Star Trek VGR Episode 76 - Year of Hell Part 1

"Voyager creates a new Astrometrics lab, which maps a new course that brings them into contact with a Krenim temporal ship that can erase things from history."

It's an interesting "weapon" for sure ... one that shoots a beam that erases history. So the Krenim had initially built this ship to erase histories in order to benefit their race. Unfortunately, it ended up causing a plague on their world that killed millions. The weapon's creator (Kurtwood Smith) has been trying to get his people back (including his family) by changing more history. Voyager shows up, he sees it as a threat and tries to remove the ship from the timeline. Voyager repels the attack but is gravely damaged. Tuvok is burned and Chakotay and Paris are captured. Janeway tells all crewmembers that they have the option to leave the ship in shuttlecrafts and find their own ways home. So far, it seems nothing like Kes's vision of the Year of Hell. Plus they have used Kurtwood Smith in a Star Trek movie, DS9 and Voyager ... all as different characters! I hate that.

76 down 96 to go
