S4E14 Message in a Bottle
The Doctor’s alpha quadrant adventure is pure cheesy fun! Andy Dick works well as an even haughtier Emergency Medical Hologram Mark 2. It’s a joy watching them play off of each other.
Auto correct tried to give me “Andy Duck.” I’d watch that too.
I could have done without the Paris and Kim side plot. In 2021 it seems silly that something as important as the EMH program doesn’t have a backup.

I would have preferred more of the Hirogen subplot. I don’t remember anything about them and they seem interesting.
But at least we’re finally moved the big “voyage home” story forward. From now on it’s less Star Trek: Gilligan’s Island and more Doctor Who: Blink sans the Weeping Angels of course. An above-average episode.
