Episode Summary & Review

Summary

Stardate: 49011. Ensign Harry Kim arises one morning to find he is back in San Francisco on Earth with his girlfriend, Libby. In this alternate reality, Starfleet records show he never served aboard Voyager, which Starfleet considers lost. Instead, Kim works in Starship Design at Starfleet Headquarters. To help him restore reality, he enlists the help of a shady figure in France named Tom Paris, who has no idea who Harry is.

Our Take

A solid what-if episode that leans on Garrett Wang to carry the emotional weight, and he mostly does. The alternate San Francisco looks surprisingly good for a budget show, and the Paris subplot gives it some spark. It drags a bit in the middle when Harry keeps insisting he’s from another reality, but the ending lands well enough to make it worth your time.
