The previews to this episode promised
alot, I was not dissapointed. In this episode, the USS Voyager developed
a new(and highly experimental) slip-stream drive. But just a few
parsecs from Federation space something went wrong. Voyager was flung
from the slip-stream and crashed on a planet, barried beneath ice.
Chakotay and Kim(who blames himself for the incident) were flrying lead
in the Delta Flyer(relaying slip-stream data back to Voyager), they rode
the slip-stream back to the Federation. Fifteen years later they
found Voyager and attempted to send a warning to Seven of Nine(in the past).
But Captain Geordi Laforge didn't intend to let them succeed.
I enjoyed this episode, especially the part when
they boarded the frozen Voyager. The writers did a great job with
this episode, however it was another one of those where we sit there trying
to figure out temporal mechanics. The message from Harry Kim to Harry
Kim was a good idea, it made the episode complete.
Stardock Alpha rating: 8.9
