That whole episode was them being high on alien spores and you cant convince me otherwise

It’s coming up soon on my rewatch and I’m really looking forward to it, Voyager has some bonkers plot lines

Right now I’m knitting voyager and ds9 and it’s just a great era altogether

Maybe he just went to the store to get some milk, because amphibians have no nipples?

Maybe the kids will grow up and appear in a future show

They have made some references.

People who get mad at this episode because "That's not how evolution works!" miss the point of Star Trek.

Chronotons and dilithium crystals also don't exist. The science of Star Trek only exists to facilitate interesting stories, involving character drama and philosophical quandaries.

I mean, it's also not how the warp scale works based on principles shown in previous episodes of Star Trek. It's just all around ridiculous.

It's just bad writing. They could literally all come back to earth, get the same injection Tom and Janeway had and in a couple of days they would be back to Earth. That is without considering that warp 10 was a side project of a lone helmmen stranted on the other side of the galaxy, just think what the best federation scientists would do with the appropriate reaources, in a couple of years they would eliminate any adverse effect.

You can't just drop one of the most relevant scientific breakthrough of the century as a story for a single episode and then completely forget about it.

Tom Paris was able to build this in the Delta Quadrant! With a box of scraps!
