Maybe it is because I watched this toward the tail-end of a recent, long plane ride – but I kinda had trouble following this episode. Maybe that’s a good thing? Maybe the stories should be a little opaque? Or is this just incompetent? Let’s split the difference – all I know is that Kurtwood Smith (yay!) is fucking around with time and destroying all sorts of shit. As a result, the Voyager is a floating piece of junk and all hands are so busy they don’t even have time to fix a lightbulb. It is a different “year of hell” than what Kes predicted last season, but not so different they can use that to their advantage. It ends with an evacuation of pods and some minor chords of doom. What next?
