    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      This was originally supposed to be the third season finale. There were some minor rewrites, with many of Kes's lines given to Seven of Nine.
    • Goofs
      In Before and After (1997), the time-jumping Kes warns Janeway and the crew about a forthcoming encounter with the Krenim Imperium, and the powerful weapons they have. Janeway acknowledges this and determines they will avoid conflict with the Krenim when the time comes; however, when Voyager finally reaches Krenim space, Janeway and the crew act as if Kes's warning was never even made.
    • Quotes

      The Doctor: [inserting a speech at the inauguration of the Astrometrics lab] Who would have thought that this eclectic group of voyagers could actually become a family? Starfleet, Maquis, Klingon, Talaxian, hologram, Borg - even Mr. Paris.

    9/10
    Excellent in spite of the colossal plot hole
    As everyone except the show writers has noticed, Kes had warned them about the Krenim, and no one remembers it - it is a continuous problem that events of past episodes often are not reflected in the next ones, but this is the proverbial elephant in the room. The episode "Before and After" specifically foreshadowed the events here, yet it is like it never happened (huh...).

    Nonetheless, if you forget this glaring error, the episode is great, both in its depiction of a ravaged Voyager and for introducing a villain who appears to have some depth and character - as well as a megalomania that will obviously be his undoing.
