3/10
Violates the Prime Directive with Impunity
13 January 2024
Warning: Spoilers
The muse is a goofy bottle episode in which B'lanna Torres gets involved with thespians from a primitive alien culture. How this happened was a rather dubious scenario of Torres and Harry Kim being sent by themselves on an away mission to get some dilithium. Unforunately, the shuttle on a planet crashes and Torress is alone as Harry Kim took an escape pod and landed somewhere else on the planet, and wasn't seen until near the end of the episode.

Fantastically, only one alien from the planet sees the crashed shuttle and it happens to be a playwright and actor. He somehow manages to play the shuttle logs while Torres is knocked out, and use the information as fodder for a play. One play is not enough though and the playwright returns to the shuttle to get more fodder from Torres herself as he had tied her up. Torres convinces him to help her get some dilithium and this is where the prime directive was violated with impunity to include Toress being transported back to the ship from the stage in front of an aghast audience.
