    Between blowing up a Borg transwarp conduit, averting an Omega catastrophe, and surviving an absurd lost in deep space scenario, is there anything in the Voyager mission log that wouldn’t get chalked up to, “Well you were on your own and had to make some difficult choices.”

    Their botched alliance with the Kazon, giving holographic technology to the Hirogen, and the whole Tuvix episode would likely be footnotes during her debrief. They’d probably spend more time asking questions about meeting Amelia Earhart, proving that a graviton ellipse swallowed the Aries VI orbiter, and wanting to know more about… am I reading this correctly? A space pitcher plant?

    You have to imagine her initial encounter with the Caretaker would get the most interrogation. In hindsight would a Federation council agree with her decision to blow up the caretaker’s array, or would Starfleet captains get sent some additional footnotes to the prime directive about not stranding your crew seventy years away from home?

      Someone should actually make a spreadsheet from every episode evaluating every single decision she made, and try to do some honest ethical calculus on it. I think that would be an awesome post and worthy of some serious discussion here.

        I want someone more talented than me to write an in universe biography.

        As if a biographer interviewed the crew and Janeway. Read logs etc.

        It could include details about her early life, the time on Voyager, then afterwards. Court cases, and how revelations came out.

        A whole life biography of Janeway is a standalone book.

      Or maybe they’ll add a timed detonation mode to future torpedoes so they can jump and then blow up the array.

    It’s weird that this “Ensign Kim” would forget to refill the coffee pot so many times, and also weird that it makes it into the Captain’s log each time.

        Faster tho is just fine because in the last episode of TNG the future enterprise went warp 13. Which, obviously, is why it had 3 nacelles

        Except The Doctor was able to reverse it.

        They could have traveled home, turned into lizards, have it reversed, be home YEARS early.

        And even if it was considered too risky once they get home I’m sure someone, with all of Starfleet behind them, will find a good use for the technology.

      Biggest takeaway from the entire fiasco … hire more Captains with a caffeine addiction

      Caffeine addiction is so powerful, it will drive normal human beings to travel right across the galaxy with a moderate ship, skeleton crew, murder, mayhem and lots of motivation.

      Coffee … it not only makes the world go round, it brings the galaxy within our grasp

        Now that I think about it, something that hasn’t been brought up in the Tuvix arguments is that Tuvok and Neelix remember being Tuvix. There’s continuity of consciousness continuing from Tuvix, which makes the whole thing even more complicated.

      Janeway drove a Temporal Captain to the point of trying to murder the entire Voyager ship.

      I don’t know what sort of adventures the Time Cops engage in, but certainly that is a rather unique event.

        To be fair, he tried to destory them because he found voyager in the destruction. So he decided, based on that alone, to go back in time and destory voyager. Genius.

    Please, I need to find a Voyager episode. The ship drifting in some kind of void/complete darkness (I think they’re running away or hiding from something too).

        It’s actually “Night.” It’s the first episode where they encounter the Malon. There are peaceful aliens living in the darkness, but the Malon’s dumping of radioactive waste in their territory is killing them, so they attack Voyager thinking they’re like the others.

        The Void is the one where they get trapped in a little pocket universe with some other ships and can’t figure out how to escape, while the pocket dimension is closing in on itself threatening to destroy everyone trapped inside.

    The biggest issue will be how she manufactured all those brand new shuttlecraft since they were constantly getting destroyed

      Industrial replicators for engineering components. Would seem basic for any long range explorer class ship.

      In Prodigy, the ship has a dedicated vehicle replicator that can make all terrain vehicles and shuttles.
