192: But It Never Really Happened

Voyager Continuity.   Voyager is sometimes criticized for not having the same degree of continuity as Deep Space Nine or Enterprise. But in this episode of To The Journey, hosts Kay Shaw, Suzanne Williamson, and Zachary Fruhling discuss various examples of continuity in Voyager, from callbacks to previous episodes to continuity with the rest of the Star Trek universe. Together Kay, Suzanne, and Zachary argue that, despite all-too-frequent use of the dreaded episodic reset button, Voyager has its own unique brand of storytelling continuity that serves the development of Voyager's overall tale.   Chapters  Intro (00:00:00)  The Dreaded Voyager Reset Button (00:02:21)  The Kazon and "Shattered" (00:04:49)  Vidiians and Dr. Pel - Voyager's Reputation in the Delta Quadrant (00:12:03)  Relationships on Voyager - Continuously Going Nowhere (00:14:34)  Q Cubed - Voyager's Continuity with the Expanded Star Trek Universe (00:17:03)  "Year of Hell" - Is Voyager (Dis)-Continuity Dissatisfying?
