Episode 118: Relativity
Okay, let’s just save each other some time and pretend I complained that there’s time travel again here.
Janeway and Admiral Oftheweek are touring Voyager at Utopia Planitia as it’s being made only for shock! Horror! Seven is there and she’s looking for a bomb that affects time. Get it? It’s a time bomb! Oh those writers. She doesn’t find it and dies, guess she wasn’t *takes of sunglasses* in time. Switch to the Voyager of the present and the crew are finding temporal anomalies on the ship. They’re quite blase about it before that is, it affects the ship and it explodes. Seven though it saved by being taken out of time to appear on the 29th century timeship Relativity and it seems not for the first time. This time Captain Braxton sends her to when Voyager was under threat from Kazon. Not the Kazon! She captures the bomber and in a twist finds that it’s Braxton. Well, I think it’s a twist, the way the episodes going it may be a straight. Anyway, it seems Voyager’s travelling in time has driven him insane and I can sympathise. But hey, it’s not over yet. Now Janeway, for some reason, has to go back in time in a pointless 60 second scene to prevent any of this from happening in the first place. Too late, I saw it, it happened.
It seems that the people on the Relativity have a motto that “there’s no time like the past”. Well, I also have a motto, it’s “just shut up”.
