"A micro-wormhole is discovered that leads to the Alpha Quadrant, and the crew make contact with a Romulan ship on the other side."
Dare I say that this episode was fantastic? DARE I??? It actually was. Voyager discovers a wormhole. They send a probe into it and suddenly the probe is being scanned. They examine this and find out that the scan is coming from the Alpha Quadrant! I mean obviously they will not make it home in episode 7 but still, I was onboard. A communication comes in from the other side and it is a cargo vessel. Janeway explains their predicament but the other Captain thinks they are lying and ends communication. Tuvok figures out that the ship is not a cargo vessel but rather a Romulan science ship.
Later that night Janeway is in her quarters, in her nightgown and looking very nice may I add ... she communicates again with the Romulan Captain. They have a heart to heart and she convinces him that they are Starfleet and truly lost. She asks him to at least relay personal messages to their families. He wants to try and have a face to face communication first, which happens the next morning. Now he believes them.
Torres discovers a way to piggy-back a transporter beam onto their comm beam, meaning that they can all beam back to the Alpha Quadrant. The Romulan says that he is not allowed to let them beam to his ship, but he offers to beam to Voyager first and then maybe he can take them back. They successfully beam him over. So everything is looking great so far. Suddenly Tuvok discovers a big problem. The wormhole is also a time warp, the Romulan commander is from 20 years in the past! They can not follow him back, it would disrupt history. The Romulan is actually a very nice guy and he offers to relay their messages in 20 years. So he beams back to his time. Tuvok then reveals more bad news, the Romulan died four years ago... their messages were most likely never sent.
Subplot is of the Doctor. He has been training Kes to be a medical officer. Kes talks to Janeway about how everyone treats the Doctor like shit. Janeway point out that he is after all just a hologram. Kes argues that he is very real. Janeway meets with the Doctor and sees that he is more human than most people think. In the end, the Doctor asks for a name. I think it ends up being Doctor Funktavius.
