Timeless

Previous episode felt like they didn't know what to come up with so they introduced an alien that worked before, only to completely turn the plot of that first episode upside down.

Harry was acting tough and cool, and angry, but it wasn't that good.

Beside from a small plot twist at the end which was kind of interesting the whole episode I felt like it was clear what they were going to do. If I would have to tell someone this story it would be a few lines long, and those few lines were stretched for almost the entire episode.

And the idea of the theme for this episode is something that also feels like visited too often in Star Trek.

That is as much as I can say without spoilers. If I could fix my previous mistakes I would send my drone girlfriend a message: skip this one.

This episode had it all - time travel, Voyager crash landing, big continuity advancement in the series story, and even a wonderful special guest appearance!

Great episode, very fun to watch and so many things that make Trek great.

Most of this episode is fine. It has a fascinating premise and it is nicely put together. There are some "buts" however. The business of changing time is still out there in the realm of impossibility. How humans can change it, is also beyond me. But, we need it for science fiction, so let's give it a pass. The one issue that bothered me here is that the cause of all the problems is a blind trust in Harry Kim, knucklehead at large. They had run 20 simulations and each had ended in problems. Enter the impatient Kim, and a little speech allows him and his friend Tom to go off into the ethos with no regard for testing. Anyway, the dark future is interesting and the effort to correct a fatal mistake are fun. One last thing. Don't give Harry any responsibility that affects the lives of the crew.

Despite the nitpicking I enjoyed this episode, the things that bug me about the teek universe is its always advertised as "the United federation of planets is about exploration, meeting new species, making friends" but every time they show a time travel episode it shows star fleet as being almost evil, uncaring, not at all showing anything their captains and crew preach about! There's always a criminal aspect to them too.. even in picard series it shows the future of drug users, alcohol, swearing etc.. its like as time went on the series just moved away from jeans original vision. Kim is a great character but in this episode he's a hot head and it doesn't suit him. They keep saying they have no time but they have time to talk about sex and go over all that's happened! The biggest mistake tho was using laforge, going off TNG and his character, he's a genius, able to do incredible things yet in this episode he's powerless to stop a shuttle from its mission Despite having a starship and full crew..

This episode is action packed, well written and a very plausible what if episode. Can't believe this episode is 24 years old, the effects are spot on and flawless. Voyager cracking into the ice is amazing. Go watch and enjoy!
