Episode Summary & Review
Summary
Stardate: 50973 The Doctor’s life extension experimental treatment sends Kes out of temporal sync. She begins traveling backward through time from the moment of her death. With each shift, she comes closer to a solution but she also grows months and years younger at a time.
Our Take
A clever premise that mostly pays off, with Kes living her life in reverse and Jennifer Lien doing genuinely good work selling the confusion and grief. The time-jumping structure keeps you paying attention, though the technobabble resolution feels rushed. The glimpses of a future Voyager are the real draw. Solid hour, worth it for fans of the character.
