— Captain Janeway Star Trek: Voyager is the third and last 'next generation' series, running for seven seasons from January 1995 through May 2001. The double-length pilot episode saw the USS Voyager, under the command of Captain Kathryn Janeway, called in to apprehend a paramilitary group led by Chakotay, a renegade Starfleet officer. In the midst of trying to locate him, Voyager was yanked across the galaxy by an alien known as the Caretaker, who was also responsible for abducting Chakotay's ship. During a battle with the Kazon, Janeway destroyed the device that had abducted them rather than let it be misused.

This had the effect of now stranding both crews in the Delta Quadrant, on the other side of the galaxy, For the next seven seasons, Voyager looked for a shortcut back to Earth while dodging or battling an assortment of nogoodniks within the Delta region. For, they also crossed swords with a pair of Ferengi that had been back in, the Q Continuum, assorted Romulans and Cardassians, a diaspora of Klingons, and even a rogue Starfleet vessel which was also kidnapped by the Caretaker. To make matters worse, the Delta Quadrant happens to be the home of the Borg Collective. VOY ranks as one of the more Trek series, with fan debate and controversy continuing to this day — usually directed at Captain Janeway, considered to be the most morally ambiguous of the five captains. Season One offered up a promising mish-mash of crewmen with than those of TOS or TNG, with pasts as rebels, convicts, con men, or (later) Borg drones. By Season Two, the crew and their rogues gallery were into something more palatable for family viewing, and the producers had found a winning formula (in keeping with the late-90s fantasy TV boom) in embracing. The show had a of both writers and actors, and tragically—and predictably, in hindsight—fell victim to in its second year.

At the time, Paramount wanted the show to be the flagship series of its own new broadcast channel,; hence, occurred almost continually. To an even greater extent than, Voyager very much represented an for the Trek franchise, with a bigger emphasis on action. This was aided in large part by the Delta Quadrant being seemingly the most savage of the four Quadrants — nearly every race the Voyager Crew meet is as xenophobic as they are powerful. The series also toyed with improved CGI effects and a couple of two-part telemovies featuring the Borg, some of which were rather. See also the for the show's continuation in novel form. The first video game takes place in this show, and the actors from the show provide their voices for their counterparts (except Jeri Ryan as Seven-Of-Nine, until an expansion pack including her was released).

Elite Force is usually considered to be one of the best Trek computer games ever released, and the level of consistency between the show and the game's content is probably one of the main reasons why. In the game, you're issued bulky phaser rifles, beam over to Borg cubes, and kick ass, not unlike in those VOY episodes where the show was firing on all cylinders. The has its own work page.

Like all Trek shows, Voyager has its own. •: Primitives, volcanoes, and giant lizards. II' is the last straw where the show tipped over from being relatively hard sci-fi to a pulp adventure serial. No-nonsense Janeway turns over some rocks and instructs her crew to eat the grubs they find underneath. •: The complete series dvd collection contains a total of 47 discs. •: The Species 8472 are initially portrayed as the most genocidal species that Star Fleet has ever encountered. After the hostile invade their home dimension, the genetically superior aliens embark on a crusade across the Milky Way to annihilate all other lifeforms, not just Borg, because they believe that their mere existence might be a threat to their purity.

They mercilessly destroy billions of Borg before their invasion is halted by a. The following season, this is subverted when they are retconned into having only acted out of self-defense, and they're actually open to diplomacy.

•: Captain Janeway is engaged to a civilian named Mark Johnson when the titular ship becomes stranded on the other side of the galaxy. Mark eventually marries someone else, which Janeway finds out when Starfleet reestablishes contact with Voyager in ', 14 months after the ship was declared missing in action and she was declared. •: Try to imagine a retooling of something like 'Dark Frontier' (Borg heist film!) or 'Year of Hell' ( ), or even 'The Killing Game' (.with aliens!) being retooled for a JJ Abrams blockbuster. It would work a lot better as Star Trek theatrical releases than something like DS9's 'Homefront'/'Paradise Lost' or 'In Purgatory’s Shadow'/'By Inferno’s Light', even if those are better television stories and probably have superior acting than today's Trek. •: Played with in 'Blink of an Eye', with two scientists trying to discover if there's anyone on board Voyager, which has been in their sky for their civilisation's entire history due to.

The Scully doubts there's anyone on board, but when the Mulder asks why he's on the mission in the first place, he adds that he doubts everything - including his own doubts. •: • If the Doctor's programming isn't getting messed with, then it's a sentient (twice!) or holograms with who are causing the problem. • The robot army in 'Prototype', the adaptive missiles in 'Dreadnought' and 'Warhead', and the holograms in 'Flesh and Blood'. In each case, their main advocate on the ship () was forced to put them all down to protect the Quadrant. • 'Why is everyone so worried about holograms taking over the universe?'

Zimmerman on DS9, rubbing his forehead at the thought of back home. It's a good in-joke if you're familiar with this show. •: How they ended up in the Delta Quadrant in the first place in 'Caretaker'.

Plus there's the Vidiians seeking to to replace their own diseased tissue. And 'The 37's', abducted from the opposite side of the galaxy because. Also 'Heroes and Demons' and 'Displaced'. •: In 'Nemesis', Chakotay was being brainwashed to hate the Kadrin through a simulation that depicted them as monsters. Everything that happened from his viewpoint, until Tuvok found him, never did.

•: The image of Seska and Cullah strutting onto the Bridge as Janeway and her crew are held at gunpoint is a worthy successor to 'Best of Both Worlds', also written by Piller. Alas it gets resolved next season. •: The ship frequently crossed dimensions or timelines, resulting in meetings with their other selves. Usually they weren't that different, except in cases with a. •: • The Kazon are a race of gang-bangers. • Subverted with Species 8472. They're introduced as a monolithic, xenophobic, omnicidal race of telepathic aliens, but later revealed to just be acting in self-defense.

• The Kradin from 'Nemesis' are a race of monstrous warriors who engage in genocide and various other brutalities. It all turns out to be a lie perpetuated by their more human-looking enemies, who were brainwashing third parties to use as shock troops. •: Janeway often takes great risks to save Seven of Nine. •: In the early episodes, the Doctor couldn't shut off his own program. This annoyed him when people would just leave the room without deactivating him. In one instance, he specifically requests that, should the crew choose to abandon the ship for any reason, they take the time to shut him off before they leave.

If they didn't, he'd be stuck in Sickbay until power failed, completely alone. •: Paris has this forced upon him in 'Ex Post Facto', where he is forced to relieve the final moments of a man he was convicted of murdering. •: 'Flesh and Blood's Iden was programmed to adhere to the Bajoran faith.

Eventually, he figures he doesn't want to associate his people with anything dirty and 'organic' — but his subroutines still demand a deity and so he appoints himself. Doctor: (sarcastically) And on the seventh day, Iden created Ha'Dara. •: • 'Warlord': Kes's mind is taken over by the warlord in question. • 'Nemesis': The Nemesis are a monstrous species of aliens engaged in a war of extermination against the humanoid natives. Subverted, as it's revealed to be a simulation run by the natives to brainwash new recruits, and the 'warlike aliens' were the ones who helped rescue a kidnapped Chakotay. •: John Kelly's final logs from the Ares IV mission.

He's trapped in a graviton ellipse and he continues to record log entries and collect data right up to the point where all the power on his spacecraft fails and he dies. Chakotay admires him for this. Chakotay: That's dedication.

The man's life is about to end, but he won't stop taking readings. •: 'Death Wish' reveals that Q's defiance of the Continuum and subsequent exile during the early years of TNG was what inspired the renegade Quinn's attempts to commit suicide prior to Voyager discovering him. •: Unlike most examples it's not world shaking but does make someone realize something. In an episode where the crew is unwillingly and unknowingly experimented on by a alien species, Janeway's aggression and irrationality is increased significantly. At one point she tells Tuvok to harshly punish several crew members for very minor things. Tuvok asks 'Should I have them flogged as well?' That's when Janeway realizes that something is very wrong with her. Cloud System Booster Serial Pro more.

Note Tuvok knew that would snap her back to reality. •: Neelix was originally supposed to be Voyager's guide through the Delta Quadrant as well as Kes's love interest. However, he quickly became the ship's cook and comic relief, rarely being of any real use when it came to navigation or preparing Voyager for the dangers of the Delta Quadrant. The trope came into full effect in Season 3 and 4, as Voyager had moved on from the area of space he was familiar with, making him useless as a guide, and Kes's fully powers emerged, forcing her to leave the ship. The show tried to keep him relevant by making him the ship's ambassador and 'morale officer' but while this gave him a little, this did very little to give Neelix an important role in the series.

•: Seven of Nine was born as Annika Hansen. Her de-assimilation from the Borg Collective happens in her debut, and even though she starts to accept her fate of being an individual again as time goes by, she almost always gets called by her old Borg designation for the rest of the series.

•: • In the second episode, Kes asked for soil samples to help her in setting up a hydroponics bay. Hydroponics is the means of growing plants without soil. • In the episode 'Macrocosm' we have viruses(!) which can grow in size - up to a meter, fly, and hover in the air. It turns out that they somehow could do it by taking an alien growth hormone. • The Ocampans (Kes' race) In Voyager, can only reproduce once, and have one child. No species could evolve such a trait and thrive. EVERY member of the race would to reproduce to have 0 population growth.

If any member of the race dies, then the race as a whole has taken a blow it cannot recover from. • They also have a life span of nine years which would only exacerbate their rapid depopulation. •: Frankly, it's a miracle Voyager managed to make it home to the Alpha Quadrant with anyone still alive. A major violation is their use of 'bio-neural gel packs,' which are essentially organic components. They were supposedly superior than standard computer circuits but actually left the ship open to more threats, such as the infamous moment when Neelix nearly destroyed the ship while trying to curdle cheese.

In addition, apparently the manual overrides for the doors don't work without power, which is the whole point of having a manual override. •: The writers decided to go the route with Chakotay and deliberately left his heritage as 'unspecified, related to a Central American nation' due to the complex politics surrounding Native portrayals. Apparently, picking one nation, and consulting its members on what a respectful and accurate portrayal of their culture would look like, would have been too hard. • They were actually by a consultant.

They recruited someone named Jamake Highwater who claimed to be an expert on Native American culture. However, it turned out he was a con artist whose only knowledge of Native American culture came from movies. The producers didn't find this out until much later, sadly. At the time, they thought they were getting a reasonably authentic Native American character (as authentic as one could be in the 24th century, in-universe there was a bit of a revival of old traditions among Native American descendents). Of course, that just makes it a as no-one even thought to question the 'expert' or verify what he said; he'd actually been publicly exposed nearly a decade earlier. •: • Neelix suggests for their honeymoon, Tom and B'Elanna take a cruise on a sea of liquid argon.

Argon is only a liquid between -189 and -185 degrees Celsius! Granted, this takes place on the holodeck, but given how often the safety protocols decide to break.

• In one episode, Janeway proposes punching through the event horizon of the anomaly they're trapped in. In case you didn't know, an event horizon is a mathematical boundary rather than an actual physical barrier you could break through. While this may differ with quantum singularities, where punching through may have involved bending subspace in a way that would change the mathematical properties of the barrier, neither scenario was established. •: In 'Fair Haven,' one of the villagers tells the Doctor (who's playing a priest) that he's 'broken the Fifth Commandment again.'

The Doctor brushes him off, telling him to 'just recite ten Our Father's and you'll be fine.' 'Our Father' is a Catholic prayer, the Doctor's costume is that of a Catholic priest, the setting is Ireland (which is predominately Catholic), and right after, the villager does the Catholic Sign of the Cross. However, the writers were either thinking of the relatively innocuous Protestant Fifth Commandment, 'Honor Thy Father and Thy Mother,' or telling a seriously dark joke. The Catholic bible divides its chapters into slightly different verses, with the result that the Catholic Church's fifth commandment is 'Thou Shalt Not Kill.' •: It wouldn't be Star Trek without the Enterprise (or its equivalent) playing host to a gaggle of self-entitled dignitaries. ('Virtuoso', 'Someone to Watch Over Me', etc) In the latter episode, the guest of honor gets blissed out on synthehol (apparently, his species lacks the enzymes that break down booze) and turns into a Tex Avery wolf when Seven walks in.

'Seven of Mine!' ' •: • The series eventually the Kazons' tendencies by having Seven of Nine remark that assimilating them would weaken the Borg Collective.

• In the series finale, 'Endgame', infects herself with a bioweapon before meeting the Borg Queen. When the Queen assimilates her, it infects that entire collective. Admiral Janeway: •: by the Doctor in 'Message in a Bottle', when he needs to tell the computer to execute an attack and 'Attack Pattern Alpha' is the only attack pattern he can think of (luckily for him, it does turn out to be a real attack pattern.) •: • Jeri Taylor loves her some, if you hadn't figured it out from Janeway's Victorian novel holoprogram. Or Tom's Celtic village holoprogram.

Or Q's reenactment of with himself as a swashbuckling Union man in blue (despite him leading the equivalent of the Q Confederacy!). • Rick Berman is a self-admitted time travel addict, which explains the cornucopia of those episodes on VOY and ENT. • Brannon Braga is fond of B-movie creature features and stories.

He got to indulge both in the unintentional comedy classic, 'Threshold'. He also came up with the Phage, a sort of flesh-eating disease which can't be cured—even with amputations or skin grafts—requiring the victim to keep harvesting flesh. •: • An application of this trope occurs in the episode 'Author, Author', in which writes a holo-novel which is essentially a screed against the oppression of intelligent holograms, with versions of the crew as the villains. However, the end of the episode implies that maybe the novel, and that holographic rights is the next step in Federation civil law. • 'Emanation' is a timely message about the pitfalls of euthanasia — in very broad stokes. The planet in question in honeycombed with 'hundreds' of assisted suicide centers, to the degree that it is literally their one defining characteristic.

This leaves Ensign Kim (our audience participation character) little to do but get detained and funneled into the mortuary where he awaits certain death. •: Final episode - Paris and Torres' last-minute baby, Miral.

•: Poor Joe Carey in the final season. He reappears after a long absence only to be the last crew member killed before Voyager makes it home a few episodes later. •: In the episode 'The Chute', there's a close-up shot of one of the prisoners who's figured out the secret of the aggression implants where the force field ring surrounding the bottom end of the chute frames the top of his head, appearing as a halo. •: 'Before and After' sees Kes living her entire life backwards. It even foreshadows events in the next season (specifically 'Year of Hell'), though that episode went differently since Kes was no longer on the ship. •: In 'Worst Case Scenario' Seska has programmed the holodeck to become a involving the Voyager crew; when Holodeck-Janeway fires her compression phaser rifle at Seska, it. Later Seska forces Tuvok to, but the same thing happens to her as Tuvok sabotaged his rifle before handing it over.

•: Kes is this. While normally soft-spoken and gentle, when an alien tries to take over her body, she tears his mind to pieces while giving him a. •: Par for the course for any Trek series, although Voyager is notable being 70,000 light years away from any Federation back-up and having only its crew to rely on.

By season 2 Voyager already has a formidable reputation for asskicking among various Delta Quadrant civilizations (albeit partially due to the Kazon spreading ). •: 'Timeless' sees a future where only Chakotay and Harry Kim are left alive after an accident while testing the new slipstream drive. Half the episode takes place the day of the accident, and the other half is fifteen years later, as Harry, with Chakotay in tow, tries to fix his mistake. • The series finale 'Endgame' is a milder version.

Voyager makes it home after 22 years, but with Seven of Nine and Chakotay dead, and Tuvok put into an institution for mental instability. Now-Admiral Janeway refuses to live with the loss of a few close friends like this, and obtains a temporal rift projector from a Klingon, installs it onto her shuttlecraft, and travels back in time to Voyager in the 7th year of their journey so they can get home quicker and with less casualties. •: Q drops his son off with Voyager and he acts irresponsibly. Q turns his son into an amoeba for a minute or so to show him where he's likely to end up if he doesn't get his act together. •: For obvious reasons the EMH was designed without genitals; a throwaway line in Message in a Bottle implies that at some point the Doctor made an addition to his program. It is very likely that this also applies to the Ocampa, as we see Kes in Before and After giving birth out of a sack on her back and we learn in Elogium that conception occurs only after a male touches the female's palms after they begin to secrete some kind of yellow mucus. •: In the premiere episode, 'Caretaker,' Neelix was over-the-moon when he went to Voyager for the first time and was offered a bath by Tuvok.

Water was scarce in that region of the Delta Quadrant, the idea of immersing himself in water to get clean was something completely foreign to Neelix. Captain Janeway was also known to have a bathtub in personal quarters on Voyager and when she and Chakotay were stuck on a planet they dubbed New Earth with an illness that only stayed dormant on that planet without the cure, Chakotay built her one. •: • 'Counterpoint': Voyager is transporting telepaths through Devore space, where telepaths are automatically arrested, along with those helping them. Kashyk arrives and informs the crew that he knows what they're doing and how they plan to escape. He also says he's defecting and wants to help them avoid a Devore planned for them.

If the crew believes him, then he betray them at a crucial moment. If they turn him away, he turns them in. If they do something to him, his superiors will wonder what happened and come looking for him. He'd win no matter what they did.

Except he was by Janeway, who was prepared for his deception. If he was telling the truth, great, she'd be happy to have him onboard. If he wasn't, she was ready.

• 'Think Tank': Janeway thinks that the Hazari are covering every escape route and the ones that don't appear covered are traps, screwing the ship no matter which path they choose. Then its inverted on the Hazari's employers, who are screwed no matter what they do. • 'Dark Frontier': the Borg wanted Seven of Nine to be severed earlier to develop a human perspective. If the federation hadn't taken the bait, they lose nothing.

In the episode itself, the Borg Queen's plan. If Seven returns to them, they leave Voyager alone. If not, they assimilate Voyager during the mission. If Seven warns Voyager, than the borg recover the transwarp coil that Voyager planned on stealing. •: Amelia Earhart Was Abducted By Space Aliens ('The 37's'). •: The romance between Tom Paris and B'Elanna Torres is every inch this trope. In 'Distant Origin,' in which two aliens observe the two talking.

'Note how the female through the feigned antagonism encourages the male in his attempt to mate.' •: Commander Peter Harkins for Reg Barclay. While he is exasperated with Barclay's zaniness, he still supports his ideas, shields him from the wrath of a pissed-off Admiral Paris, and even tries to help him socialize off-base, something that Barclay admits he has a hard time with. Compare this with Will Riker and Geordi La Forge's initial jerkassery towards Barclay back when he first joined the Enterprise crew. •: • Harry Kim. A sweet,, young man who, when pushed, can be handy in a prison fight ('The Chute'), single-handedly fuck up the plans of the Hirogen, and nuke an entire Borg sphere without trying.

He also turns out to be an effective in 'Non Sequitur' and 'Timeless,' where Harry obliterates an entire timeline to keep his friends on their journey home. • Neelix in some episodes, particularly 'Repentance'. He may seem like your average annoying or fun-loving, but do not mistake him for an idiot. • Kes is a very nice, polite young woman. She's also an immensely powerful psychic that can boil your blood by accident, and when someone takes over her body, she messes with him for several minutes of perceived time, only for him to wake up and realize that maybe a second passed. •: Maje Culluh & Seska for the first two seasons, the Borg Queen for the last few.

•: In one episode, Tom and B'Elanna participate in a race with the Delta Flyer. •: • The ship itself has bio-neural gelpacks that allow the computer to 'think' more flexibly and operate faster. (The downside being that they could also be infected with viruses and bacteria.) It's one of the things that marks Voyager out as one of Starfleet's most advanced ships. • Species 8472 of has 'bioships' which resist Borg assimilation, are vastly superior to Borg cubes, and can destroy a planet by linking together. The Borg started the war with them because they wanted 8472's capabilities so bad. •: Kes (nine year lifespan, telepathy, gives birth from a sac on her back, and when she reaches sexual maturity you rub her feet until her tongue swells up), (tripedal, five sexes, densely-coded DNA, emits a biogenic field that blocks scanning, and has an immune system that can stop Borg nanoprobes). But nothing tops the in 'Nothing Human'.

The can't understand its language, the tricorder can't comprehend its biology, it controls a spaceship via biochemical secretions, can leap through a forcefield in a single bound, and uses B'Elanna Torres as an emergency life-support system. •: Species 8472 has. •: In 'The Fight', Chakotay fights a being from a region of chaotic space; the being is wearing a boxing hoodie that hides his face, when the alien is finally revealed, he has no face, only a starfield. •: In the episode 'Relativity', When Seven of Nine is chasing a saboteur who teleports by activating his tricorder, she manages a shot that flips it out of his hand and away, forcing him to run instead of teleport. •: The Caretaker, and to a lesser extent his mate Suspiria. While he feels a sense of duty to care for the Ocampa after his species' intergalactic exploration devastated their homeworld, he does so by turning them into a docile childlike people utterly dependent on him.

When he begins to die, he proceeds to abduct, rape and ultimately kill sentient beings from elsewhere in the galaxy in his desperate attempt to produce an offspring to continue his duties, as Suspiria has long since left him. Suspiria took a group of Ocampa with her when she departed, and instead trained them to develop their great psychic potential. This made her Ocampa into racial supremacists, although she may not have seen this as a problem since her long-term goal was to enable them to join her in the subspace domain she called 'Exosia' rather than interact with other species in the galaxy or return to their homeworld. Both of them had very alien moral systems by Federation standards. For the series as the whole; the first and last episodes both end with 'Set a course, for home.'

Season 5's 'Drone' is also framed with Seven looking into a mirror. •: The best scenes in 'Basics' those between the Doctor and Suder, where the former has to try and convince the Betazoid that killing the Kazon isn’t murder but self-defense and Suder has to confront his demons. •: • The holographic Doctor's final name Joe in Admiral Janeway's perceived in 'End Game'.

Averted when Elderly Janeway posthumously made for a Good Future. • When we find out Lieutenant Barclay from was responsible for the EMH program's interpersonal skills. • In 'The Fight,' Chakotay cuts his forehead in a holodeck boxing simulation and the EMH sarcastically refers to him as, 'Chakotay, the Maquis Mauler.' Later when he's having the chaotic boxing ring hallucination, guess what nickname is written on the back of his robe? •: • 'Tattoo': The episode is supposed to be about how wonderful Native American culture is only to reveal that the Native Americans owe everything they are to alien intervention. • 'Remember' and 'Memorial.' It is important to learn about the tragedies of the past so that they never happen again.

And the best way to do this is to forcibly implant memories of those tragedies into unknowing people who won't even stick around to make a difference. • 'Nothing Human': B'Elanna displays racial prejudice against a holographic Cardassian physician. The Doctor objects to this racism, and the episode seems to be building toward an Aesop opposing bigotry. Until it is revealed that the Cardassian doctor, Crell Moset, is actually a war criminal. The episode then turns into a debate on medical ethics, and the racism issue is all but forgotten.

The Star Trek franchise is normally very firm in its opposition to bigotry, but this episode actually seemed to imply that the prejudiced characters were right. B'Elanna even acts like the discovery of Moset's war crimes vindicates her earlier hostility toward him.

When she says that she had 'a bad feeling' about the Cardassian as soon as she saw him, nobody calls her out on the fact that her 'bad feeling' was the product of nothing more than her own racial prejudice. • 'Friendship One' has Janeway lament the death of Carey, noting that exploration can't justify the loss of even one life. Which is fine. Except TNG made a big point that exploring the unknown always carries risk, one you're taking by choosing to do it. •: A variation occurs with Doctor Zimmerman in 'Life-Line'. The Federation eventually came to regard the EMH program as a joke due to their poor bedside manner, writing them off in the end and repurposing the entire line into miners (), leaving Zimmerman bitter and disillusioned that his greatest creation is now serving as manual labour, all sharing his face. Naturally he's not too happy when The Doctor shows up to attempt to treat him.

•: 'Fury,' a one-shot return of Kes in season 6. •: The Krenim Impereium is one big Chinese finger trap.

Chakotay, acting under Annorax's guidance, remembers that Janeway made a small course correction to dodge a comet, causing them to detour into Krenim space. When Chakotay runs a simulation of what would happen if they erased that comet, the harmonious line graph on the viewscreen turns into a mess of wadded-up spaghetti.

'Congratulations, you almost wiped out eight thousand civilizations.' ('Year of Hell'). Janeway: No thanks, I've had enough. One more cup, and I'll jump to warp.

•: • The ending of 'Ex Post Facto' is eerily reminiscent of the ending of • In the episode 'Author, Author', the Doctor wrote a holonovel with barely-disguised copies of his fellow crew members as the villains of the story. As a homage to the Mirror Universe, Tuvok's actor Tim Russ for the occasion. • VOY differs from the other Trek series in that it lacks a proper episode. However, 'Author, Author' and 'Living Witness' are functionally no different: there is constant and comical back-biting amongst the crew, the tone is anarchic (how does the Warship Voyager keep aloft with these schmucks onboard?), and Mirror!Janeway carpets her ready room with guns. Picardo, as the android version of the EMH, twirls around to reveal robo-eyes and wires sprouting from his bald dome; doubtless this is a wink at Stewart's in 'Best of Both Worlds'.

• In 'Year of Hell', Torres and Kim play a game of historical 'Guess Who?' , with Torres failing to name the famous shuttle from.

Seven, who has firsthand knowledge of the incident from the Borg archives, reveals that nobody in Starfleet is even aware of Picard and the Borg Queen's meddling. • The adolescent Q immediately dons a miniature Captain's uniform, gets into arguments with the bartender, and hurls Borg cubes at Voyager. Like father, like son! • One episode calls all the way back to Undiscovered Country. In the movie, Bones can't save Gorkon because he didn't know his anatomy. While attempting to design a new EMH in the show, Harry mentions that Voyager's medical library includes 'Comparative Alien Physiology' by Leonard McCoy.

Apparently Bones decided he didn't want something like that happening again. •: The Doctor does this in 'Life-Line' to his creator. Doctor Zimmerman constantly belittles him and dismisses his program as a failed experiment, eventually getting furious and demanding to know why the Doctor is trying to.
