	The following article contains spoilers for "Elogium". This is the
one with the giant sea monkeys and the 24th-century version of _What's Hap-
pening to My Body?_.

	I have to say this is one of the two best "Voyager" episodes I've
ever seen. That said, let us riff.

[Kes admires the beetle]
Kes, to Neelix: What's wrong?
"I'm playing second fiddle to a bug!!"
[Kes speaks to Paris]
"Yeah, he *is*..."

Chakotay, to Janeway: Yesterday, I interrupted a couple kissing in the tur-
  bolift.
"And I was wondering, could I get some of that action?"

[first view of the space slugs]
"Guppies!"

"No one will be admitted during the gripping Bug-Munching Scene."

B'elanna or somebody: They appear to be flagellating, much like protozoa...
"Which does no good at all because they're in space and there's nothing to
push against. ...Right?"

[Kes stuffs her face]
"We now return to Bulimia Theater."

Dumb silence through the rest of that scene.

Doc: She's put up a force field. I'm locked out of my own office!
"So why don't you just *dematerialize*, Mr. *Hologram*?"

"Wait a minute! The whole time Kes has been hanging out with Neelix, she's
been underage??"

Kes: I have to think about whether to conceive...
"Well, seeing as there are no male Okampa on board..."

[Kes and Neelix agonize about parenthood]
"I guess this scene is supposed to be thought-provoking, but it only makes
me want to beat my head against a wall."

Neelix: Let's sleep on it.
"Wink wink nudge nudge..."

[Neelix and Tuvok exchange significant looks]
"Tuvok! You're completely without sexual desire-- let's talk about this
fatherhood stuff!"

Tuvok: It could be a daughter.
[Neelix looks shocked]
"What's a daughter?"

Somebody on the bridge: Sensors show a large magnetic mass moving towards us.
"Uh-oh... Mom's home!"

B'elanna: A plasma emission is obviously an aggressive move!
"Oh, come on, it was only passing gas!"

Neelix: Then...
"...they've taken _Xenophilia_ to TV?"

[Kes explains more about Okampa mating]
"You've seen the Ivanova dance; now see a new level of interspecies wac-
kiness!"

[Cut to the Doc massaging Kes's feet]
Doc: So.
"He fell for it, did he?"

[Kes explains it was a false "elogium"]
"So she's still a kid, and in a relationship with Neelix? This *is* a whole
weird area..."

Do you know of a MOO with a few dozen K of unused database space and a need
for a bunch of bizarre and miscellaneous puzzles? Wanna give me its address?
