id side with Ransom, despite his short comings though he did redeem himself at the end. And i believe Janeway kept her promise to him in the end, she did get their crews home by the way.

Ransom failed his crew by abandoning the principals of military discipline (ok Star Fleet training but I'm trying not to sound like a Trekker). Once he threw away their command structure he doomed them to never get home. Like the Doctor's alter ego said "They deleted my ethics sub-routine". With that gone almost anything is possible. have you never read "Lord of the Flies"?

It's kinda scary to know that most agree with killing for their own purposes. I'm totally on Janeway's side.
-
I have to side with Ransom. Unlike Voyager, his ship's ETA is over 400 years, so following Starfleet protocol he has no chance whatsoever of getting home. He had no options but to bend the rules or die in the middle of the Delta Quadrant.

where did you you get that music?
-
um, nice lord of the rings music at the beginning.

I disagree strongly with the aforementioned viewpoints. Weigh the lives of eighty sentient humans, with the lives of hundreds of equally sentient aliens of whom humans had no knowledge (of culture, etcetera). If humans were the fuel source, we would protest just as strong.
Ransom was wrong. Even from pure objectivism, he should not have allowed emergency use (heinous at best) to escalate to where it was. He reformed in the end, though- he saved that much of himself.

well, would do the same, if i where ransom...
after that what i still know of the episode, the equinox was more suffering than the voyager..
i would be nice if somebody could post the episode...

no no no, just the captain, not the ship.
I always thought Star Trek Voyager SHOULD have been like what the Equinox went through- they had to make tough choices and break rules to survive- Voyager still had replicators and holodecks, so they were hardly suffering...

I agree somewhat, but I think that it would not have been Star Trek if it were.
However, maybe you'd really enjoy the 2003 sci-fi series Battlestar Galactica! Violence, torture, betrayal and internal conflict are the order of the day in BSG. Life is tough, and people need to make hard decisions all the time.

Actually, the opening sequence of the video was more of a joke really. Exaggurating it a bit, with Lord of the Rings music, was the plan.
