(First watched 2007-02-19) Not bad. Mysterious problem (as always) requiring some subterfuge by the Doctor and Seven to figure anything out was interesting. The visuals of the out-of-phase devices being used to experiment on the crew were great. I loved the scene with Chakotay and Neelix trying to outdo the other with claims of how debilitated they'd become. | (First watched 2007-02-19) Not bad.

(First watched 2007-02-19) So awesome. I feel a reset button press coming on, but so what. Timeship meddling with history, Voyager FINALLY taking visible massive damage in battles that go on for months... big things. Seeing the regular sets in such disrepair, it's clear a lot of work went into this episode. Finally we see the dangers to a ship that's totally isolated. It's the big things like that that make it clear they're totally going to reset things, though. | |||
From a story standpoint it's fun how they used the time changes to make things worse for Voyager. In the original timeline, Kes had given them some information about how they could protect themselves months prior, but after the time shift they no longer had this information. They FINALLY come to the solution on their own after several months and the ship being battered to hell, and almost immediately it causes them to miss the next time shift, which probably would have put them back in good shape with none of it having happened at all. Instead they're left with the ship in shitty shape and time meddlers out to get them. | |||
I like the villains, too. On the one hand they don't seem personally nasty, but they're also literally erasing multiple species from history in order to make the universe in the image they desire. | |||
The [[Star Trek: First Contact|First Contact]] reference is plain good fun. Though it is seeming increasingly goofy that Seven seems to retain knowledge of everything the Borg knew... plain physical reality makes that impossible. | |||
