Repentance - S7-E13
Stupidity: When the prisoners escape, one takes Yediq hostage. Tuvok then tells the bridge to lock onto Yediq and beam him (to safety). However, when Iko took Seven hostage earlier, Tuvok never suggested beaming her to safety.
Stupidity: When Kellin is hit with the neurolytic emitter, it erases her memories of the outside world. However, the effects aren't immediate and take some time (enough to get her to sick bay and have time to talk to Chakotay). However, she spends her time telling Chakotay to help her remember their relationship, etc. when her memory is gone instead of just making a recording of herself describing the relationship and her feeling which can then be shown to her after her memory is gone. She might not believe the recording, but seeing herself discuss the situation would be better than just relying on Chakotay (who will soon be a stranger she never met) telling her something so unbelievable.
Answer: The torpedo stopped him from succeeding.
