The Doctor is being held hostage. Voyager has been spotted by 20th century news cameras. Starling is still working to launch his timeship, further disrupting the timeline. Can Voyager find a way to stop him and get back to their own time?

The crew encounters a ship from the 29th century that says that Voyager will be responsbile for the destruction of Earth's solar system and therefore must be destroyed. Attempting to flee summary execution sends both ships back to Earth, but also back in time to the 1990s. Can Captain Janeway (and her fabulous 90s power suit disguise) find a way home?

Every week, more Dominion ships are coming through the wormhole. Sisko knows it has to stop and the crew comes up with a daring plan: mine the entrance to the wormhole. They know doing so will precipitate the war they've been dreading, but knowing it make come anyway, starting it now rather than waiting for it may be their only hope of winning.

Knowing the looming conflict with the Dominion weighs on his father, Jake tries to obtain an antique baseball card as a present. But since no good deed goes unpunished, he and Nog are soon sucked into a wacky, madcap series of increasingly ridiculous tasks in pursuit of the card. Don't let the Souless Minions of Orthodoxy win, and listen to this podcast right away.

The Defiant crashes on a planet while investigation its odd atmosphere, and finds a thriving community of several thousand people. They claim to be the descendants of the Defiant crew. Their history records that the Defiant was thrown back in time when it tried to pass through the atmosphere again, and the crew, with no way home, eventually built new lives here. Now, the Defiant crew faces a decision. Do they choose to repeat the accident and maroon themselves, or erase these people from time?

The Cardassians have joined the Dominion. Changeling Bashir has sabtoaged the attempt to seal the wormhole and now it can't be closed. Worf, Garak, and the real Bashir are working on a daring escape attempt from their asteroid prison. So, just a lazy, layabout day here on DS9.

The station receives a coded message that indicates Enabren Tain in fact survived the Obsidian Order's attempt to destroy the Founder's homeworld. Garak knows it might be a fake, but he can't ignore the opportunity. Sisko agree's to let him go, but only if Worf goes with. Best road trip ever.

This episode started life basically as a techinical dare to prove that the modern crew could be seamlessly inserted into a classic TOS episode. Done even a hair less than perfectly, it would look terrible, and even if its technically flawless, they needed to find a way to tell a story that felt satisfying in its own right and didn't damage an existing and beloved TOS story. I'm happy to report they succeeded with flying colors. This one is just a delightful romp. Enjoy!

Season 5 opens with crew trying to unmask the Gowron changeling. Sisko, Worf, O'Brien, and Odo have themselves surgically altered to appear Klingon and infilitrate an awards ceremony they know Gowron will attend. It's dangerous, but may be the only way to stop a war that could destablilize the Alpha Quadrant.

The Kazon lure Voyager into a trap and capture Voyager, stranding them on a barren planet in the Delta Quadrant. We're as surprised as anyone the Kazon successfully executed a plot.
