision was made to bury Twisted as deep into the second season of Star Trek: Voyager as possible. This September and October, we’re taking a look at the jam-packed 1994 to 1995 season of Star Trek, including Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Star Trek: Voyager.
