Insert all your tired 2025 jokes here because after the last nine months, we’re pretty much out as this episode, we go “All-Voyager, All the Time” with a slate of episodes concerning “The Year of Hell,” one of Voyager’s more infamous wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey moments.
In “Before and After,” we see the writers try and tease out what never comes to pass, as a time-displaced Kes discovers something horrifying: Harry Kim married her two-year old daughter! Then we go into two-part territory as we enter “The Year of Hell” and a lot of bad things happen to Voyager while Kurtwood Smith makes us ask “Is Annorax Star Trek’s best villain?” But seriously… Harry Kim married a two year old and I don’t care if she’s a short lived alien race, that’s real weird, especially considering who the father is!
Episodes Discussed: Before and After (08:29), Year of Hell Parts 1 and 2 (38:25)
Talking Points Include: Miles has a quota of Ed Gein jokes per year. Weird Al, The Devils, One Piece, Harry Kim marrying a 2 year old, Tom Paris asking for time off to have sex, the Voyager Homecoming comic, Miles requests Charlie do a Planet Wales for his next Star Trek RPG campaign, Annorax might be the best Star Trek villain, Miles doesn’t platinum video games, Kurtwood Smith might play Trek’s best villain, Chakotay actually getting to do something, Year of Hell failed so that Battlestar Galactica could soar, would it have worked as a year long season? How sometimes, compromises and failures can make a great TV show, probably for the best Tuvok didn’t lose a leg, does Harry ever get a promotion? History changing stories usually have one set ending and the much needed kayfabe of ongoing media.
