Repentance (Star Trek: Voyager) - Response

Response

This episode's allegorical look at the American prison system was somewhat controversial with Trek fans, with some accusing it of being too liberal, on the one hand, the Iko plotline establishes that Iko was a sick man, and with treatment he could have been a productive member of society. On the other hand, while Joleg's stories of racial profiling may be true, Joleg himself is revealed as a manipulative creature, unworthy of Neelix's trust.

Famous quotes containing the word response:

    Parents’ accepting attitudes can help children learn to be open and tolerant. Parents can explain unfamiliar behavior or physical handicaps and show children that the appropriate response to differences should be interest rather than revulsion.
    Dian G. Smith (20th century)

    Love is the victim’s response to the rapist.
    Ti-Grace Atkinson (b. 1938?)

    Because humans are not alone in exhibiting such behavior—bees stockpile royal jelly, birds feather their nests, mice shred paper—it’s possible that a pregnant woman who scrubs her house from floor to ceiling [just before her baby is born] is responding to a biological imperative . . . . Of course there are those who believe that . . . the burst of energy that propels a pregnant woman to clean her house is a perfectly natural response to their mother’s impending visit.
    Mary Arrigo (20th century)
