Dylan is near death in another universe.

Does this remind anyone of TNG's The Inner Light?

Will someone please tell me what the point to this episode was?

Is it just me or is this show getting dangerously close to jumping the shark?

Actually, the first TNG episode I thought of was Shades of Gray, but I see your point as well.

I saw this episode last night.
It was as nonsensical as a Voyager episode.
It was much worse than Shades of Gray.
Heck, I never thought Shades of Gray was that bad to begin with(My least favorite TNG episode is Unnatural Selection).

I have found things to enjoy about most episodes; even the most recent episodes. This one, though--the clips were extraordinarily long and seemed shoved in at random (Yes, if you looked, you could sometime see a sort of link between Dylan's "dream" and his "memories," but it was always a strange and awkward one).

I think it is marginally better than the TNG where Riker was in a coma, but that's probably just the fact that I was busy talking with a friend through most of this one.

Holding out for season three . . .

When Picard first 'arrives' on Kataan in "The Inner Light," he understandably asks, "What is this place?"
In this episode, when Dylan first 'arrives' in nowhere land, he initally seems to think that nothing's wrong. Granted, being in bed with a beautiful woman(as he is here) may be pleasant, but I'd at least wonder how I got there. The fact that Dylan doesn't sets the course for the rest of this sorry episode.

The only thing this ep did for me was to show me once again what a _big_ mistake TIIC made in dropping Wolfe and Behr and letting the Hercmeister turn the show into his own personal toybox.
It did remind me, though, of Voyager's "Non Sequitur" if it had been written by someone who just didn't care.
"Is it just me or is this show dangerously close to jumping the shark?" Harvey, see "Oroborous"; and that's the bottom line...if you smell what I'm cooking.

A version of what could have been but we're not sure if it was real or just a dream/hallucination.

This could be an upside for the crew's fight against The Spirit of the Abyss. If that was truly a blackhole alien similar to the SoA, then she may help fight SoA and prevent the destruction of the known galaxies. However, she didn't seem too fond of Dylan herself the last time we saw her...

Is it me or was Laura Bertram's gold paint on her cleavage, neck and face more noticeable tonight than in past episodes?

It was one of the better clip shows... definitely better than the The Simpsons episode Gump Roast.

I'm just surprised Trance's abilities did not really help out this time 'round, aside from helping Harper rebuild the teleportation device.

Laura Berman's makeup is getting appreciably darker. Look at the contrast between the Ouroborous clips & the frame footage.

This is actually one of the more poorly done clip shows I've seen; most don't plonk whole scenes from other shows in, wholesale.

Laura BERMAN? Oh, *please* tell me she hasn't eloped with the other half of Enterprise's notorious Killer B's.
What is it _with_ those two? First Braga gets next to Jeri Ryan; and now _this_!

LOL!

So, I can't type . . .

This was just an ok clip show, it is nowhere near as good as the clip shows on stargate...

however, I much prefered purple trance she was cute, but gold trance doesn't have the cuteness.
