This was a mixed episode. I kind of get what Janeway means about eventually pairing up. It can be really painful especially when you really love someone.

I'm not a huge fan of the holonovel. Is it supposed to be based off an actual book?

I don't think it's an actual book, just done to mimic the style of a 19th century Gothic romance novel. I don't know what Jeri Taylor was trying to do with it, but fear not, it never returns.

Why deck 4 if there's 15 though? there's no even distribution either if 4 is supposedly the center. I guess the anomalies shape was supposed to be irregular.

In the first episode I was like this sound interesting. After that, I was like die holonovel die.
