From her deathpoint with near-total memory loss, Kes keeps getting sent earlier in time, and must learn things backward and try to make progress with earlier and earlier forms of the crew. Really a great episode. It only falls apart a bit at the end, with her regressing to a point at least as far back as conception before somehow the treatment in the series' present catches up. Then the explanation that she's regained her memories so she can go on with her life as normal... but she's really the remnant of a future Kes. Why only fully regain the memories up to this point? Reconnecting with the physical memories in the brain in that time period's version of Kes? | 2007-01-05: From her deathpoint with near-total memory loss, Kes keeps getting sent earlier in time, and must learn things backward and try to make progress with earlier and earlier forms of the crew.

Two really good episodes in a row? Is this Voyager? The Doctor is consistently the best thing about the series, so this episode focused on him was enjoyable. He tries to simulate family life on the holodeck; at first with a too-perfect family, and then with a more randomized family that parodies usual family troubles with a Star Trek twist: not only is his son rebelling and taking on "undesirable" traits due to his friends, but they're Klingons and he wants to be a warrior. His reactions to his daughter's accident are quite sad, and grow him as a character. The B-story with the sub-space eddies is almost pointless, except that it gives the Doctor a chance to push his own story forward by getting pissy with Paris. | 2007-01-06: Two really good episodes in a row?
