Hey kids it’s the Year Of Hell two-parter first hinted at in Before And After (Insert obligatory joke about each season of Voyager being a Year Of Hell here). Of course that means time travel too, well sort of, since no-one really travels in time.
So anyway, in this Voyager are making their way across Zahl (yes, really) space while being annoyed in a mosquito type way by alien ships. That is until the Zahl are erased from time by Annorax (no really), a Krenim scientist, (the always great Kurtwood Smith) obsessed with returning the Krenim Imperium to the timeline. Well, wouldn’t you? I mean, it almost rhymes for a start. From there on out things get worse and worse for Voyager, entire decks destroyed, Tuvok blinded, people killed, virtually no weapons left and it just gets better and better for me.
This is the kind of Voyager episode I’m talking about, no holds barred insanity, they’re only one ship in this vast quadrant anyway so you’d think they’d have been picked apart long ago. The Doctor is especially good in this going from an amusing speech at the start to his despair at having to let people die to save more.
Funniest thing said in this episode though goes to Janeway on time travel, “I’ve made it my goal to avoid it”. This is her avoiding it?!
