    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Directorial debut of Tim Russ, a.k.a. Tuvok, and the only Voyager episode directed by him.
    • Goofs
      In The Swarm (1996) the doctor had a close call with "death" (i.e. his program was degrading), but here it's proven that he can be backed up, like a flash or DVDR.
    • Quotes

      [in the Doctor's simulation]

      The Doctor: I'll go first, Captain, and draw any fire if need be.

      Vaskan Ambassador Daleth: Your crew is heroic, Captain.

      The Doctor: I just happen to be invulnerable to phaser fire, but I appreciate the compliment.

    The last minute is what Star Trek is all about
    Those who conclude that Revisionist history is always wrong, miss the point.

    What this episode says is the history always has an Epistemological problem. The historical narrative we accept may be right or it may be wrong, and interpretation of events always says more about current times, than historic times.

    We can actually never know the true story of events, and believing in either the traditional story or the Revisionist story is 100% true, is logically absurd. Neither can be known for sure.

    The script has many implausibilities, but the sense of awe and wonder of the now 700 year old doctor setting out alone on a 60,000 light year search gives you that some experience of the mystery and vastness of space that we had in TOS, in the 60s.

    Now, it is likely that there would be contact with the Federation or its descendant in 700 years, so that is a script flaw, but, still, the hope of reconciliation and exploration that was our aspiration 55 years ago was heartwarming and humbling.
