I guess the bottom line comes down to the effectiveness of the characterization, and on that level, "Eye of the Needle" works pretty well. At the same time, the tease of "will Voyager get home?" is not a premise that lends itself to a particularly surprising ending-it's a near-painfully foregone conclusion. The resulting excitement among the Voyager crew when they realize they may be within striking distance of returning to the Alpha Quadrant leads to a number of well-acted and passionate scenes. The basic premise of "Eye of the Needle" is both its biggest strength and weakness. Could Voyager's crew use it to beam back home? Torres show that it may also be possible to send a transporter signal through the wormhole.
Although it is too small for the Voyager to travel through, the crew is able to send a communication signal through it, which is received by a Romulan science vessel. and if you were lucky, you wouldn't die on the table while you were making up your mind."Įnsign Kim discovers a wormhole that leads back to the Alpha Quadrant.
