A lesson in Temporal Mechanics: When you travel backwards through time, you create an alternate timeline just with your presence in the past. If you stay out of history's way, then the two timelines will be parralle. When you return to the moment in time in which you left, you are returning to the alternate present, not the prime, just because you created the alternate by going back in the first place.

in answer to yukiz1fan, the funny part is that it is not Captain Braxton in the time ship they destroy here, if memory serves me correctly Henry Starling played by Ed Begley, Jr was in the time ship. Hence why the celebration scene was so funny. Anyway, brilliant spoof on the actual events.

In that episode she should've said no to braxton and tried the kirk time travel method since they were already back at earth. i like how trek denies previous movies, or episodes existing, like the possibility of time travel without braxton's help.

*Janeway opens communications to 20th century Earth* "This is EMPRESS Janeway. You will follow my instructions or we will begin vaporizing your cities!"

i think i figured it out. if someone altered time such as with voyager. as soon as old janeway sent new janeway back to the alpha quadrant it would have eliminated old janeway because that version of her would never have existed so she would not go back in time. the only way i can think of that it might work is if captain janeway does the same thing as old janeway did even though she is not the same janeway......?! ow my head hurts.

It always seemed to me that since voyager debris was found in the 29th century, all they had to do was not be anywhere near the time ship when it departed and everything would work out. Taking a holiday seems like it would have been the safest thing to do.

Voyager took ages to return, during which time Tuvok was afflicated by something and went pretty much insane. The captain travelled back in time and got Voyager into the Borg tunnels so she could use those to get home.

Hahaha. The way the last part was timed was so devious. "Hahaha, he has an emiter now, but there won't be any problem shoving him back into the computer!" Doctor: "Wait, what?" Hahahah! *cling*

Dangerous of course, but Janeway, or anyone in Starfleet and the Federation would never kill a person just to get back home.

Great cut to the laugh over a toast!

MAN, I would hate to be Braxton. First he dies here, then he gets trapped in the 1970s, then he gets held three times in the brig of the time ship Relativity in the episode, "Relativity".

Here is the Back To The Future flaw: Theoretically, you can travel to the past. But you cannot travel to the future without removing yourself from the present. If you travel to the future, you will not have an alternate self like you would if you traveled to the past, hence you donot create an alternate timeline unless you return to the past sometime before you went into the future. Back To The Future becomes an alternate reality in the first film.

ST Voyager is one of the best ever released ST series.Even I am total fan of ST Voyager - because it has unique story, unique characters (Captain Janeway, Tuvok and others) and unique story line.I watched first episodes 10 years ago on our national TV here in Croatia.Because I love ST Voyager because it has one beautiful message : "People are travelers, because life is one unique journey" ST Voyager is finally great great show and for me it's unforgotten. My life is voyage(r).

looks like the federation will be formed a little bit sooner! its cool to think that voyager is hanging out in orbit right now as we type!

You need to wake up space is big and dangerous you can't always be nice.

Using the recording of 'Our Prayer' from Brian Wilson's "Smile" album was a nice touch.

They just beamed off of 1990s Earth.

Slingshot effect. It worked for Kirk on several occasions.

I was a fan of Star Trek Voyager from the first episode! Gradualy I collected the entire series. The expansion of the Doctor helped make the show real special, in my view. :) Him and Seven of Nine are my two favourite charachters in this show.

LOL! I love it... It's so not what would happen, but that's why it's great!!!!! GOOD JOB!!!

Lol, i had honestly never occurred to me that if Voyager had stayed in the 20th century they could have simply used the sling shot effect around the sun to arrive back home in the 24th century and still be back at Earth. Why not? It worked for Kirk.

@Beef1188 Yes, that's true, but they still had duties as Starfleet officers. They couldn't just violate strategic advantages [such as crippling the Borg] because of their own inconvenience. That's why every piece of tech that got them where they were going would be ignored if they had to violate protocol to obtain/use it. It's duty versus desire.

lol excellent - its like they just went "f**k that!" and blew him away...very good.

I agree on Zim. The only way to actually restore the prime time lime is to prevent yourself from going back in time to create the alternate time lime. Well that's the theory on what I think anyway..

It would have eliminated old Janeway in her future time, but not her future self in the present time (if you believe how time paradoxes are suppose to work)

a little cowboy diplomacey? he he

If I was a Crew member, I take some shyt with me, including schematics of every star ship, locations of other planets in the Federation, stayed on earth, invented some shyt and got rich.

HAHA " Sorry, temporal prime directive...." eat it Janeway!!!

@Gordon242011 because the show was about them getting home and if they got home the show would end because they reached their obejective and the climax of the show

Haha. It's like she blew Braxton up so they could all stay. This is pretty cute.

LOL HILARIOUS! I agree the cut to the champagne toast is priceless! :)

yet another moment where they could have just used the sun to sling shot time jump or whatever like Kirk did in the movies. but whatever. the plot demands them suffer.

I am a huge fan of Star Trek. But with one of the primary story arcs being time travel, How much of Star Trek is really an alternate timeline? I'll give you one clue: In Star Trek IV, the probe would have destroyed Earth if Kirk didn't go back in time to repopulate the humpback whale species, hence creating an alternate timeline. "17 seperate temporal violations." "The largest file on record." "The man was a menace."

omg i love Voyager... this is geneous lol great work lol...

@newfreshreview Versus the crew of the Equinox took that path, of 'screw it all I wanna get home no matter what' which led to their demise. (The aliens woulda taken them out if Voyager hadn't stumbled on them in the nick of time)

I like it, it was pretty amusing.

Braxton actually tries to destroy Voyager because of the "Janeway factor". He believes she has no regard for the temporal prime directive after he becomes insane.

I got lost when you shifted the storyline to the doc being able to move around. I was expecting to see the very last episode where the enterprise comes thru a wormhole and is back close to earth surrounded by other starfleet vessels.

If you disrupt the timeline by anything other than your presence, the two parralell* (mispelling corrected) timelines will continue to split, causing history to change so that it will not follow established events. If you could change certain events from happening, what would the present be like?

star trek voyager, (excepting the time displacement episodes and several borg episodes, which were in total opposition with what the borg where intended to be) was quite nice.

"cheers" "cheers" "Noobigins" wait...what did the doctor say at the toast :D

bit of a wafer thin excuse if you ask me. Certainly doesnt strike me as the sort of thing they would shy away from if it meant getting home. All the more so when we take into account how they get home in the end - messing with the timeline...

I guess Braxton didn't see that one coming. Looks like his time ran out. Lol Janeway rules!

Holy crap. I just realized this video is over 12 years old!! Still alive i hope!

@kvn8907 Exactly what I was thinking. Think of the enterprise series, now imagine them being alone in the voyager. SHITS ABOUT TO GET REAL SON.

i lvoed that episode i can watch it over and over..

That was good, Its how I would have done it. Screw that time ship, im going home now !

i dont even know whats going on here, but i actually giggled out loud. dont tell anyone...

The intro is just plain startling.

Interesting, I'll give it that. I guess basically this wouldn't work, 'cos the future humans would keep coming back to correct it, because Voyager being in the Delta Quadrant for 7 years has already happened for them, long ago. Wouldn't matter how many they send back. If they know Janeway was gonna blow up Braxton, they just go back, warn Braxton and his people and Braxton would know to go back in a beefier ship and what to expect. Short and sweet, don't mess with those who know your future.

@MrThomasCWest In this case, maintaining universal timeline 'purity' is of no value, unless it is to protect something worse from happening. But, even then, you introduce multiple moral paradoxes. If I do not save them, millions will live, but these people will still die. It is morally wrong to let these people die. I must prevent things that are morally wrong from occurring. Therefore, I must do both. The only moral conclusion is to send a 'message in a bottle' in the hopes we prevent both.

Don't you just love time paradoxes!

It doesn't matter, Tuvix went willingly in the end anyway

ok, what alternate ending? that wasn't an alternate ending. they just cut one scene and put it in front of another.

Hilarious!!! I would title it... " Janeway says 'f*ck the prime directive'"

Terran Voyager? I like it!

thats the spirit.

That was hilarious! Great!

This was kinda funny I like it.

@TheKonohaWhiteFang7 nah, the recent star trek movie takes place in an alternate universe. all the old canon trek still happened.

That's friggin' awesome!

yeah no kiddin go back... fuck that im here i find way back to the future *they always do lol*

WOOO!! And Voyager continued on to enslave the Galaxy.

i liked that, good job

I agree should have ended it right there at "to the future"

The funny thing is the second they got intercepted by temporal agents should have been their first realization that they made it back to the alpha quadrant otherwise how would they have known about them?

lol Braxton got owned

The ending was classic.

That's true but they would do it if they were desperate.

An alternate timeline would involve changing the past. Kirk didn't change the past by bringing two whales from the past into his present time, (besides changing whale geneology a little). He changed the future that hadn't happened yet.

Janeway wouldn't do something like this, for sure, but the best part of this video is when the video abruptly cuts out and they are all toasting. Highly illogical... buy funny as hell.

ok, in the "alternate storyline" Voyager blew up the timeship, and I guess remained in the past?

I think you give Voyagers writers to much credit. Janeway has show disregard for the timeline multiple times - in fact the finally do get home by breaking the temporal prime directive in End Game.

@CaptainJahangir99 I highly doubt it was classified. I mean they held a public trial at the end where they were all thanked for saving the planet, and kirk is no science officer, i doubt he would be the only person with knowledge of the sling shot time travel. It wasnt a violation of the prime directive, since the last time i checked the prime directive didnt govern time travel, but rather inference with pre warp cultures or internal affairs of other cultures. This was just bad writing.

the best star trek is voyager lol good job

I'm disappointed.. After reading about a combination of Vodka, Pizza, and sheer insanity i was expecting something random and dumb. This made too much sense....

@Gunslinger800 LOL, looks like the writers for all the later Star Trek series forgot about that little trick!

Hahahah! I love that! Hilarious! thanks so much

I've checked, Our Prayer/Gee by Brian Wilson

that's a funny idea, I never like Braxton anyways ;)

what where you on when you made this?

Spock: "To hell with your orders" slingshots around the sun, back in the 24th century. Voyager over. Too bad Tuvok isnt as smart as Spock.

@dominocore Funny thing Kirk never had to follow one lol

@brch2 True enough, but they could always let it not happen. Simply done because future peoples time had the Voyager blow up future braxton, so if they stopped him from going back, 'cos they'd know who he is when he joins future time agency/federation, whatever it is. It would stop him from dying, Voayger from screwing stuff up, more than likely alter the timelime and probably even... oh no, I've gone crosseyed...

@MrThomasCWest The only explanation I've seen to the standard 'don't get involved' policy involves the rights of people to not suffer 'culture shock', which as is historically known to occur when a 'more advanced' society introduces technology (see Neil Postman's work, along with Marshall McLuhan's), and which can destroy societies and cultures--time is completely different, unless otherwise proven. Starfleet breaks the guidelines when they need to, because 'life' is more precious than 'time'.

@MrThomasCWest in Star trek going back and forth in time never created an alternate reality. changed the timeline sure but it was still the same universe. hint: if Kirk created 17 separate temporal violations then the timeline he created would not know of them, all they would see is Kirk disappearing and never returning if he went to the past again 'the shortest file on record' 'the man was likely killed' also we see time changing before out eyes in universe, like in First Contact (Borg Earth

Judging by intro music I'd say it was conceived from romulan ale alone. Nice video anyway.

That was great xD

hahahahahah this is so funny

lol... loved it.

gusse no buddy seen the "true" ending. The person made this video took the last 5 mins of the ending chop it up to look like janeway fired on Braxton instead of that guy that stole the time ship. Note the head wound to janeway in the first 10 secs. She got that from firing the torpedo at that guy the stole the time ship not at Captain Braxton. VIDEO EDITING FOR THE WIN But i say captain Braxton deserved it later on.

Too much time traveling in Voyager and they made the Borg look like a pathetic clowns

LOL. Good on them.

Oh my...

lol...random toast

yes

or they could have just gone home on episode 1.

@Sheripenho It's Season 3 and the Episode is "Future's End" it's two parts

Surely after voyager returned from the delta quadrant… with the delta flier in tow… voyager was superior to enterprise and all other star fleet ships… I’m not sure Jane way would let her go so easy… she states in year of hell… voyager carried her and the crew… voyager is the true hero

Ok here's what I don't get. Here Braxton says he doesn't remember that timeline, but in the Episode "Relativity" he says he does remember it...
