History Recap / StarTrekVoyagerS1E4Phage

* [[PlanetoidOfMirrors HallOfMirrors]]: The Vidiian ship hides inside a hollow asteroid lined with reflective surfaces. ''Voyager'''s solution was to fire a lower powered phaser which bounced around until it hit the non-reflective enemy ship.

* SpikesOfVillainy: The Vidiian medical scanner has a pair of sinister looking prongs. Lampshaded in everyone's reaction when Dereth scans them at the end.

* TheWorldsExpertOnGettingKilled: This episode gave further ammunition for [[TheScrappy Neelix bashers]] -- the rich dilithium deposits he brings ''Voyager'' to have all been mined out, and may have been TheBait for the Vidiians. OK, [[LetsSplitUpGang they were ordered by Chakotay to split up]], but Neelix doesn't return when ordered because he's too curious about the strange energy readings behind a solid wall...you'd think with Neelix's past as a deserter, salvager, small-time criminal, and purveyor of food poisoning, he'd be naturally cautious.

* FridgeLogic: If Neelix has only one lung, how come he never shuts up for the rest of the series?

* WhenHeSmiles: The Doctor maintains his DrJerk persona, except for when he wakes up Kes from the operation with a genuine smile.

* MistakenForGay: The Doctor leans over Neelix to adjust the biobed, saying, "Don't worry, I'm not going to kiss you." Neelix snarks back that he'll hide his disappointment.

* IntangibleMan: Humorously demonstrated by the Doctor when he suddenly slaps Tom Paris, then invites him to take a swing. Tom eagerly does so, only for his hand to pass through the Doctor's body.

* PunctuatedForEmphasis: When Neelix starts to panic over his confinement.

* AttackReflector

* GadgeteerGenius: B'Elanna is working on a ship-based dilithium refinery. The Doctor comes up with the idea of holographic lungs.

* MistakenForGay
* NoTimeToExplain / BrutalHonesty

* EverythingSensor: More of a Do Everything Sensor -- the Vidiian version can not only do a detailed medical scan, it can instantly transport someone's internal organs out of their body.

* TheHeart: Kes reassures Neelix and gives a RousingSpeech to the Doctor. Later she donates one of her lungs to cure Neelix.
* HowTheMightyHaveFallen: The Vidiians

* TheWorldsExpertOnGettingKilled: This episode gave further ammunition for [[TheScrappy Neelix bashers]] -- the rich dilithium deposits had all been mined out, and may have been TheBait for the Vidiians. OK, [[LetsSplitUpGang they were ordered by Chakotay to split up]], but Neelix doesn't return when ordered because he's too curious about the strange energy readings behind a solid wall...you'd think with Neelix's past as a deserter, salvager, small-time criminal, and purveyor of food poisoning, he'd be naturally cautious.

* InfiniteSupplies: Averted; the Away Team is searching the mine for dilithium, and plans are being made to set up a make-shift refinery on board ''Voyager''.

* TheMillstone: This episode gave further ammunition for [[TheScrappy Neelix bashers]] -- the rich dilithium deposits had all been mined out, and may have been TheBait for the Vidiians. OK, they were ordered by Chakotay to split up, but doesn't return when ordered because he's too curious about the strange energy readings behind a solid wall...you'd think with Neelix's past as a deserter, salvager, small-time criminal, and purveyor of food poisoning, he'd be naturally cautious.

While on an Away Mission, Neelix is attacked by an alien who surgically removes his lungs.

* AndIMustScream

* TheBait
* BizarreAlienBiology: Neelix boasts there are "a few Yallitaian engineers who'd give all three of their spinal columns to know where this planet is!" After his lungs are removed, Kes offers to donate hers, neither the Ocampa or anyone else on ''Voyager'' is compatible with a Talaxian.

* CloningBodyParts: Neelix cannot have his lungs replicated as they're too complicated. This forces the Doctor to develop holographic lungs as a temporary measure until the crew can either track down his stolen organs or find a compatible donor.

* EverythingSensor: More of a Do Everything Sensor.
* ForgottenPhlebotinum

* GadgeteerGenius: B'Elanna and the Doctor.

* EverythingSensor: The handheld device used to steal Neelix's lungs is more of a Do Everything Sensor.
-->'''TORRES:''' We've completed our diagnostic on the alien device. It appears to be more than a weapon. It's also a very sophisticated medical scanner and surgical instrument.
-->'''TUVOK:''' From what we can tell, it uses a neural resonator to stun the victim, while a quantum imaging begins a microcellular analysis of the entire body.
-->'''TORRES:''' The amount of information this thing can gather puts a tricorder to shame. You fire this at someone, you learn everything about their anatomy, right down to their DNA sequencing.
* ForgottenPhlebotinum: The Vidiian scanner would come in usesful, eh? Even if you'd prefer lungs to be left where they are.

** The Vidiians are introduced as a recurring menace for ''Voyager''.

* GadgeteerGenius: Neelix has assembled a working kitchen out of scrounged items (without asking Janeway's permission), B'Elanna is modifying an impulse reactor into a crude dilithium refinery (contrary to Starfleet regulations), and the Doctor is paralyzing Neelix so he can breathe through lungs made of projected energy and forcefields. Perhaps they should have called this episode "The {{Mad Scientist}}s".

* LethalChef: After Janeway orders Neelix out of his kitchen, he volunteers a nearby RedShirt to keep on eye on the kitchen, which is in the process of going up in smoke.

** The Vidiian doctor scans the crew for compatible donors, but frowns when he reaches the Doctor.
-->'''VIDIIAN:''' Strange. According to my readings, you are not here.
