"Favorite Son" is an episode of the American science fiction television series Star Trek: Voyager. First broadcast on UPN on March 19, 1997, it was written by Lisa Klink and directed by Marvin V. Rush. Set in the 24th century, the show follows the adventures of the crew of the starship USS Voyager after they are stranded in the Delta Quadrant, far from the rest of the Federation. In the episode, Ensign Harry Kim (Garrett Wang) is led to believe he is a member of an alien species known as the Taresians. On discovering this is a ruse by the female aliens to attract and kill their men during reproduction, the crew rescues Kim and restores him to his original state. Klink originally developed the script to reveal that Kim is an alien, but this concept was abandoned following multiple rewrites. The story was reinterpreted as a male fantasy, and Taresians were likened to geishas and Sirens. "Favorite Son" received largely negative reviews from critics who viewed the Taresians as sexist stereotypes. (Full article...)

TFA attempt[edit]

@Dank: Apologies for the ping, but I wanted to let you know that I have attempted a TFA blurb. I am incredibly rusty with this kind of editing and writing so you are more than free to edit anything. I honestly hate that it will be soon be three years since this article got promoted lol. Aoba47 (talk) 23:19, 19 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
