    Unfortunately, at least for me, it was the second-worst Voyager episode after the one LD infuriatingly confirmed to be canon. You know which one. I’m not even going to say it.

        Episode spoiler:

        spoiler

        The Voyager crew discover a new type of dilithium (warp core fuel) that can make space ships go faster than the generally accepted limit of warp 10. No one has ever gone faster than that, but it will get the crew home instantly, instead of the 70 year journey it’s currently facing.

        One crew member, Lt. Tom Paris tests it out in a shuttle craft, gets to see “everything everywhere all at once” but then upon return quickly becomes allergic to water and oxygen.

        The Doctor realizes he is evolving into something other than human before he escapes sick bay and kidnaps Captain Janeway for another faster than warp 10 experience. They end up on a swampy planet, turned into giant salamanders and by the time the crew finds them they have already produced three offspring.

        The babies escape capture and presumably go on to sire a race of Janeway/Paris salamander creatures on a distant planet in the Delta Quadrant. Janeway and Paris get turned back into humans and they don’t try breaking warp 10 again. IDK why people don’t like it.

        You won’t me say it. It’s the word for the thing husbands are supposed to carry their bride over when they go home as a married couple for the first time.

        I’m not going further than that.

    • I’m not up on all of the Voyager stuff; it was one of the ST offspring that never resonated with me.

      LD is constantly referring to other series; there’s a vast amount of data to have to skim to guess which you think is the worst; which episode was it that you have allergic reaction to?
