The Future's End Season Arc - An Alternate Continuity

[USS Fardell]

The Future’s End Season Arc

Instead of in the middle of the 3rd season it is the entire 4th Season.
The absence of the 2 parter in the middle of the 3rd season changes the layout of the 3rd season a bit...

Warlord

Before and After

Now become 2 parters.

The season finale of the 3rd season is the beginning of the Future's End situation, with Captain Braxton showing up, and chasing Voyager for a while before he catches up and confronts them, with the result of him ending up in the 1960's and Voyager in the 1990's

15th episode: Isis rescues Tuvok and Robertson from Chronowerx and takes them to a backup base. Voyager attempts to relieve the Chronowerx siege of Gary Seven's main base, with the help of Seven, Lincoln, Paris and the EMH.

16th episode: Isis, Tuvok and Robertson help Voyager rescue Seven, Lincoln, Paris and the EMH from the Chronowerx besieged Aegis main Earth base, which then self destructs.

17th episode: Leaving Isis in charge of the backup base, Gary Seven joins Voyager, which hides on the side of the Moon facing away from Earth, to discuss with the senior officers about what to do with the Timeship.

18th episode: The Vulcan ship gains approval to intervene in the matter with Chronowerx. They journey to Earth with the shuttle.

19th episode: Gary Seven oversees the retrofit of Voyager with Aegis technology that will allow them to confront Chronowerx, and take the timeship. In the meantime Starling searches for the backup base, and moves to secure his position.

20th episode: Janeway and her senior officers begin to plan with Gary Seven about how to confront Chronowerx. Starling continues searching for the backup base.

21st episode: Janeway, her senior officers, Gary Seven and the Vulcans finalise their plans to confront Chronowerx. Voyager comes out of hiding from behind the moon and confronts Chronowerx. Starling finds the backup base in the meantime leading to the backup base being besieged at the same time as Voyager attacking Chronowerx.

22nd episode: Chronowerx is under attack by Voyager, the Aegis agents and those allied to them. Starling takes over the backup Aegis base and uses its technology to finish his repairs to the timeship. The episode, and the season, ends as Starling launches the timeship.

[USS Fardell]

5th Season:

1st episode: Voyager, the Aegis and their allies continue to fight against Chronowerx and their allies to prevent Starling travelling through time and destroying the Sol system in the 29th Century.
This fight comes down to a wire, and the timeship is destroyed. It is now obvious that the timeline has been changed. (Though viewers that watch Deep Space Nine know that there hasn't been any obvious real change in the 24th Century) Voyager remains in the 20th century at episode's end.

2nd episode: Gary Seven makes preparations to return Voyager to the 24th Century, as the crew help the Aegis agents mop up some of the mess from the fight against Chronowerx. Then an alternate timeship (named Relativity) appears, captained by an alternate (and older) Braxton. Over the objections of Janeway (who wants to return to the 24th Century Federation) and Gary Seven (who still wants to remove the Aegis tech from Voyager and agrees with Janeway about returning to the Federation) the Relativity returns Voyager to the 24th Century Delta Quadrant at the time and place that they had left.


3rd episode: Change of Pace
The Voyager crew take stock of themselves following their return to the Delta Quadrant. Resting after the frantic activity of the last few days in the 20th Century.

4th episode: Ailati
Voyager runs into an empire which wants Voyager's technology for themselves. They have to evade their forces.

5th episode: Clues
After fleeing beyond the Ailati's reach, Voyager's crew find more evidence that they are approaching Borg Space. Janeway asks the crew to start devising defences against them.

6th episode: In the Middle of Nowhere.
Voyager arrives at a space station to take on supplies before running further towards Borg Space. The crew gets involved in some local intrigue...

7th episode: Escape
The Voyager crew resolve the situation they entangled themselves in in the previous episode and go one their way.

8th episode: Refugees
Voyager meets ragtag fleets of ships fleeing the Borg.

9th episode: Unknown Species
Voyager is practically run over by a Borg armada, which then vanishes. They investigate and find that the armada was destroyed by an unknown bioship. Janeway sends an away team onto a barely functional cube to find out what the Borg know about this threat. The away team investigate the bioship and find that it is what it appears to be. They retrieve a Borg data node, and are soon attacked by the pilot of the bioship. The away team is beamed away, but not in time. Harry Kim is struck down by the pilot just before transport.
Investigating the data node the Voyager crew find that the Borg call this beings Species 8472. The EMH reports that alien cells are consuming Harry's body from the inside-out. Voyager sets course for a region of space called the 'Northwest Passage' that is free of Borg activity.

10th episode: Scorpion
Janeway is inspired by a holocharacter to seek an alliance with the Borg against Species 8472. Chakotay tries to dissuade her of this notion, telling her the story of a fox that carries a scorpion across a river that stings the fox because of its nature. He also reminders her of other times that her schemes had backfired on the Voyager crew. Janeway still decides to go ahead with her scheme over Chakotay's objections.
They have trouble finding an intact Borg ship due to the rampaging of Species 8472. They eventually find an intact vessel and Janeway tries to negotiate with the Collective. The Collective tries to assimilate Voyager, but they had prepared for the eventuality and use some of the Aegis and Chronowerx technology to beam all the drones off the ship, and then to enhance the shields. The Borg try to adapt but Janeway tells the Collective that they would delete the data about the enhanced nanoprobes.
The Borg beam Janeway off the ship (having adapted to the shields) and ask her about her terms of alliance.
Then Species 8472 arrives and blows up the nearby Borg planet . The cube that Janeway is on barely escapes with Voyager in tow.

11th episode: Scorpion Part 2
Chakotay tries to free Voyager from the Borg tractor beam before Janeway hails and says that she and the Collective had agreed to an alliance. Tuvok beams over to help Janeway with the Borg. They meet a human drone in the centre of the cube who the collective has chosen as a spokesperson. They begin to work together on a plan to combat Species 8472.
In the meantime there is dissent amongst the Voyager crew about the alliance with the Borg. Chakotay tells them that the alliance is only temporary. There is trouble with some of the former Maquis but most of the crew decide to wait and see what happens.
Janeway, Tuvok and the drone, Seven of Nine, Tertiary Adjunct of Unimatrix 01, were having progress when Species 8472 attacks. There is a brief battle but the Borg have to sacrifice the Cube to protect Voyager.
Janeway, Tuvok, and a number of drones (including Seven of Nine) are beamed into Voyager's Cargo Bay 2 before the cube is destroyed. Janeway is incapacitated, leaving Chakotay in command of Voyager.
After a vision quest Chakotay decides to break the alliance with the Borg (who had demanded that Voyager turn around). He announces to Seven of Nine his intention to drop the Borg and a supply of augmented nanoprobes on a nearby uninhabited planet and to find a different way home. The Borg object but Chakotay is determined.
As Voyager reaches the uninhabited planet the Borg hack into the navigational deflector and open a doorway into the realm of Species 8472. Voyager is drawn in, though not before ejecting all the drones except for Seven of Nine into space.

12th episode: Fluidic Space
Voyager is in the realm of Species 8472. Seven of Nine announces that Species 8472 knows that Voyager is there and that Voyager needs to prepare for the confrontation.
Chakotay orders her to reverse the trick with the deflector. She refuses.
Janeway recovers and confronts Chakotay over his actions. She decides to prepare Voyager for the altercation with Species 8472.
Voyager is prepared for the confrontation, being enhanced with Borg technology (and technology that the Borg had assimilated). Nanoprobe weapons included. The episode ends as Bioships approach Voyager.

13th episode: Confrontations
Voyager battles against the 8472 bioships using the nanoprobe weapons. Several of the Bioships are destroyed. Janeway then tries to negotiate with them...
The 8472 decide to stop their attacks on the Borg if the Borg agree to stop. They say that they can adapt to the nanoprobe weapons eventually and that the Collective is loosing. Seven of Nine agrees.
Shortly after this she returns Voyager to the Delta Quadrant. The Collective then announces through her that Voyager will be assimilated. The Collective then takes control of Voyager's computers and takes the ship towards a Borg planet.
Thus ensues a battle inside Voyager's computer systems between the Collective versus Voyager's crew, including the EMH. The result of this is Seven of Nine's connection to the Collective being severed.

14th episode: Evasions.
Seven of Nine's human physiology begins to reassert itself, requiring the removal of most of her implants. In the meantime Voyager evades the Collective going upwards out of the galactic plane.

15th episode: Evasions part 2
Voyager continues to evade the Collective. Seven of Nine begins to integrate socially into Voyager's crew. (After a strong suggestion from Janeway, and not very successfully). Voyager finds a spatial glitch that catapults the ship 10 thousand light-years, beyond Borg space and 6 thousand light years closer to the Federation. (6 years off their journey, 66 years to go.)

16th episode: Establishment
Voyager visits a space station to obtain knowledge of the area of space that it now finds itself in.

17th episode: Random Thoughts
Whilst Voyager is visiting a planet of telepaths B'Elanna Torres is arrested for 'Thinking violent thoughts'.

18th episode: Random Actions
Voyager tries to mediate as events on the telepath's planet spiral towards civil war, as a result of what was revealed as a result of Tuvok's investigation...

19th episode: Random Endings
The situation in the previous episodes reaches a conclusion.

20th episode: Nemesis
Chakotay crashes on a planet where everything is not as it seems.

21st episode: Raven
Seven of Nine runs away from Voyager...

22nd episode: Raven part 2
Janeway and Kes find Seven of Nine in her parent’s ship.

23rd episode: The Quest
An Away Team is involved in a quest on a pre-industrial planet.

24th and last episode: Year of Hell
Voyager encounters the Krenim Imperium. After the Krenim detect 'Seven of Nine' aboard Voyager, the ship is attacked! Leading into the 'Year of Hell' arc in the 6th season.

8th episode: Armada
Voyager again is severely damaged by Krenim forces. Parts of the ship are severely damaged and need to be rebuilt.

9th episode: Armada part 2
Continuation of previous episode. More parts of the ship severely damaged. Parts of the edges of the saucer section are knocked off...

10th episode: Interlude
Voyager is drifting through space following the events of the previous episode. The crew repair some of the damage to the ship, restoring main power and warp drive. The EMH remains offline (Though he appears in flashbacks). They salvage debris from some of the destroyed Krenim vessels.


11th episode: Oasis
Voyager visits a planet that is independent of the Krenim, but things are not as they seem...


12th episode: Rumors
The crew of Voyager chase rumours of a timeship which is changing the timeline to the benefit of the Imperium...


13th episode: Escape
Voyager attempts to escape Krenim space into a neighbouring polity, but find themselves trapped between 2 warring fleets. Voyager is again heavily damaged. The shuttlebay is destroyed (and all the shuttles and Neelix's ship with it) and large areas of the bottom deck of the saucer section is exposed to space. Voyager is careering into the atmosphere of a gas giant as the episode ends.


14th episode: Voyager Down
Voyager is slowly sinking into the gas giant's atmosphere. There is a race against time to repair the impulse drive to allow the ship to escape, before the ship is crushed by the pressures.


15th episode: Voyager Down part 2.
Voyager escapes into a low orbit around the gas giant and find derelicts from both fleets also in orbit. They have to dock with some of the derelicts to obtain materials to get their warp drive back online and to restore artificial gravity on some of the more damaged areas of the ship.


16th episode: Orbit war.
It turns out that some of the derelicts are not abandoned and fight against the Voyager crew when they are boarded.


17th episode: Krenim
Voyager goes to warp away from the gas giant.

Credits

3 Months later – Krenim Prime.
The Imperial Council is discussing the issue of Voyager and the tenacity of its crew to survive the worst that the Krenim could throw at them (and the fact that the stories about Voyager are stirring up dissent...). Then someone comes in and announces that he has a solution to the Voyager problem. This 'solution' is mostly dismissed out of hand as 'fantastical', though some in the Council are fearful.

Most of the episode is about the Krenim including their history and culture. It also follows up on the rumours of Annorax's timeship. The timeship itself is seen in the distance as Voyager approaches the Krenim Homeworld. It is also established that Voyager had been patched up and has adapted Krenim technology to their uses...


18th episode: Hope
Voyager enters a region of space with sparse Krenim activity 2 months after passing the Krenim Homeworld. However Krenim ships are following them, and an old <something> is waiting ahead of them.


19th episode: Annorax
Voyager encounters the effects of the timeship after departing the region of the old experiment seen in the previous episode.


20th episode: Annorax part 2
Annorax investigates Voyager's journey since they had left Borg space. He meets with a Voth long range patrol who provides him with information about the Federation.

In the meantime Voyager is undergoing repairs on an uninhabited planet.


21st episode: Timeship
The Chairman of the Imperial Council contacts Annorax and asks him to discreetly 'deal with the Voyager issue'. Annorax in turn tells him hyperbole about the capability of the Federation. But given the distance involved the Chairman asks him to 'deal with Voyager' anyway...

The Imperiax of the Imperium orders the Imperial Navy to 'chase Voyager out of our space as soon as possible' rather than destroy the ship, which they are seemingly incapable of doing.

Annorax chases Voyager with his timeship and attempts to use the temporal weapon to erase the ship from the timeline...


22nd episode: Endgame
...However Voyager uses some of the repaired Aegis technology to resist the effects of the temporal weapon.

Hence there is a battle between the crews of Voyager and the Timeship through the episode as they try to defeat the other. Annorax attempts to defeat Voyager by changing the timeline in different ways, but to no avail. (There is even a scene in which the Timeship is facing a Borg armada lead by an assimilated Voyager and comprised partly of assimilated Krenim ships!) The situation ends with a 'reset' in which the situation is restored to the status quo at the beginning of the previous episode.


23rd episode: Endgame part 2
A replay of some of the events of the 2 previous episodes in an alternate manner (Though there are certainly additional events). Voyager approaches the Coreward edge of Krenim space as the fleet and the Timeship chase it...


24th episode: Departure
Voyager approaches the edge of Krenim space, and runs through a minefield, during which the (previously evacuated) Bridge is destroyed (All of Deck 1 in fact most of Deck 2 exposed to space, including the Mess Hall). A command centre is set up in Engineering.

A cliff-hanger ending with the Krenim fleet closing on Voyager...


Executive Meddling : The producers of Voyager initially wanted to have a long arc set on the planet in the nebula at the beginning of the season. But UPN insisted on having 'The Rock' guest star. Which made a shortened arc necessary. Hence the 6th episode of the season (which was not well recieved by fans) a lot of filler and the 'Timeship mini-arc' at the end of the season.

Comments?

Some constructive criticism would be nice.

 

[You_Guyz]

How on earth could Warlord be stretched into a two parter??
You do realise each episode is like 45 minutes?
It appears to me that you don't seem to be thinking about what it takes to fill up an episode. You have a two parter simply about repairing Voyager. That's a feature film about repairing a ship....
Too many two parters that simply couldn't exist without ridiculous amounts of padding.

Also, a Future's End season arc would tank the show. No one wants to watch a whole season of the crew running around earth, its completely against the premise of the show. And I don't know what on earth the whole Mexico thing is.

 

[USS Fardell]

How on earth could Warlord be stretched into a two parter??

More details. Extra character development for Tiernan and his helpers. Extra character development for Kes (possible angst other being unable to stop Tiernan.) Extra worldbuilding about the world that Tiernan had ruled in the past.

You do realise each episode is like 45 minutes?

Of course

It appears to me that you don't seem to be thinking about what it takes to fill up an episode. You have a two parter simply about repairing Voyager. That's a feature film about repairing a ship....

Character development, possible flashbacks. (You might call that padding but I wouldn't.)

Too many two parters that simply couldn't exist without ridiculous amounts of padding.

If a spaceship landed in Mexico, I am sure that the Mexican Government would want to investigate it.

I don't think that it would tank the show (Could you elaborate?). It is not entirely set on Earth. There are some episodes with Harry Kim going to get the Vulcan's help.

Any other comments?

 

[You_Guyz]

Some episodes I have real trouble with

Continuation and the end of Braxton's flashbacks: the 80's and 90's. Braxton then explains what is going on and Janeway promises to stop Starling.

-So you want us to sit and watch 45 minutes of what Braxton did during the 1980s and 1990s on earth? Not only that but it’s a simple continuation of another episode of Braxton flashbacks?
Can you tell me how anyone could possibly be that interested in potentially 70minutes + of a tertiary character’s life on earth?

8th Episode: The shuttle Cochrane is sent out by Voyager, with Harry Kim and another 2 crewmembers, to contact the Vulcans or any other nearby species to ga

-So the whole episode is simply about the beginning of their shuttle mission? Exactly what would be filling the 45 minutes here? Pre-launch checks? 45 minutes of Harry expressing his opinion about the mission?
Simply endless lines of dialogue and very little plot advancement? There comes a point where people just want things to happen in a drama series, no one wants to watch 45 minutes of Harry and some ensigns sitting in a shuttle.

11th episode: Starling captures Seven and Paris after they attempt to free the EMH. Tuvok and Robertson find the Timeship in a Chronowerx facility in Arizona. Voyager is forced to land somewhere in Mexico after China tries to attack it, using technology left over from the Eugenics Wars.

-This is almost too silly for me to comment on. China tries to attack Voyager with technology left over from the Eugenics Wars? What does that even mean, “technology left over from the Eugenics Wars”, exactly?
And isn’t the world’s discovery of Voyager going to change the timeline somewhat? Not to mention the Eugenics Wars not fitting into our timeline whatsoever

12th episode: Harry in the Cochrane meets a Vulcan ship. The Vulcans are incredulous at first but they agree to help when they see that Chronowerx could eventually prove to be a threat.

-45 minutes of Harry trying to persuade some Vulcans to help them? Riveting stuff…

13th episode: Roberta Lincoln rescues Seven, Paris and the EMH from Starling. Tuvok and Robertson fight against the Chronowerx security when they try to take the Timeship.
The Mexican Government investigates Voyager.

Once again- WTF?

9th episode: Gary Seven oversees the retrofit of Voyager with Aegis technology that will allow them to confront Chronowerx, and take the timeship. In the meantime Starling searches for the backup base, and moves to secure his position.

20th episode: Janeway and her senior officers begin to plan with Gary Seven about how to confront Chronowerx. Starling continues searching for the backup base.

Two whole episodes revolving around Starling searching for a base? And one episode of which simply focusing on some retrofitting and the other focusing on the senior officers sitting around a table formulating a plan?
What is interesting about this!??

6th episode: In the Middle of Nowhere.
Voyager arrives at a space station to take on supplies before running further towards Borg Space. The crew gets involved in some local intrigue...

7th episode: Escape
The Voyager crew resolve the situation they entangled themselves in in the previous episode and go one their way.

This local intrigue better be bloody fascinating because its taking up 90 minutes – that’s a feature length film amount of time.

17th episode: Random Thoughts
Whilst Voyager is visiting a planet of telepaths B'Elanna Torres is arrested for 'Thinking violent thoughts'.

18th episode: Random Actions
Voyager tries to mediate as events on the telepath's planet spiral towards civil war, as a result of what was revealed as a result of Tuvok's investigation...

19th episode: Random Endings
The situation in the previous episodes reaches a conclusion.

“Random Thoughts” stretched into 135 minutes? Are you kidding me? 90 minutes devoted simply to Tuvok trying to “mediate” on the planet, AYE AYE AYE D:

2nd episode: Hide and Seek
The Krenim armada searches for Voyager in the nebula...

45 minutes of watching the two ships play hide and seek? Are there at least some interesting subplots to keep us entertained?

3rd episode: Tough Landing
Voyager crash lands in an ocean of an M-class planet in the nebula and begins to sink.

4th episode: Landfall
The Voyager crew find an island where they begin to make makeshift repairs to Voyager.

45 minutes of Voyager sinking? Another 45 minutes of the crew repairing the ship? (SERIOUSLY??)

8th episode: Armada
Voyager again is severely damaged by Krenim forces. Parts of the ship are severely damaged and need to be rebuilt.

9th episode: Armada part 2
Continuation of previous episode. More parts of the ship severely damaged. Parts of the edges of the saucer section are knocked off...

I’m pretty sure the show would have been cancelled long before it got to what must be its 5th “Repairing the Ship” episode and this is a two parter? 90 MINUTES ABOUT REPAIRING VOYAGER? Where is the drama here, where is the plot? This is the biggest load of padding I’ve ever seen!
People complain that Voyager wasn’t realistic as the ship always seemed brand new, that doesn’t mean they wanted every fifth episode to be about people repairing it.
If you can’t see what you’re doing wrong with these constant shows devoted to repairing the ship, then I don’t know what’s going on. Have you actually given any thought about what the episodes would involve? What would fill up the 90 minutes here??

10th episode: Interlude
Voyager is drifting through space following the events of the previous episode. The crew repair some of the damage to the ship, restoring main power and warp drive. The EMH remains offline (Though he appears in flashbacks). They salvage debris from some of the destroyed Krenim vessels.

Just when I thought that we had got past the ridiculous repair epic that came before, we have another episode where the crew continue to repair the ship. 3 whole episodes where the focus is repairing the ship.
If you’re gonna write an alternative plotline for the Voyager series, at least put some effort into it.
And what form would these flashbacks take exactly?

11th episode: Oasis
Voyager visits a planet that is independent of the Krenim, but things are not as they seem...

Ok, clearly you just stopped trying completely here.

4th episode: Voyager Down
Voyager is slowly sinking into the gas giant's atmosphere. There is a race against time to repair the impulse drive to allow the ship to escape, before the ship is crushed by the pressures.


15th episode: Voyager Down part 2.
Voyager escapes into a low orbit around the gas giant and find derelicts from both fleets also in orbit. They have to dock with some of the derelicts to obtain materials to get their warp drive back online and to restore artificial gravity on some of the more damaged areas of the ship.

OH MY GOD! Another 90 minutes about repairing the bloody ship!? Have you even looked over what you’ve written?? And explain how Voyager Down is much different from the one where they are sinking in the ocean?

 

[USS Fardell]

Some episodes I have real trouble with

Continuation and the end of Braxton's flashbacks: the 80's and 90's. Braxton then explains what is going on and Janeway promises to stop Starling.

-So you want us to sit and watch 45 minutes of what Braxton did during the 1980s and 1990s on earth? Not only that but it’s a simple continuation of another episode of Braxton flashbacks?
Can you tell me how anyone could possibly be that interested in potentially 70minutes + of a tertiary character’s life on earth?

OK, you have me here: It will be retconned into a single episode...

8th Episode: The shuttle Cochrane is sent out by Voyager, with Harry Kim and another 2 crewmembers, to contact the Vulcans or any other nearby species to ga

-So the whole episode is simply about the beginning of their shuttle mission? Exactly what would be filling the 45 minutes here? Pre-launch checks? 45 minutes of Harry expressing his opinion about the mission?
Simply endless lines of dialogue and very little plot advancement? There comes a point where people just want things to happen in a drama series, no one wants to watch 45 minutes of Harry and some ensigns sitting in a shuttle.

It is more than that! (How did you get the impression that is only what you discribed?) They actually leave the solar system and get half way to Vulcan and then detect a Vulcan ship on the sensors...

-This is almost too silly for me to comment on. China tries to attack Voyager with technology left over from the Eugenics Wars? What does that even mean, “technology left over from the Eugenics Wars”, exactly?
And isn’t the world’s discovery of Voyager going to change the timeline somewhat? Not to mention the Eugenics Wars not fitting into our timeline whatsoever

I do point out in my season 5 description that the timeline had changed. (Although not enough to change the Dominion War arc in DS9, make of that what you will...)

-45 minutes of Harry trying to persuade some Vulcans to help them? Riveting stuff…

More like 27 minutes with some action sequences...

Once again- WTF?

I think I pretty much answered this.

Two whole episodes revolving around Starling searching for a base? And one episode of which simply focusing on some retrofitting and the other focusing on the senior officers sitting around a table formulating a plan?
What is interesting about this!??

What you may find dull, may be interesting to others... (And as above this is not all that the episode would entail)

This local intrigue better be bloody fascinating because its taking up 90 minutes – that’s a feature length film amount of time.

Of couse it would be.

“Random Thoughts” stretched into 135 minutes? Are you kidding me? 90 minutes devoted simply to Tuvok trying to “mediate” on the planet, AYE AYE AYE D:

Tuvok attempting to negotiate on the planet would not be the sole focus of the latter 2 episodes. (Janeway berating Tuvok for the actions that precipitated the troubles. B'Elanna blaming herself for the troubles. Away Teams in danger...)

45 minutes of watching the two ships play hide and seek? Are there at least some interesting subplots to keep us entertained?

Of course there would be.

45 minutes of Voyager sinking? Another 45 minutes of the crew repairing the ship? (SERIOUSLY??)

Think of the 3rd episode as similar to Titanic. Making repairs to Voyager would not be the sole focus of the 4th episode. They would also be exploring the island that they find themselves on.

I’m pretty sure the show would have been cancelled long before it got to what must be its 5th “Repairing the Ship” episode and this is a two parter? 90 MINUTES ABOUT REPAIRING VOYAGER? Where is the drama here, where is the plot? This is the biggest load of padding I’ve ever seen!
People complain that Voyager wasn’t realistic as the ship always seemed brand new, that doesn’t mean they wanted every fifth episode to be about people repairing it.
If you can’t see what you’re doing wrong with these constant shows devoted to repairing the ship, then I don’t know what’s going on. Have you actually given any thought about what the episodes would involve? What would fill up the 90 minutes here??

You have me here also. This will be retconned into one episode.

Just when I thought that we had got past the ridiculous repair epic that came before, we have another episode where the crew continue to repair the ship. 3 whole episodes where the focus is repairing the ship.
If you’re gonna write an alternative plotline for the Voyager series, at least put some effort into it.
And what form would these flashbacks take exactly?

Flashbacks of previous moments from Voyager's journey and of their lives prior to the ship being in the Delta Quadrant (May or may not conflict with Mosaic and Pathways, Taylor may still quit after the 4th season).

11th episode: Oasis
Voyager visits a planet that is independent of the Krenim, but things are not as they seem...

Ok, clearly you just stopped trying completely here.

4th episode: Voyager Down
Voyager is slowly sinking into the gas giant's atmosphere. There is a race against time to repair the impulse drive to allow the ship to escape, before the ship is crushed by the pressures.


15th episode: Voyager Down part 2.
Voyager escapes into a low orbit around the gas giant and find derelicts from both fleets also in orbit. They have to dock with some of the derelicts to obtain materials to get their warp drive back online and to restore artificial gravity on some of the more damaged areas of the ship.

OH MY GOD! Another 90 minutes about repairing the bloody ship!? Have you even looked over what you’ve written?? And explain how Voyager Down is much different from the one where they are sinking in the ocean?

Yet another retcon. (Voyager Down as one episode) The retconned timeline will be posted soon, unless you (or anyone else) have any other criticisms.

The Future's End Season Arc
Retconned Seasons 4 and 5

Instead of in the middle of the 3rd season it is the entire 4th Season.
The absence of the 2 parter in the middle of the 3rd season changes the layout of the 3rd season a bit...

Warlord

Before and After

Now become 2 parters.

The season finale of the 3rd season is the beginning of the Future's End situation, with Captain Braxton showing up, and chasing Voyager for a while before he catches up and confronts them, with the result of him ending up in the 1960's and Voyager in the 1990's

4th season
1st episode: Voyager ends up in orbit around Earth in 1997. They spend most of the episode repairing damage to the ship caused by the transition through time and avoiding detection from Earth.

2nd episode: Voyager begins to investigate what is happening, looking for the timeship.

3rd episode: The investigating Voyager crew run into Braxton who has become a homeless person, who investigates the person who took the timeship. Braxton’s Flashbacks. Braxton then explains what is going on and Janeway promises to stop Starling.

4th episode: Janeway and Chakotay infiltrate Chronowerx, trying to find out what Starling is up to.

5th episode: Janeway and Chakotay are caught by Starling, and they have to be beamed up by Voyager. Starling downloads some of the Voyager's computer information and programs, including the EMH. Tuvok and Paris are stuck on Earth and go to the Griffith Observatory, where someone has detected Voyager.

8th episode: Tuvok, Paris and Rain Robertson are on the run from Chronowerx, whilst Voyager has to elude both Chronowerx and the United States Government.

9th Episode: The shuttle Cochrane is sent out by Voyager, with Harry Kim and another 2 crewmembers, to contact the Vulcans or any other nearby species to gain their assistance.

10th episode: Gary Seven comes to the rescue of Tuvok, Paris and Robertson; he fills them in on what he knows about Chronowerx. He adds that both Roberta Lincoln and Isis are off on missions... Voyager is boarded by Chronowerx goons and they have to be interred in the brig. Then a government contacts them. Starling interrogates the EMH.

11th episode: Voyager continues to fight against Chronowerx, which is infiltrated by Seven and Paris. Tuvok and Robertson try to track down where the Timeship is being kept. The EMH is still being interrogated by Starling and some of his underlings.

12th episode: Starling captures Seven and Paris after they attempt to free the EMH. Tuvok and Robertson find the Timeship in a Chronowerx facility in Arizona. Voyager is forced to land somewhere in Mexico after China tries to attack it, using technology left over from the Eugenics Wars.

13th episode: Harry in the Cochrane meets a Vulcan ship. The Vulcans are incredulous at first but they agree to help when they see that Chronowerx could eventually prove to be a threat.

14th episode: Roberta Lincoln rescues Seven, Paris and the EMH from Starling. Tuvok and Robertson fight against the Chronowerx security when they try to take the Timeship.
The Mexican Government investigates Voyager.

15th episode: Starling chases Seven, Lincoln, Paris and the EMH to Seven's base. Tuvok and Robertson are captured, and Voyager is chased off by the Mexican air force. Voyager then attempts to rescue Tuvok and Robertson. Starling attempts to enter Gary Seven's base, but continually fails.

16th episode: Isis rescues Tuvok and Robertson from Chronowerx and takes them to a backup base. Voyager attempts to relieve the Chronowerx siege of Gary Seven's main base, with the help of Seven, Lincoln, Paris and the EMH.

17th episode: Isis, Tuvok and Robertson help Voyager rescue Seven, Lincoln, Paris and the EMH from the Chronowerx besieged Aegis main Earth base, which then self destructs.

18th episode: Leaving Isis in charge of the backup base, Gary Seven joins Voyager, which hides on the side of the Moon facing away from Earth, to discuss with the senior officers about what to do with the Timeship.

19th episode: The Vulcan ship gains approval to intervene in the matter with Chronowerx. They journey to Earth with the shuttle.

20th episode: Gary Seven oversees the retrofit of Voyager with Aegis technology that will allow them to confront Chronowerx, and take the timeship. In the meantime Starling searches for the backup base, and moves to secure his position. Janeway and her senior officers begin to plan with Gary Seven about how to confront Chronowerx

21st episode: Janeway, her senior officers, Gary Seven and the Vulcans finalise their plans to confront Chronowerx. Voyager comes out of hiding from behind the moon and confronts Chronowerx. Starling finds the backup base in the meantime leading to the backup base being besieged at the same time as Voyager attacking Chronowerx.

22nd episode: Chronowerx is under attack by Voyager, the Aegis agents and those allied to them. Starling takes over the backup Aegis base and uses its technology to finish his repairs to the timeship. The episode, and the season, ends as Starling launches the timeship.



5th Season:

1st episode: Voyager, the Aegis and their allies continue to fight against Chronowerx and their allies to prevent Starling travelling through time and destroying the Sol system in the 29th Century.
This fight comes down to a wire, and the timeship is destroyed. It is now obvious that the timeline has been changed. (Though viewers that watch Deep Space Nine know that there hasn't been any obvious real change in the 24th Century) Voyager remains in the 20th century at episode's end.

2nd episode: Gary Seven makes preparations to return Voyager to the 24th Century, as the crew help the Aegis agents mop up some of the mess from the fight against Chronowerx. Then an alternate timeship (named Relativity) appears, captained by an alternate (and older) Braxton. Over the objections of Janeway (who wants to return to the 24th Century Federation) and Gary Seven (who still wants to remove the Aegis tech from Voyager and agrees with Janeway about returning to the Federation) the Relativity returns Voyager to the 24th Century Delta Quadrant at the time and place that they had left.


What happens next?
There are many possibilities but I'll look at one here. First Contact had been released and TPTB still want to cash in on the Borg.
Expect increasing rumours of Borg in the first half of the fifth season. (There had been little mention of the Borg in the Future's End arc, though maybe more on Deep Space Nine [despite the Dominion War])

And then Scorpion airs at the same time that Dark Frontier had aired in OTL, introducing Seven of Nine (though maybe a different number to reduce confusion with the other Seven? Still Jeri Ryan?) Voyager finds a wormhole across Borg space after the defeat of Species 8472 (with Kes staying on Voyager somehow), though they still run into the effects of the Borg from time to time.

Here is a possible layout of the remainder of the 5th season,

3rd episode: Change of Pace
The Voyager crew take stock of themselves following their return to the Delta Quadrant. Resting after the frantic activity of the last few days in the 20th Century.

4th episode: Ailati
Voyager runs into an empire which wants Voyager's technology for themselves. They have to evade their forces.

5th episode: Clues
After fleeing beyond the Ailati's reach, Voyager's crew find more evidence that they are approaching Borg Space. Janeway asks the crew to start devising defences against them.

6th episode: In the Middle of Nowhere.
Voyager arrives at a space station to take on supplies before running further towards Borg Space. The crew gets involved in some local intrigue...

7th episode: Escape
The Voyager crew resolve the situation they entangled themselves in in the previous episode and go one their way.

8th episode: Refugees
Voyager meets ragtag fleets of ships fleeing the Borg.

9th episode: Unknown Species
Voyager is practically run over by a Borg armada, which then vanishes. They investigate and find that the armada was destroyed by an unknown bioship. Janeway sends an away team onto a barely functional cube to find out what the Borg know about this threat. The away team investigate the bioship and find that it is what it appears to be. They retrieve a Borg data node, and are soon attacked by the pilot of the bioship. The away team is beamed away, but not in time. Harry Kim is struck down by the pilot just before transport.
Investigating the data node the Voyager crew find that the Borg call this beings Species 8472. The EMH reports that alien cells are consuming Harry's body from the inside-out. Voyager sets course for a region of space called the 'Northwest Passage' that is free of Borg activity.

10th episode: Scorpion
Janeway is inspired by a holocharacter to seek an alliance with the Borg against Species 8472. Chakotay tries to dissuade her of this notion, telling her the story of a fox that carries a scorpion across a river that stings the fox because of its nature. He also reminders her of other times that her schemes had backfired on the Voyager crew. Janeway still decides to go ahead with her scheme over Chakotay's objections.
They have trouble finding an intact Borg ship due to the rampaging of Species 8472. They eventually find an intact vessel and Janeway tries to negotiate with the Collective. The Collective tries to assimilate Voyager, but they had prepared for the eventuality and use some of the Aegis and Chronowerx technology to beam all the drones off the ship, and then to enhance the shields. The Borg try to adapt but Janeway tells the Collective that they would delete the data about the enhanced nanoprobes.
The Borg beam Janeway off the ship (having adapted to the shields) and ask her about her terms of alliance.
Then Species 8472 arrives and blows up the nearby Borg planet . The cube that Janeway is on barely escapes with Voyager in tow.

11th episode: Scorpion Part 2
Chakotay tries to free Voyager from the Borg tractor beam before Janeway hails and says that she and the Collective had agreed to an alliance. Tuvok beams over to help Janeway with the Borg. They meet a human drone in the centre of the cube who the collective has chosen as a spokesperson. They begin to work together on a plan to combat Species 8472.
In the meantime there is dissent amongst the Voyager crew about the alliance with the Borg. Chakotay tells them that the alliance is only temporary. There is trouble with some of the former Maquis but most of the crew decide to wait and see what happens.
Janeway, Tuvok and the drone, Seven of Nine, Tertiary Adjunct of Unimatrix 01, were having progress when Species 8472 attacks. There is a brief battle but the Borg have to sacrifice the Cube to protect Voyager.
Janeway, Tuvok, and a number of drones (including Seven of Nine) are beamed into Voyager's Cargo Bay 2 before the cube is destroyed. Janeway is incapacitated, leaving Chakotay in command of Voyager.
After a vision quest Chakotay decides to break the alliance with the Borg (who had demanded that Voyager turn around). He announces to Seven of Nine his intention to drop the Borg and a supply of augmented nanoprobes on a nearby uninhabited planet and to find a different way home. The Borg object but Chakotay is determined.
As Voyager reaches the uninhabited planet the Borg hack into the navigational deflector and open a doorway into the realm of Species 8472. Voyager is drawn in, though not before ejecting all the drones except for Seven of Nine into space.

12th episode: Fluidic Space
Voyager is in the realm of Species 8472. Seven of Nine announces that Species 8472 knows that Voyager is there and that Voyager needs to prepare for the confrontation.
Chakotay orders her to reverse the trick with the deflector. She refuses.
Janeway recovers and confronts Chakotay over his actions. She decides to prepare Voyager for the altercation with Species 8472.
Voyager is prepared for the confrontation, being enhanced with Borg technology (and technology that the Borg had assimilated). Nanoprobe weapons included. The episode ends as Bioships approach Voyager.

13th episode: Confrontations
Voyager battles against the 8472 bioships using the nanoprobe weapons. Several of the Bioships are destroyed. Janeway then tries to negotiate with them...
The 8472 decide to stop their attacks on the Borg if the Borg agree to stop. They say that they can adapt to the nanoprobe weapons eventually and that the Collective is loosing. Seven of Nine agrees.
Shortly after this she returns Voyager to the Delta Quadrant. The Collective then announces through her that Voyager will be assimilated. The Collective then takes control of Voyager's computers and takes the ship towards a Borg planet.
Thus ensues a battle inside Voyager's computer systems between the Collective versus Voyager's crew, including the EMH. The result of this is Seven of Nine's connection to the Collective being severed.

14th episode: Evasions.
Seven of Nine's human physiology begins to reassert itself, requiring the removal of most of her implants. In the meantime Voyager evades the Collective going upwards out of the galactic plane.

15th episode: Evasions part 2
Voyager continues to evade the Collective. Seven of Nine begins to integrate socially into Voyager's crew. (After a strong suggestion from Janeway, and not very successfully). Voyager finds a spatial glitch that catapults the ship 10 thousand light-years, beyond Borg space and 6 thousand light years closer to the Federation. (6 years off their journey, 66 years to go.)

16th episode: Establishment
Voyager visits a space station to obtain knowledge of the area of space that it now finds itself in.

17th episode: Random Thoughts
Whilst Voyager is visiting a planet of telepaths B'Elanna Torres is arrested for 'Thinking violent thoughts'.

18th episode: Random Actions
Voyager tries to mediate as events on the telepath's planet spiral towards civil war, as a result of what was revealed as a result of Tuvok's investigation...

19th episode: Random Endings
The situation in the previous episodes reaches a conclusion.

20th episode: Nemesis
Chakotay crashes on a planet where everything is not as it seems.

21st episode: Raven
Seven of Nine runs away from Voyager...

22nd episode: Raven part 2
Janeway and Kes find Seven of Nine in her parent’s ship.

23rd episode: The Quest
An Away Team is involved in a quest on a pre-industrial planet.

24th and last episode: Year of Hell
Voyager encounters the Krenim Imperium. After the Krenim detect 'Seven of Nine' aboard Voyager, the ship is attacked! Leading into the 'Year of Hell' arc in the 6th season.


The retconned Season 6 is in the next post due to character limits!

Voyager again is severely damaged by Krenim forces. Many Parts of the ship are severely damaged and need to be rebuilt. Parts of the edges of the saucer section are knocked off...

9th episode: Interlude
Voyager is drifting through space following the events of the previous episode. The crew repair some of the damage to the ship, restoring main power and warp drive. The EMH remains offline (Though he appears in flashbacks). They salvage debris from some of the destroyed Krenim vessels.


10th episode: Oasis
Voyager visits a planet that is independent of the Krenim, but things are not as they seem...


11th episode: Underground
Voyager discovers a nest of resistance fighters in a nebula. But will they help Voyager through the vast remainder of Krenim space?

The crew of Voyager chase rumours of a timeship which is changing the timeline to the benefit of the Imperium...


13th episode: Escape
Voyager attempts to escape Krenim space into a neighbouring polity, but find themselves trapped between 2 warring fleets. Voyager is again heavily damaged. The shuttlebay is destroyed (and all the shuttles and Neelix's ship with it) and large areas of the bottom deck of the saucer section is exposed to space. Voyager is careering into the atmosphere of a gas giant as the episode ends.


14th episode: Voyager Down
Voyager is slowly sinking into the gas giant's atmosphere as the episode opens. Voyager escapes into a low orbit around the gas giant and find derelicts from both fleets also in orbit. They have to dock with some of the derelicts to obtain materials to get their warp drive back online and to restore artificial gravity on some of the more damaged areas of the ship. It turns out that some of the derelicts are not abandoned and fight against the Voyager crew when they are boarded.


15th episode: Krenim
Voyager goes to warp away from the gas giant.

Credits

3 Months later – Krenim Prime.
The Imperial Council is discussing the issue of Voyager and the tenacity of its crew to survive the worst that the Krenim could throw at them (and the fact that the stories about Voyager are stirring up dissent...). Then someone comes in and announces that he has a solution to the Voyager problem. This 'solution' is mostly dismissed out of hand as 'fantastical', though some in the Council are fearful.

Most of the episode is about the Krenim including their history and culture. It also follows up on the rumours of Annorax's timeship. The timeship itself is seen in the distance as Voyager approaches the Krenim Homeworld. It is also established that Voyager had been patched up and has adapted Krenim technology to their uses...



16th episode: Hope
Voyager enters a region of space with sparse Krenim activity 2 months after passing the Krenim Homeworld. However Krenim ships are following them, and an old <something> is waiting ahead of them.


17th episode: Annorax
Voyager encounters the effects of the timeship after departing the region of the old experiment seen in the previous episode.


18th episode: Annorax part 2
Annorax investigates Voyager's journey since they had left Borg space. He meets with a Voth long range patrol who provides him with information about the Federation.

In the meantime Voyager is undergoing repairs on an uninhabited planet.


19th episode: Timeship
The Chairman of the Imperial Council contacts Annorax and asks him to discreetly 'deal with the Voyager issue'. Annorax in turn tells him hyperbole about the capability of the Federation. But given the distance involved the Chairman asks him to 'deal with Voyager' anyway...

The Imperiax of the Imperium orders the Imperial Navy to 'chase Voyager out of our space as soon as possible' rather than destroy the ship, which they are seemingly incapable of doing.

Annorax chases Voyager with his timeship and attempts to use the temporal weapon to erase the ship from the timeline...


20th episode: Endgame
...However Voyager uses some of the repaired Aegis technology to resist the effects of the temporal weapon.

Hence there is a battle between the crews of Voyager and the Timeship through the episode as they try to defeat the other. Annorax attempts to defeat Voyager by changing the timeline in different ways, but to no avail. (There is even a scene in which the Timeship is facing a Borg armada lead by an assimilated Voyager and comprised partly of assimilated Krenim ships!) The situation ends with a 'reset' in which the situation is restored to the status quo at the beginning of the previous episode.


21st episode: Endgame part 2
A replay of some of the events of the 2 previous episodes in an alternate manner (Though there are certainly additional events). Voyager approaches the Coreward edge of Krenim space as the fleet and the Timeship chase it...


22nd episode: Departure
Voyager approaches the edge of Krenim space, and runs through a minefield, during which the (previously evacuated) Bridge is destroyed (All of Deck 1 in fact most of Deck 2 exposed to space, including the Mess Hall). A command centre is set up in Engineering.

A cliff-hanger ending with the Krenim fleet closing on Voyager...

 

[USS Fardell]

Here is the 7th Season... (Feel free to critique!)



7th Season.
1st episode: Rescue
Voyager finally leaves Krenim space. The ship is mysteriously rescued by another ship from the Krenim fleet and the Timeship. The rescuer then disappears. (The Timeship is not destroyed and will appear in future). The Krenim will continue to appear at various points throughout the rest of the series.

Voyager is now enhanced with Aegis, Chronowerx, Borg and Krenim technology, though it is rather damaged.

2nd episode: Recovery
Voyager stops at a space station and begins repairs. In the mean time there are mysteries to be solved and Krenim agents to avoid...
Most of the hull breaches are repaired in this episode. (The repaired areas of hull look different to the rest of the hull.)

3rd episode: Waking Moments
The crew of Voyager start to have dreams from which they cannot wake, and only Chakotay can save them.

4th episode: Time of Mysteries
Voyager trades skill for materials to repair their ship. (Reconstruction of Deck 1 begins in this episode) They begin to solve mysteries for the local civilization. The first rumours of the Hirogen are in this episode.

5th episode: Living Witness
A Kyrian museum curator 800 years in the future hopes a Voyager relic containing a copy of the Doctor can confirm their version of history.
(The flashback portions of the episode shows that the reconstruction of Deck 1 is still ongoing. Parts of the errors of the false history include Voyager having shuttles and a line to the effect of ‘They were responsible for the ‘fall of the Krenim’”.)


6th episode: Tales of the past.
Another episode in the vein of ‘Living Witness’. Tales about the exploits of Voyager are told in various places in the region to the Coreward of the (sometimes former) Krenim Imperium. Includes a cameo by Annorax as he tells of his encounters with the ship. (There is even a third view of the events that occurred at the Vaskan/Kyrian planet.)

7th episode: Moments of rest
Voyager visits a peaceful planet, but it is not as peaceful as it appears. The new bridge (which looks quite different than the old) is first used in this episode, though it is not yet complete. The reconstruction of the shuttle bay begins.

8th episode: Message in a Bottle
The Doctor's program is sent to an advanced Starfleet vessel via a vast ancient communications network, but he soon discovers that only he and the ship's own EMH remain to fight against Tzenkethi who have taken over the ship and are attempting to return to Tzenkethi space with it.
Most of this episode is set in the Alpha Quadrant rather than Voyager. The change to Tzenkethi rather than Romulans is because it is assumed that the Federation and the Star Empire would remain allies after the Dominion War. The Tzenkethi are first seen in this episode... (Though they certainly have been mentioned before.)

9th Episode: Hunters
A transmission from Starfleet Command gets held at a Hirogen relay station and Janeway sets course to retrieve it.
The Hirogen are introduced in this episode (Practically identical to OTL Hirogen). The new bridge is fully operational, but the new shuttle bay is still a framework.

10th episode: Bountiful Mysteries
After running from the Hirogen, Voyager arrives at a Federation-like group of planets. They trade their mystery solving skills for repair aid and for star charts of the region ahead.

11th episode: Bountiful Secrets
The continuation of the previous episode. Secrets are discovered that implicate one of the Association’s founding members in an ancient conspiracy. Voyager is drawn into the quagmire that results. It is also discovered that Krenim agents are shadowing Voyager and have also been drawn into the quagmire...
(It is shown that the new shuttle bay is still under construction)

12th episode: Bountiful Threats
3rd in a 3-parter. As chaos begins to descend on the Association a group of Hirogen raid the planet where Voyager is situated, and a Borg scout ship is sighted approaching Association space.

13th episode: Hope and Fear
Paris and Neelix return from a mission with a passenger named Arturis who knows more than 4,000 languages. He manages to decode a message from Starfleet that could lead to a way home...
This episode is much like the episode in OTL. (Differences include Kes having a role and Voyager travelling 350 light years closer to Federation space.)
Voyager is now beyond the Association’s sphere of influence. (Though not necessarily beyond that of the Krenim)

14th episode: Drone
The Doctor's mobile emitter is damaged during beam back from an away mission, merging with Seven of Nine's Borg nanoprobes and with DNA of a male Ensign to create a 29th century Borg.

15th episode: Explorers
Voyager meets a group of explorers and exchange stories and star charts, though this is not all that happens...
The new shuttle bay is completed, though no new shuttles had been completed as of yet.

16th episode: Waste
Voyager makes first contact with the Malon, a species who dump antimatter waste into other species space...

17th episode: Extreme Risk
B'Elanna purposely puts herself into increasingly more dangerous situations. Meanwhile the crew decides to build a new shuttlecraft, the Delta Flyer.
Voyager meets the Malon again, as they race against time to retrieve a probe...

18th episode: Thirty Days
Tom Paris disregards orders by helping an aquatic world and is demoted to Ensign.

19th episode: Demon
Tom Paris and Harry Kim take a shuttle down to an extremely inhospitable planet to obtain fuel.

20th episode: This Side of Eden
A Voyager away team arrives in an area of a planet where an ancient arkology is in danger of collapse.

21st episode: Dark Frontier part 1
Janeway plans to steal a transwarp coil from a disabled Borg ship to shorten their journey home.
(Much the same as OTL, as is the 2nd part)

22nd episode: Dark Frontier part 2
Janeway leads a mission in the Delta Flyer to rescue Seven of Nine.

23rd episode: Omega Directive
Janeway receives the Omega Directive, an order to destroy the Omega molecules, even if it means violating the Prime Directive.
A Krenim ship is also nearby and tries to grab the Omega molecule for the Krenim...

24th episode: One Small Step
Seven helps the crew avoid a huge mass of subspace energy and they theorize an ancient spacecraft is inside.

25th episode: Another Ship
A Voyager away team discovers a Borg presence in an industrial era city on a pre-warp planet. They also find another group investigating the Borg who remind them of themselves...

26th episode: Blink of an Eye
Voyager is trapped in orbit of a planet where time is going much faster than normal. (up to 100 days on the planet for every second on Voyager.)
This leads into the 8th season arc.

 

[USS Fardell]

8th season:
Blink of an Eye arc.
1st episode: Blink of an Eye part 2
Cultural change occurs on the planet as the ‘Ground Shaker’ becomes more prominent in their mythologies and as Agriculture begins in many areas. Voyager attempts to remove itself from the planet’s orbit without success and causing many quakes.

2nd episode: Pyramids
Voyager discovers an Egypt-like civilization arising on the planet...

3rd episode: Ziggurats
As more Neolithic civilisations arise Janeway begins to wonder whether Voyager’s presence is violating the Prime Directive.

4th episode: Bronze Age
Areas of the planet enter the bronze age, and Agriculture spreads. The Voyager influenced theologies spread too...
Voyager launches probes to monitor the planet, but they begin to fail after being in orbit for hundreds of years...

5th episode: Quandaries
Voyager has been in orbit for over a week (approximately 3000 years for the planet) and the crew are no closer to solving the problem relating to the fact that the ship is stuck in orbit and is causing quakes on the planet. Seven of Nine brings to Janeway’s attention that the Astrometrics sensors had detected a civilisation building megaliths in an attempt to communicate with the ‘Ground Shaker’ and that they show advanced mathematical techniques.

6th episode: Company
Voyager detects a Krenim vessel come into orbit of the planet in close proximity to their position. The presence of the Krenim vessel destabilises Voyager’s orbit bringing the ship closer to the planet, and further into the temporal expansion field. Its orbit also destabilised the Krenim vessel crashes in an uninhabited area of the planet, though not before beaming some of its crew to Voyager.
It is revealed that the Krenim had been tracking Voyager ever since the ship left their space. But before Janeway can berate the Krenim captain for this Seven reports that the crashed Krenim had survived and started their own civilisation in their area of the planet...
Janeway is more upset at this development and regrets her decision to investigate the planet that got them, and now the Krenim trapped.
It is now 80 days on the planet for every second on Voyager.

I think that this episode was well done. I think that the Krenim back-story in this episode is plausible.

Complete bunkum! Why would the Krenim be chasing Voyager for a year after leaving their space?

Did you not watch the last season? The Krenim have their reasons for chasing Voyager. I am sure that all will be revealed.

Did you notice that this episode was written by Brannan Braga? That is right, he who wrote that pile of .... [2] that is Threshold back in season two. The episode that was repudiated by Paramount. It is likely that the Krenim on the planet will be ignored and this episode will be spoken of in the same breath as Spock’s Brain and other similar garbage episodes. [A long abusive anti-Braga rant.] [3].

*Looks at above post and shakes head*
Let’s get back on topic shall we. I think that Captain Tanarex explained the situation well to Janeway and her senior staff.
The Krenim, or at least their Imperial Navy, want to know what Voyager gets up to in their sphere of influence and so has them followed. Though I would think that Voyager is rather close to the edge of space known to the Krenim by now. (And let’s not get into a discussion about how the Association was or was not influenced by the Krenim, that has been rehashed over and over the past 9 months...)

The presence of the Krenim colony on the planet will have interesting effects on the development of societies there.

Niner_023 # 71
And the Accelerated Planet arc becomes more interesting...

7th episode: Vitality
Some of the indigenous populations of the planet enter the Iron Age. Some other populations begin to make bronze. And the Krenim colony begins building up towards an industrial age.

8th episode: Relativity.
Voyager begins to experience temporal distortions unrelated to the planet’s temporal expansion field.
Seven of Nine is recruited by an older Captain Braxton who is in command of the timeship Relativity.
Braxton reveals that a temporal weapon has been placed on Voyager some time prior to its arrival at the accelerated planet. Seven then goes into Voyager’s past prior to its journey to 20th Century Earth, and discovers an even older Braxton planting the temporal distortion weapon on Voyager.
Thus ensues a chase through Voyager in various time periods. (Including the present where Janeway gets involved, the Year of Hell, the period when Voyager was at 20th Century Earth and during various Kazon attacks.) In the meantime Braxton is arrested by his first officer.


9th episode: Concerns
Iron age and Bronze age societies continue to spread and the Krenim colony enters an Industrial age. Seven of Nine reports that more civilisations are building megaliths to try to communicate with Voyager and that the original megalith builders have expanded upon their original megaliths. She also notes that the Krenim are keeping to themselves.

10th episode: Empire
A large Empire rises around a Mediterranean-like sea and expands. Many charismatic figures claiming to ‘know the secrets of the Ground-Shaker’ start cults...
The Krenim colony begins covert exploration.

11th episode: Cult
A Krenim explorer investigates a cult in the Munloare Empire (the empire established in the previous episode). He finds out information that he thinks that Voyager should know.

12th episode: Multiple Troubles
Seven reports that the Krenim have built a Monolith complex. Captain Tanarex translates the message from the explorer in the previous episode to Seven and Janeway. It appears that the ‘Church of the Grand Mysteries of the Ground-Shaker’ is planning to somehow bring Voyager down to the planet.
Long range sensors show that a Borg ship is approaching the planet’s system at high warp...

13th episode: Fall of Empire
Voyager monitors the fall of the Munloare Empire to barbarians and a neighbouring civilisation. More empires rise in other regions of the planet. The Krenim keep mostly to themselves.

14th episode: Time of Borg
The Borg ship that was detected earlier arrives and attempts to enter orbit with Voyager. This again destabilises Voyager’s orbit, sending it further into the Temporal Expansion Field. The Borg ship tries to tractor Voyager closer to it, but this just causes more quakes on the planet and destabilises its own orbit. Some drones are beamed to Voyager and then the sphere crashes in an ocean of the planet.
Voyager fights off the drones as their orbit stabilises again. (15 days on the planet for each second on Voyager). They find that the Borg have survived and have assimilated a remote island, after adapting to the temporal differential between them and the rest of the Collective.

15th episode: Dark Age
The Krenim, having observed the orbital battle, fight the Borg, ensuring that they don’t leave their island. Many civilisations fall in other regions of the planet.

16th episode: Realities
Voyager receives visitors from an alternate Voyager (which is also trapped in orbit around an alternate version of the time expanded planet.)
An interdimensional quest ensues, trying to keep information out of the hands of a Mirror-verse Voyager (and avoiding assimilated Voyagers).

17th episode: Krenim vs Borg
The Krenim – Borg war on the planet gets worse after the Borg assimilate a Krenim ship. The Krenim begin to loose. The Borg assimilate the rest of the archipelago their island is in, including many stone age tribes. Voyager attempts to destroy the Borg by firing photon torpedos, but the temporal differential means that they have time to prepare for each torpedo’s arrival. (There is over a week between each torpedo!)

18th episode: Krenim vs Borg part 2
Continuation of previous episode. The Krenim on the planet continue to loose. Voyager fires entire spreads of photon torpedoes programmed to arrive at the same time. Some Borg islands and many fleets of Square ships are destroyed.

19th episode: Renaissance
The area of the former Munalore Empire enters a renaissance, and the civilisations that now occupy the area begin exploring (Running into rumours of the Krenim and the Borg... They also evangelise their particular ‘Ground Shaker’ mythologies, including the ‘Church of the Grand Mysteries of the Ground Shaker.’). The Voyager crew monitors this over several days (around 3 centuries).

20th episode: Explorers
A succession of explorers from the former Munalore regions run into Krenim and Borg outposts. Voyager monitors the activity.

21st episode: Colonies
The Lorman Kingdom and other former Munalore nations come up against the Krenim and the Borg as they enter a colonisation phase. Loman astronomers discover that the ‘Ground Shaker’ is a kind of ship.

22nd episode: Industry
As the Steam age begins religious and political turmoil occurs as the real nature of Voyager is revealed. Many established religions fall. Many orders crusade against the Borg as the true nature of this enemy is revealed.

23rd episode: Undercover
After an astronomer sends a radio message to Voyager, the EMH is beamed down to discover more about the planet’s culture.

24th episode: Reckoning

Gotana Retz leads the Nataren Protectorate’s mission to the Sky Ship... Little does he realise what he is in for...

26th episode: Mission’s End
Gortana Retz has to return to the planet before Voyager is blown out of the sky or the Krenim initiate an apocalyptic war in Voyager’s defence.

[1] I think I would have had commented on the thread about this episode.
[2] The 4 lettered word is a profanity. It is best left to the imagination of the reader. To use the word would make this NSFW.
[3] I am not writing a page long abusive Anti-Braga rant.

Perhaps it's just me but I'm a bit unsure where the point is of listing dozens upon dozens of one-sentence descriptions of episodes in the vein of 'Voyager does this' or 'Voyager does that'.

What's the point of it?

Aren't all episode synopses similar...

As to the point...

Why ask? Speculation is fun...

Anyway, can you think of ways to make the descriptions more interesting?

I think I would struggle to make page after page of one-sentence episode descriptions interesting before I could even contemplate trying to make them more interesting to be honest.

Taking one such episode description: "Voyager resolves the situation from the previous episode and goes on its way."

Now seriously, what's the point of even writing that?

That description was from before the retconning...

What did the description say after the retconning?

 

[USS Fardell]

Actually as you paraphrased the description, the same thing. Therefore; there may be a retcon for that description....

I don't think even you know what you mean by this. I certainly don't.

I meant that you didn't quote the description directly, so that, when I looked for the description in the retconned parts of the timeline, I didn't find a match...
