Okay, so they made the last one like a romantic comedy but obviously thought it was too Star Trek with the characters (who can blame them) and what with the pesky science fiction.
Neelix and Janeway chat, one thing leads to another and we get Tales of Janeway's Ancestor, Shannon O'Donnell. Shannon who after being fired from the space programme finds herself in the Indiana town of Portage Creek in the run up to new years eve 2000. I feel like I'm narrating a trailer for a romantic movie. She finds herself at a bookstore run by Henry Janeway and... oh no, I am narrating that. At least we know where our Captain Janeway gets her voice from. It turns out he’s the only of the stores in the town that has held out against being bought out by a company wanting to build the Millennium Gate (think a shopping mall mixed with the Eiffel Tower) as he doesn’t like the future apparently. Wait until he gets to the Eugenics Wars.... what do you mean they already happened? She eventually convinces him to, they fall in love and live happily ever after. Meanwhen in the present...um...future, Janeway is disappointed her ancestor didn’t colonise Mars or something.
At the start Neelix has been looking up the Great Wall Of China on Space Wikipedia and tells Janeway the incorrect Neelixfact that it's the only man made object that can be seen from space.
For the most part this isn’t bad, it’s actually the 24th century parts that let it down and occur throughout the story rather than just framing it. I just don’t care that Janeway’s disappointed her ancestor wasn’t a space explorer.
