Yes - I'm so with you that Kes warned them ages before about the whole thing. Although I'm amazed that Voy attempted continuity for *anyhting* (quite clearly, they wrote the script and then someone thought 'hmm, that's a goood idea for a story' and then promptly FORGOT). VOY not great on continuity - my all time favourite was when Chuckles had a moment with Janeway late in the game and said 'you always fiddle with your comm badge when you're nervous'. HELLO WHAT? I mean, they shot multiple eps at the same time - how hard can it have been to insert that one in a bit earlier?!

late-season one where Chakotay starts traveling through time with a season-one Janeway

Yeah that was frakkin A! Especially because even after it became the Seven/Janeway show, the little OTP could warm the cockles of my heart with barely a mention. And she asked him if there was ever more to their relationship! O early!Janeway, how you are wise and beautiful!

I really liked some of the early Seven storylines but then she became painfully dull.

Now I want the dvds to line my shelves in their shininess... just as I was convincing myself I didn't like Voyager anymore...

Happy holidays though xxx
