“Take Me Out to the Holosuite” didn’t become my new favorite episode or anything, but I did enjoy it after years of skipping it because I got bored with the baseball plot the first time I saw it.
I also always skipped VOY: Initiations and had completely forgotten Aron Eisenberg was in that one until the last re-watch when I opted not to skip any episodes.
They absolutely do! I was thinking that earlier. They become like your own personal “lost episodes”.
