The fact that people think it doesn’t mean extra pressure and scrutiny (massive trigger warning for that link) is put on rape victims, to the point that some may not report at all for fear of being disbelieved. The fact is that false reporting is really rare. The writers/producers of this episode send a terrible message that reinforces a misconception that many women lie (or misremember) about being assaulted. We all bear responsibility for Kovin’s death, and we all have to live with it, but to delete that burden would be the last thing any of us should do. I wanted her to know she was part of this family, that we would support her, fight for her no matter what. Janeway: I won’t turn back the clock because of one mistake, no matter how serious, and no matter how you might feelWe all rallied around Seven, Doctor, myself included.
Then The Doctor reports to Janeway and offers to delete the algorithims that have made him expand his programming. The Doctor condescendingly explains to Seven that her preoccupation with Kovin’s death is remorse and will take time to subside. Now all the characters realize how much of a mistake it was to support Seven when she (and we) believed she’d been violated. Janeway gives Seven a stern look, because she probably doesn’t feel terrible enough. But just as he’s about to nearly destroy them, his weapons overload and his ship is destroyed. He says he doesn’t believe them and fires at Voyager but Janeway refuses to return fire. They catch up to Kovin’s ship and Janeway tries to hail him to tell him they’ve made a mistake. It would’ve been really nice for The Doctor to admit the room for error before he coached her earlier. Seven is understandably upset and feels betrayed. Seven: You were the one who helped me to understand what happened and now you’re denying it. I can’t be certain what triggered those memories, and we can’t ignore the fact that this evidence supports Kovin’s story, and not yours. Something prompted that behaviour and I believed it was a repressed memory of your ordeal with Kovin.ĭoctor: But if I’m to be impartial, I have to acknowledge that your neurology is still something of a mystery to me. Your extreme response to Kovin in engineering, your irrational fear when I was examining you. Nevertheless, The Doctor feels he’s found some evidence to support her story.ĭoctor: Everything led me to believe that you were a victim. It’s important that you recognise that so you can understand any hostility or resentment you might be feeling.Ī bit later, he accompanies Janeway, Tuvok, Kovin and the Magistrate down to Kovin’s weapons lab, which doesn’t look anything like Seven’s memories. Kovin attacked you, violated your rights as an individual. She’s not aware of whether she’s feeling any, but The Doctor helps her get in touch with her anger. Meanwhile, The Doctor is trying to help Seven cope with her feelings. Kovin is bitter about the accusations, and also afraid that his business and reputation will be ruined. But The Doctor advocates for her and Janeway assures him she’ll take the allegations seriously.īoth Janeway and Tuvok question Kovin separately. Janeway wants to know how much of her story can be corroborated and Tuvok reminds everyone she’s “experienced hallucinatory images before”.
