Tom Paris is convicted of murder… but will this episode be convicted of being trash? Voyager’s homage to film noir thrillers spits tropes faster than Dixon Hill’s tommy gun spits hot lead, but it might not be enough to fend off a harsh verdict at the hands of Judge Later’s space court! Also: Kim adds “judgmental tattletale” to his already-impressive resume of character flaws. Delta Quadrant dogs look an awful lot like Alpha Quadrant dogs and the Voices from the Past don’t like it one bit. The Voyager writers room tries to write sexy, and the audience pays the price. Is “Ex Post Facto” good…or is it garbage?
