Episode Summary & Review

Summary

Stardate: 52081.2 – Voyager enters a desolate expanse of space where no stars are visible and will take two years to cross. The lack of starlight causes morale issues with the crew, and Janeway questions the choices that stranded her crew in the Delta Quadrant so far from home. They encounter two mysterious alien races who may be at war with each other. Janeway comes to the aid of one of them.

Our Take

Very good — not the series’ peak, but an hour that reminds you why Star Trek: Voyager works.
