The voyage could've ended in Caretaker

oh god, don't let me live to 90. Let's see if my 90 year old self comes back to slap me for this. "you decided to get fit as an obsession and now you're a senior yogi who surprisingly doesn't wear a diaper. life is good."

What about being 90 and having the body and fitness of a healthy and trim person?

I'd most certainly would provided the world is still comfortably habitable . But that,s another topic. I should better get started. ;-)
 
To the OP, why would the Kazon need to press an attack? With the array destroyed, what was there to gain at that point? Besides the brag factor of defeating an enemy, that is. With the prize gone, so was the need for risking their own necks.

Voyager had just destroyed a "city" ship (coordinating the Peregrine attack, but it was Voyager's op). This no doubt demoralized the Kazon - who couldn't even provide water for goodness' sake, let alone replace a ship.

I highly doubt those stolen Trabe ships were fully occupied considering the Kazon sects were lean and had high mortality rates - and were literally based upon (California) street gang culture. Not Federation-style spacebound cities. Chakotay would not have killed anyone who was not there by choice to live and die as part of that criminal organization - save their children of course, who were well and truly bound to be indoctrinated into that lifestyle, as we saw in Initiations.

My problem with Endgame was that the future had not happened yet for future Janeway to even exist. After it happened, ok - but this was the sort of cheat like saying "I will invent time travel - and to show I've succeeded, visit myself from the future in the next five minutes, to give myself the blueprints of the time machine I will build."

Go ahead - try that!

I pondered that. The moment they decided to change plans would she fade out? I don't know. it's all fiction and rules change to suit plots so I guess there is no point to logic but I like logic so it urks me anyway.
 
Some of the tech admiral Janeway brought with her was incompatible with Voyager.

Either Kathy is a moron with no science background, or she went diagonally to a slightly different Voyager, with slightly different tech that was not as completely compatible with the toys that she brought with her as she thought they would be.

Did she wittingly or unintentionally go diagonally though?

Of course saying that she was a science officer in her mid 20s doesn't exactly mean that Janeway knows shit about the brand new tech that the kids are using by the time she turns 70.

If mulgrew is any indication of her mental capacities, that's true. But I think we've established Janeway's an on screen super geek, also when it suits the plot, so maybe you're wrong or right, I confused myself. ;-)
 
It's not about being on the ball, it's about going back to school every 5 years to check out what's new, reup their certifications and become more qualified, or as qualified as the new kids fresh out of school.

If Doctor's have to keep reading, and attending long weekend seminars to stay up to date, I can only imagine that the same is expected of engineers, if they want to remain relevant and competitive.
