So yeagh, it’s Voyager and it’s a time travel episode. What are you gonna do? Let’s just get on with this, maybe it’ll be a good one, it starts off well enough, Janeway’s dead.
Well, I’ll give them this at least it’s a different slant on time travel and it’s not a terrible episode, it does help that Kes is the main focus too, but most of Voyager isn’t terrible, it’s just not good either. We start off in the future where she’s dying and starts travels backward in time to various points but as she does so only has memory of the future. Which isn’t the best way to find out your daughter’s married to Harry Kim to be honest, but we’ll try not to think about the social ramifications of Ocampans only living to nine years old and move along.
Part of Kes’ temporal wanderings involve her trip to what the crew in the future called the ‘Year Of Hell’, when Janeway died, the Doctor was offline for months and the ship was attacked constantly by the Krenim who we’ll meet in a two-parter of the same name. Now that’s what I’m talking about, a bit of danger in their lives, they are after all one ship as opposed to a fleet of ships which they were in the Alpha Quadrant. By rights they’d have been annihilated now by the many bands of marauding aliens if they weren’t incompetent marauding aliens.
Lastly the Doctor’s hair in the future. It’s a betrayal of all folically challenged people everywhere! Oh to be a hologram...
