Before and After

If there’s one thing I’m taking away from this episode, it’s that in any future portrayed by a temporal paradox the crew of a starship do not believe in time travel and they will try to find any other number of reasons for their experiences. This was a nice change of pace for Kes too, she was in the thick of the action for the whole episode – which is a change.

Amazingly, in what I think is a first for Star Trek, Kes’ trips through time teach us a valuable lesson about an upcoming enemy – sadly our crew will never learn the lessons and the Year of Hell will come to fruition.
