Star Trek VGR Episode 100 - Timeless

"Fifteen years in the future, Chakotay and Harry Kim attempt to prevent the Voyager from crash-landing on an ice planet."

Captain LaForge, need I say more? I guess I do. So Kim and Chakotay take the Delta Flyer into a slipstream, Voyager follows behind. This, in theory, should bring them significantly closer to home. Unfortunately, things go wrong. Fast-forward 15 years. Kim and Chakotay find the crashed remains of Voyager on a snow planet. They discover 7's body as well as the Doctor (whom they take with them). Chakotay and Kim have been shunned by Starfleet and are now space outlaws. Soon they are followed by a Starship and are confronted by Captain LaForge! Very cool. He says that Starfleet is aware that Kim and Chakotay are trying to alter the past in order to save Voyager. He warns them of the dangers.

Kim does not heed the warning and sends himself a message in the past. The message is received by 7's implant. She suddenly changes calculations before they go into the slipstream. They survive this time and end up 10 years closer to home. Kim then discovers a video message from his future self, to his present self. Crazy. One thing that I enjoy about Voyager is how they keep discovering and inventing new technology along their way. Also the "crash scene" is very well done.

Isn't it weird how everytime a Star Trek crew member dies or a Starship blows up, it opens up some kind of weird time loop?

I would like to see if there is any scientific possibility to that ever happening.
