Once in a while, the writers on Star Trek will throw us an absolute blinder of an episode and this is one of them. The episode opens, some 700 years into the future after Voyager's journey in the Delta Quadrant. We watch a simulation of Voyager at an alien museum, but this is not the Voyager we've come to know - it's a warship and the crew are a ruthless bunch that will not hesitate to murder someone just to make a point. The only person who can put the record straight is the Doctor who is present in the form of a backup copy in the hands of the museum curator who manages to bring him back to life. (That last point is the only thing that bothers me about this episode, since when did the Doctor have a backup copy??)
