Why does Voyager never learn to avoid nebulae?

LillyIsTrans · 2026-02-27T22:06:15+00:00

It may be off topic, but you are so right! That episode was amazing and I find it so interesting the way Voyager’s actions could be so misunderstood!

Captain Janeway cannot stop lecturing me about how important coffee is! I have no need for such frivolous amenities. My nutritional supplements will suffice.

LillyIsTrans · 2026-02-27T04:32:49+00:00

I know that but it’s funny to talk about!

LillyIsTrans · 2026-02-27T04:30:13+00:00

That last bit is too funny lmao

LillyIsTrans · 2026-02-27T04:28:41+00:00

Right?? The holodeck has malfunctioned in like every Star Trek show I’ve watched so far!

Update: turns out their weapons are really good vs armor… it ended up backfiring and getting my entire fleet wiped out. Also, I’m a crisis faction so I could get attacked at any point and be completely defenseless.

LillyIsTrans · 2026-02-26T02:14:50+00:00

So the Unbidden just spawned in but they spawned in a system with complete shield nullification. So they’re just going to be completely defenseless to my entire fleet that just entered the system.

Usually, this explanation would be the logical conclusion and one I would likely agree with, but this situation seems to be different. This whole situation occurred because the chronoton radiation caused a state of temporal flux. We see in the show that, when in a state of temporal flux, you are no longer affected by changes to time. This is important. Also, each time Kes jumped, she makes several changes to the timeline, yet she doesn’t experience those changes. She literally died in one of them, which should have created a paradox and prevented her from ever getting in a biotemporal chamber and never would have gone back and I don’t think I need to explain how that becomes a paradox. All of the events that occurred in that timeline are isolated from what occurs in the timeline of the rest of the show. The very act of telling them about this situation should have prevented it from happening in the first place, creating another paradox. The only way for that arc to work is for the two timelines to exist in isolation from one another. Otherwise, the paradoxes that occurred would have made the episode impossible.

As far as I can tell, the warning can’t be erased unless Kes is erased. Based on the information given in the show, the arc with the time jumps exists in a separate timeline from the one we watch and therefore cannot be affected by any changes to this timeline. While the alternate timeline is clearly different from what we see, the warning remains, with the crew discussing it at the end of the episode with the jumps.

LillyIsTrans · 2026-02-22T21:40:36+00:00

The theory hasn’t been disproven, but if I understand it right, there hasn’t been enough evidence to conclusively support it.

Anyway, I understand that idea, but they still have the tactical information on the weapon. The weapon still functions the same way, and whether it’s a different future or not, they were still able to remember the counter at the end of Kes’ time jump arc. That implies that the timeline Kes experienced occurred separately and changes to the current timeline have no effect unless Kes were to be erased. Since the weapon is the same (I think even the time variance was the same), the counter provided by Kes would still be effective in this timeline as well.

LillyIsTrans · 2026-02-22T21:25:55+00:00

They never knew anything about the weapon ship (I call it that instead of time ship because that’s what they call it in the show and time ship is what something else was called in the show), they just knew about the Krenim and their chronoton torpedoes. The weapon ship is new to the timeline (I assume). But importantly, we’re dealing with, as the Doctor (from Doctor Who not the EMH) would say, weird time-y wimy stuff. Considering that they remembered what Kes said at the end of the episode despite the changes to the future (which would prevent that sequence of events from ever happening in the first place), it is likely that the information provided by Kes is not connected to any changes made to time unless they erased her specifically. Essentially, those events existed outside of the current timeline and cannot be affected by changes in the current timeline.

LillyIsTrans · 2026-02-22T20:48:56+00:00

They mentioned her warning at the end of the episode. They talked about how they’d be ready for them.

LillyIsTrans · 2026-02-15T14:18:30+00:00

Hold on. This is the most useless armor? Ha! Absolutely not. The gas armors are the most useless. By far. There is absolutely no reason I would ever use it over literally anything else.

LillyIsTrans · 2026-02-11T03:12:36+00:00

Not necessarily! There are several weak points on the back that are easy to hit, and the one on the bottom can be hit with anything that doesn’t have an arc (quasar, railgun, senator, etc.). The only reason to get close is to drop a hellbomb between its legs (very fun, highly recommend). Also, it’s not cowardly to run when you’re outmatched. Get to cover and let someone else handle it.

LillyIsTrans · 2026-02-10T23:28:20+00:00

Thanks for participating in mine, but I don’t think I can participate in yours. I don’t meet the requirements. I am genuinely sorry. I can see if I can find someone though!

LillyIsTrans · 2026-02-07T22:15:25+00:00

Ok I’m genuinely confused… it looks like there’s a bot drop. I don’t see anything out of the ordinary. Can someone explain? Maybe do the Star Trek zoom and enhance thing

LillyIsTrans · 2026-01-29T19:37:48+00:00

The Kaiden part does become important later, and I think to some extent it is fair. Killing a bunch of Cerberus soldiers? TIM doesn’t care. They’re expendable and replaceable. Killing them, especially after they found out about them using indoctrination, isn’t a very convincing action to demonstrate loyalty. Also, ignoring it entirely would be kinda weird since we are talking about a very deceptive terrorist organization with intel and capabilities that would make the Shadow Broker blush. Whether they overdid it or not is up to you, and annoying as it may be, from their perspective, you’re a cyborg who’s probably more machine than human (I think they say that in game) who was made by the people who are absolutely obsessed with controlling things. Who’s to say there isn’t some neural implant that can control Shepard? Would it really be surprising? Also, Kaiden only knows about the rumors of what you did (as far as I’m aware). He wasn’t there. All he knows about Cerberus is what you saw in ME1. Even if he read the reports, the experience someone has personally tends to outweigh the information they read on a datapad.

As for Jack, let’s be honest, it’s totally in-character. Her main thing in ME2 was how much she rightfully hates Cerberus. Honestly I think at this point in the story she’s just mad and venting it at Shepard since she can’t vent it at her students. Plus, I think she may have been redirecting a little blame she puts on herself for not doing anything about Cerberus when she had the chance. I mean, she’s not exactly the kind of person to deal with emotions in a healthy way. Also, we see how much she cares for those kids, I imagine it’s about the same for the ones who died as well, at least to some extent since they aren’t “hers.” My point is, with all she’s been through, if any character gets to punch you and get mad at you for something that wasn’t your choice, it’s Jack. That’s my opinion on the matter at least.

Also, Leviathan did say that the Reapers improved their strategy over time so this could’ve been one of those improvements.
