A thesp-turned-crook gets a chance at career in movies as well as crime scene investigation in this offbeat action comedy with nods to Raymond Chandler. Harry Lockhart (Robert Downey Jr.) is a struggling New York actor who high-tails it to Los Angeles. Once there, Lockhart winds up at the posh home of the aptly named homosexual private eye Gay Perry (Val Kilmer) amid a lavish Hollywood party, hoping to score a life-changing role in a Hollywood feature. Harry becomes reacquainted with Harmony (Michelle Monaghan), a girl he had a major crush on in his small-town Indiana high school, who may be a bit more interested in him now than she was years ago. He takes both her and her girlfriend home with him, but -- in a moment of drunken stupor -- accidentally sleeps with the wrong woman. Meanwhile, when a series of female bodies turns up across L.A., Harry slowly breaks into detective work, mentored by Perry. The biggest twist? Shane Black riffs Adaptation and other films by having Harry (via satirical narration) write the movie while he is living it. Harry assures the audience that unlike Lord of the Rings, this one won't have 17 endings. Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang marks the first directorial credit for Black, who created the Lethal Weapon franchise. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Commander Chakotay (Robert Beltran) is rendered unconscious by a temporal energy blast from the warp core. Upon awakening, Chakotay finds that the Voyager has been "time-zoned," half of the ship is in the past, and half is in the future. In addition to offering a fascinating crash course in Voyager's history (with the help of a few judicious chosen clips from earlier episodes), this episode also marks a return appearance by Dr. Chaotica (Martin Rayner), the central character in the Doctor's (Robert Picardo) holographic novel. "Shattered" was first telecast on January 17, 2001. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Chad Everett guest stars as Rev. Daniel Brewster, who is involved in a terrible car accident shortly after presiding over the opening of the Mount Calvary Teen Center. Daniel's son Luke (Christopher Pettit) was killed in the accident, and now the minister is consumed with guilt: Having quarrelled bitterly with his son just before the tragedy, Daniel holds himself responsible for the boy's death. Originally assigned merely to raise funds for the Center and handle the teen hot line, angels Monica (Roma Downey) and Andrew (John Dye) are quick to realize that their job is far from over. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The men and women of the Starship Enterprise discover one of their former comrades has turned traitor in this episode of the sci-fi series Star Trek: Voyager. A false Federation signal leads Captain Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) and the crew of the Enterprise into a trap set by a Kazon ship. The Kazon bandits steal a transporter from the Enterprise, and Janeway tries to persuade the thieves to return it, telling them it's useless without knowledge of Federation technology. However, Kazon leader Culluh (Anthony De Longis) reveals shocking information: Seska (Martha Hackett), a former Enterprise crewmember who has joined up with the Cardassians, is working with them. Star Trek: Voyager -- Maneuvers first aired on November 20, 1995. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

In part one of this episode, Sisko and his officers had once more fallen into the hands of the Jem'hadar, soldiers of the Dominion, while Odo had left his comrades high and dry to embark upon a mysterious mission to the Omarion Nebula. In part two, Odo arrives on his home planet, which is now completely populated by shapeshifters like himself. Meanwhile, the Founders, leaders of the Dominion, offer to draw up a peace treaty with the Federation, but Sisko has ample reason to oppose this action. Scripted by Ira Steven Behr from a story by Behr and Robert Hewitt Wolfe, part two of "The Search" originally aired October 8, 1994. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
