Instead he is engaged to his girlfriend Libby and about to unveil a new design for a Starfleet runabout. Since he doesn't remember anything about the design, he complains of feeling ill and takes his leave the meeting. After accessing the Starfleet database about Voyager, Kim goes to Marseilles to ask Tom Paris, who also apparently did not join the Voyager crew, for his help. Paris refuses, and when Kim returns home, he is questioned by Starfleet for his unauthorized look at Starfleet's records of Voyager. Kim finds out from Cosimo, an alien supposed to look after him, that his shuttle craft intersected a time stream that caused him to switch into a reality of his life had he never joined the Voyager crew.

Goofs

The entire time Ensign Kim is running away from security, he has his communicator badge on and a security anklet. They should be able to lock on to either and beam him into a prison cell. In addition, there would be no need for security forces to respond at all. Simply add a program that call for beam out to a secure location as soon as the anklet is tampered with.

User Reviews

Sly message to fans in this episode?

At the time this episode first aired, Star Trek fans were highly critical of Voyager. And they had plenty of good reasons.

I suspect the producers, et. al., knew about this and gave the fans as direct a response as they could in this quote from Cosimo in the episode: "We exist in what you would call a temporal inversion fold in the space time continuum. It's not necessary to understand. It only matters that there was an accident. Your shuttle intersected one of our time streams and, BOOM, a few things were altered as a result of the accident. History and events were scrambled a bit, and you ended up here."

The second and third sentences tell the story. It's as if the producers were saying to the fans, "Don't try to make sense of everything we do. Just go with it and enjoy the show." Pretty clever, if that's what Rick Berperson and company were trying to do.
