[edit] Plot Overview

This episode starts with (now) Admiral Janeway almost 30 into the future; the year being 2404. The setting is back on Earth where it is revealed that Voyager had returned home and Starfleet is celebrating the 10 year anniversary of that return. It is stated the trip from the Delta Quadrant took a total of 23 years for Voyager to complete. Janeway is saddened upon reflection, and visiting with her past crew members; and, vows to return to the year 2378 in order to set right the events from the past. Back in the year 2378 the events that are unfolding are displayed: Tom and B'lonna are on the threshold of having their first child, Tuvock experiences difficulity in concentrating on a game of kal-toh, and Seven of Nine plays kadascot over a space web-cam with Neelix while contemplating her new relationship with Chakotay. Suddenly ships sensors detect what could be a worm hole, and the crew snaps to attention as they all man their posts.

The episode continues to unfold, bouncing back and forth between the two time-frames. In the future, Janeway visits Tuvock in a mental hospital, procures medical supplies from the Doctor, (now known as "Joe"), discusses her plans with Barklay, and prepares to steal technology from a Klingon in order to return to 2378. Voyager, explores the possible worm hole, when they run into a sudden appearance of a LOT of Borg. Voyager of 2378 manages to get out of Dodge before being detected (apparently), and heads back to a safer area of space. The 2378 story lines are continued with Tuvock and his medical condition, and Chakotay and Seven's romantic relationship. Meanwhile, the 2404 Admiral Janeway gets herself a ship, a time device, says good bye to her friends, and heads for the past, but ends up being perused by a disgruntled Klingon who wants his time technology back. Meanwhile, back in 2378 the crew discuss the dangers of the Borg, and decide it's not worth the risk of exploring the possible worm hole / trans-warp hub. Suddenly a trans-dimensional of time opens, and a much older Janeway bursts through with the attacking Klingon on her heals. The Voyager crew manages to seal the temporal rift, and all seems to be going as planned, even if the crew are somewhat shocked and skeptical of the new/old Janeway appearance. The first hour, and part 1 of the 2 hour show, closes with the revealing of the Borg queen quietly watching these events unfolding.

Lonewolf assigns this Episode: A This is based on continued story lines, advanced special effects, intricate plot, and unsuspected twists to the Voyager series as a whole. The only thing that kept this from being an A+, was time spent on trivial matters that could have been speant developing the characters of Joe, and the relationship between 7 and Chakotay.

Note: Critics and fans differed sharply on their perception of this 2 part show. While critics panned certain plot holes, complained about missed opportunities to develop cast and crew development, and argued that the ending should have been better, many fans praised the episode. It has been ranked as high as 9.3/10 (superb) on sites such as Memory-Alpha, and TV.com.
