     In this episode, Tom Paris, Tuvok, and the doctor were on a shuttle mission when their craft was sucked into an anomaly and they crashed on the surface of a barren desert planet.  There they found many other survivors of crashes.  Everyone on the planet stole from everyone else in an attempt to stay alive.  But when Tuvok saved the life of one of the crashed aliens they became allies and used her ship for shelter.  During their stay on the planet, the alien fell in love with Tuvok, but he was unable to return her affection because Vulcans are trained to hide their emotions.  After several months of being stranded on the planet, they received a message from Voyager stating that there was a temporal differential between the Voyager and the pocket of subspace the team was trapped in.  After some calculations they established a meeting point and were beamed out, just before another alien race collapsed the singularity.
     This episode had some rather slow parts but was overall an enjoyable episode which mainly focused on Tuvok's character and well as some flash backs to Tuvok's childhood when he accepted and showed emotion.

Rating for "Gravity"

Andrew's Rating: 7.4
This episode help develop Tuvok's character significantly.

Anthony's Rating: 7.2
 I thought it was interesting to see parts of Tuvok's early life, however small the parts were.  I didn't like the love story that much, but it was somewhat necessary to get into Tuvok's life.  However, the rest of the episode was rather drab and mundane.  Tuvok's struggles with emotion could have been implemented in a better way. 

Carl's Rating: 7.4
In my humble opinion this episode was one of the worst of the season.  The only thing that made it bearable was looking into Tuvok's past.  I thought that the love story was kind of pointless.  Not to say that love stories in Star Trek are bad, but this one had nothing to start with.  This episode could have been so much better, it's sad really.
