Yes. If they were going to do a lost in space show anyway, then resolving that story would've been a really good tie in. I never liked the Maqui angle, nor many of Voyager's characters, & I'd have preferred Madge Sinclair as the featured starship captain over Kate Mulgrew incalculably.
I've never even watched the whole show, all the way through, because of her & her character. Occasionally I'll watch an episode after folks discuss it, like Equinox in here. Just watched it. Not a terrible episode, a little stale given the premise, but what kills it? as usual, Janeway sucks, & Mulgrew is kind of annoying in her portrayal, imho.
Unfortunately, the notion of Madge Sinclair being a featured captain at the time Voyager was released is unrealistic, as she passed away from Leukemia that very year. Interestingly enough. I have a theory of what happened to Captain Silva La Forge... & it has something to do with this...

.... the ill fate of the USS Saratoga, & her unnamed captain, in Star Trek: The Voyage Home... Perhaps the same person, 84 years earlier![]()
Madge Sinclair was a fine actress many people from my generation will remember her as Queen Sarabi (Simbas mom) on The Lion King
