        I always assumed that by the time of Voyager, replicator technology was advanced enough that they could perform any repairs necessary as long as they had enough power.

        That said, I think Voyager would have been a better show if the whole show was done the way Enterprise handled the Delphic Expanse arc. Voyager getting more and more damaged as time passes would have really hit the “far from home” vibe.

          I presumed this explained why Voyager was always on replicator rations and grew their own food— because every last iota of power went to replicating the huge amounts of replacement parts they needed due to all the damage they constantly took each episode.

        It could also be a Tuvix reference, seeing how the hand is patched together

      What does this make Discovery then, where the universe is ending in a different way every season?
