It really is amazing how quickly the human spirit fades when deprived of light. Even in the most literal, physical way possible.

Casually calling a few borg cubes "a little distraction" 😂

This episode really established the fact that Captain Janeway is everyone's lunatic drunk mom

She actually looked like she was into the bottle at that point. Very angry with herself. Despondent. Great acting.

I was rewatching star trek voyager while going through a depressive episode this scene had me tearing up, its a great scene depression isnt always just the big sad desease it can also just drain you and make you hate yourself

I love the early parts of this episode. It had such potential for something different. If nothing else this should have been the entire episode. No external threat. Just an exploration of the characters.

That's what it was. Janeway is depressed and that's being explored. Same with other characters showing their own ways of being affected.

The thing is, a LOT of the crew probably did think that what Janeway did was wrong to strand the ship in the Delta Quadrant. Of course, in the end, she altered time and uprooted the lives of billions to bring the ship home....that was a strange end to the series.

"We're alive and well, except all those crewmembers that got killed, but never mind!"

Janeway is more of a wartime captain that thrives on the constant battles and dramas. When it gets quiet, then her thoughts catch up with her. She carries a lot of guilt for stranding them in the Delta quadrant and the lives that were lost. That is when she goes a bit crazy. I still think she was the best captain in the circumstances. Chakotay can function in both war and peace time. They should have let him guide her into being a peace time captain.

well she svaed the entier galaxy essentially. no way anyone in the alpha quadrant would have been prepared for specicies 8472.

I wish in this episode she been in depression for 2months and Left the Capatin role to Chakotay and he’s been acting Capatin but he is worried about her and goes to check in on her and they have this talk about what is happening to her but 😢….nah they didn’t do that

Any proper crew would mutiny against this lunatic of a captain

Janeway would have made for a _terrible_ submarine commander 😅

This was a good episode but it probably should have been done 2-3 seasons earlier. Might even have been well positioned as the S1 finale. I love the S2 finale/S3 start so I wouldn't want to move that around. Most people don't like the Kazon but I enjoy them as a start for the series.
