Probably one of the best episodes
from that troubled series has to be the episode The Thaw. Basically,
people from a deep freeze have their minds actively through a dream
world program. Their minds created a projection of their collective
fears in the form of The Clown (Michael
McKean).
This Clown terrorized them and had a desire to live on through the
program.
The
best part of the program is the way Captain Janeway tricks the Clown
into destroying himself. It is wonderfully directed with the lights
going down slowly until it is completely dark and the music fades.
That is a very wonderful ending. A real shame we couldn't have gotten more shows like this.
By
the way, check out McKean's expression at the end...priceless.
Clown:
“I'm afraid.”
Janeway:
“I know.”
Clown:
“Drat.”
