Original
Air Date: 03/31/99
A Torres
story. Voyager encounters another Malon garbage scow that is
damaged and is about to blow-- while it's cargo waste, if
destroyed, threatens to destroy an entire sector. It's
somewhat unusual that the Malon would be making an appearance
again given Voyager's quantum slipstream leap in
"Timeless".

Original
air date: 04/7/99
A Doctor/Seven
episode, in which the Doctor falls in love with Seven of Nine
and wants to have a relationship with her. Jeri Ryan describes
the episode as a cute "Pygmalion thing". Pygmalion
is a reference to a movie/musical in which a man creates the
"perfect woman" and then falls in love with her.

A Janeway
show, dealing with her family and her past. Also apparently
deals with how history affects the present. Takes place around
the year 2000. The regular crew is not in it much-- it deals
mostly with Janeway's relatives. (And Janeway?)

Original
air date: 04/21/99
Teaser:
Takes
place at Utopia Planitia shipyards just before Voyager's
mission. Capt. Janeway comes aboard Voyager and tours it with
an Admiral as it is under going final preparations for its
mission. While touring the ship she runs into an ensign who is
7 of 9 and she's in regular Starfleet uniform without her
cybernetic implants.
Act 1: Seven upon seeing Janeway
ducks into a the Briefing Room. She is in contact with Starfleet
crew from the future (Lt. Ducane of the Relativity). They are in
search of a temporal disruptor. She reports that so far she
cannot find it. Soon Janeway and the Admiral enter into the
briefing room and asks 7 what she thought of the Briefing room.
7, who is trying to avoid contact with Janeway, replies that it
is an efficient design. Seven leaves as she tries to avoid any
further contact with 7 of 9. Janeway and the Admiral continue
the tour which includes visiting the Doctor in his
pre-warm-type-of-guy days in the Delta quadrant. Meanwhile 7 is
still trying to find the temporal disruptor runs into Lt. Carey.
He basically tries to pick her up while she's working. He says
that he would see her later and she responds
"Unlikely." In this scene she gives her name as Anna
Jameson. & moves off into a Jefferies tube where she locates
a temporal signature on deck 4 section 39. She removes panel and
with her Borg implants sees the temporal disruptor. She contacts
Ducane and informs him that she's found it but she can't
deactivate it as it is out of temporal phase. She's in the wrong
timeframe. They know where the weapon is but not when it was
placed there. Meanwhile Carey detects an offline EPS relay and
Janeway and the Admiral goes to investigate. through the same
Jefferies tube that 7 is in. The hatch is locked. Janeway and
the Admiral realize that there must be an intruder when they
detect a chronoton flux of .003 from inside the tube and they go
on security alert. 7 realizes that they have detected her but
Relativity can't beam her out as she's too close to the weapon.
The Capt of the Relativity (Capt. Braxton, the same from
"Future's End" then orders Ducane to beam her out
despite his warning that her bionetic implants can be damaged
and kill her. Her does it just as Janeway and the Admiral open
the tube hatch from another location. 7 materializes on the
Relativity but then collapses and dies because of the damage to
her implants.
Act 2: Braxton decides to
"recruit" 7 again from the time line. Ducane warns
that this could harm her that she could suffer temporal
psychosis or neural damage. Braxton replies that she and and all
on Voyager will be destroyed if they don't. They decide to go
back to the time just before Voyager is destroyed by the
disruptor. The scene now switches to the present. Paris
challenges 7 to a game of ping pong along with Kim and Torres.
Meanwhile Janeway and a few members of the crew are coming down
with a case of space sickness (maybe related to the temporal
disruptor). Later during the ping pong game, the ball
mysteriously freezes in mid-flight. there's a mystery to be
investigates. This leads to the discovery that Voyager is
fracturing in time and space because of temporal distortions.
The cause is unknown but it is coming from deck 4 section 39
(the same location as in act 1). Janeway orders 7 and Torres to
investigate while Tuvok tries to reinforce the force fields to
keep Voyager together. Torres and 7 locates the disruptor but
the crew can't beam it off the ship. Just then the hull starts
to demolecularize and part of the ship "explodes" in a
temporal explosion. Kim detects the chronoton flux of .003 just
as Ducane and a couple of his men beam aboard Voyager to look
for 7. Meanwhile 7 and Torres try to escape the time distortions
that are engulfing the ship when Torres vanishes because of the
temporal effects of the disruptor. Janeway then realizes that
the chronoton flux is exactly the same that she detected at the
shipyard 5 years ago and knows that it's not a coincidence. the
effect becomes too much and Janeway orders abandon ship. The
ship is destroyed just as Ducane and his men find 7 and
transport her off Voyager.
Act 3: Braxton explains to 7
where she is (29th Century on board the Fed. time ship
Relativity) and why he needs her (to use her implants to locate
and destroy the device). He also reveals to her that she had
been recruited twice before and that she had met with
"accidents." They now know when the temporal disruptor
was placed...during a battle with the Kazon. The saboteur
infiltrated Voyager during the battle while the shields were
down and the internal sensors were off line and placed the
disruptor. Braxton then orders Ducane to prepare her for the
mission and to educate her about different time paradoxes
(including a Dali Paradox, the Pogo Paradox (7 talks about the
example of this when the Enterprise goes back to stop the Borg
from interfering with Zephram Cochran's flight in "First
Contact.") After a final briefing, Braxton transports her
in a Starfleet uniform and with her implants hidden to Voyager
while the ship is under attack by the Kazon.
Act 4: Voyager is under attack by
the Kazon and there is much confusion all around as 7 heads to
engineering and to the location of the disruptor. Kim detects
the chronoton flux of .003 as 7 is beamed aboard. Janeway
remembers when she saw that reading last, two years ago in
dry-dock. Meanwhile, 7 doesn't find the temporal disruptor nor
the saboteur but she lays a trap in the location that it's
supposed to be. Janeway orders a force field around the area
that 7 is located. Seven knows she's been detected and she's
been cut off from Ducane and the Relativity who can't get
through to her. Janeway and security locate 7 and immediately
recognizes her as the ensign who called the briefing room
efficient. Janeway is very skeptical of 7's explanation. Ducane
and Braxton are listening in on the conversation hoping that 7
would not reveal who and what she is. This would corrupt the
time line. Tuvok realizes that she's Borg. Finally 7 tells the
entire truth about how she got there. At the same time alarms go
off on Relativity indicating that the time-line is corrupt
because of what 7 had said. Also the trap that 7 had set is
sprung. 7 and Janeway go to investigate and discover that it's
and aged Capt. Braxton that has set the disruptor.
Act 5:
Capt. Braxton is suffering from temporal psychosis and he blames
Capt. Janeway for it. that is why he is sabotaging Voyager. 7
tries to stop him but Braxton activates the disruptor and
disappears. Relativity tracks the older Braxton to Utopia
Planitia and Relativity sends 7 after him despite the risk to
her life of multiple time transports. 7 chases Braxton to
Voyager at Utopia Planitia right past Janeway and the Admiral.
All this while Relativity is tracking multiple time line
corruptions as 7 is chasing the older Braxton. The older Braxton
time jumps again to present day Voyager. The younger Braxton
orders 7 to jump to that time despite that she's suffering from
temporal narcosis. The younger Braxton is starting to get
rattled by all the time jumps and the damage to the time line. 7
and the older Braxton run through the earlier ping-pong game
getting everyone's attention including the present day 7. At
this point time traveling 7 is dying because of the time
shifting she going through. Time traveling 7 explains the
situation to her present day counter part and dies. The younger
Braxton decides that Relativity must intervene directly because
of all the damage to the time line and to the objections of
Ducane who is beginning to have deep misgivings about Capt.
Braxton's mental state. Meanwhile Paris and Kim are chasing the
older Braxton to the bridge. Janeway recognizes him. The older
Braxton accuses Janeway of being a threat to the timeline as 7
enters the bridge with a 29th Century phaser. At this point
Relativity appears from a temporal rift and Capt. Braxton hails
Voyager. The older Braxton tries to convince his younger self to
join him in destroying Voyager. Ducane then arrests the younger
Braxton for crimes that he will commit. The conflict is
resolved. Later Ducane reveals that he will take both Braxton's
back to the 29th Century to face the problems he had created.
Relativity leaves but not before Janeway asks if they would ever
get back to Earth...he reveals nothing. The episode ends with
Janeway and 7 trying to figure out a time paradox which drives
them nuts.

Warhead |
|
Original
air date: 04/28/99
Voyager runs into another federation ship that was also pulled
to the Delta quad by the Caretaker. However, it is a science
vessel with far fewer people on board, and they have basically
thrown the Prime Directive out the window in order to find
anyway possible to get home. Supposedly, they have learned
some way to harness energy from a previously unseen alien race
to power their ship to speed them home, however the process
kills the aliens - but the science vessel crew doesn't care.
The crew apparently removed the docs ethical sub-routines so
that he would figure out a way to suck the juice out of the
aliens. At some point the evil doc gets switched with the good
doc, but nobody knows it, and that is the basis of episode
#25, Warhead.

The Equinox is on the run from
the aliens who are
appearing on the ship through fissures. The Equinox encountered the

B'Elanna's boyfriend at the academy and gave her the nickname BLT.
Tom becomes jealous of Burke.
- A cliffhanger that starts
filming Wednesday, March 10.
NEW
ALIENS CONFIRMED - NOT SPECIES 8472 IN FINALE!
In the finale, the aliens which had
been talked about in the previous episode Warhead show up, rather
pissed off, and lead us into the cliffhanger for the season.

Behind the Scenes (Article from TrekWeb.COM) |
|
Reports are
surfacing which say that after this season Ken Biller is
"gone" to work on other things and Ron Moore was asked
to transfer to Voyager - a move which Ron has denied online for
months. But rumors place a Ron Moore/Voyager deal already in
motion. Status of others (Bryan Fuller, Joe Menisci,
Rene Echevarria (DS9) is still to be determined (except Brannon
Braga and Michael Taylor who will remain for sure).
UPDATE -
Friday, April 9, 1999, 3:45 PM EDT
I had the
opportunity to speak with Brannon Braga (executive producer,
Star Trek: Voyager) about the rumored changes in the writing
staff today. Although he did not want to make any comment on the
record, I can say that he conceded that some changes are in
store for Voyager's writing staff. What exactly the nature of
those changes are at this point, he is not able to make any
comment.
However, I have
received some more reports today (in response to the original
report) that confirm the Ron Moore transfer as well as hint at
Rene Echevarria (DS9) also joining the staff next year.
Regarding Menosky and Fuller, decisions have yet to be made.
