Review
A pleasant light hearted episode with only a minor contention resulting in Tom and Torres finally getting married. I much enjoyed the race and the marvelous eye candy sprinkled about. It was kind of a nice homage to Voy: Day of Honor that the marriage proposal required another extreme situation. The way the episode wove together the alien race event with Harry's women problems and the Tom and Torres conflict was quite nice as well. Overall very decent, slightly above Voyager's average.
