The story behind this is simple: after the VOY episode "Before and After" when the Krenim and a "year of hell" were first mentioned, the writers wanted to do this as a full season. Rick Berman, however, refused to serialize the show so the idea became the two-parter, instead.

But let's use our imaginations. How would/could this have played out? What ideas do you have that could have been fleshed out and made the series better or worse?

For my pitch, let's jump to the ending. A criticism of the season-long storyline is that the audience would hate the inherent reset button. Once the Krenim timeship is destroyed, Voyager is restored, no one remembers anything, and it's like it never happened. Except ... it doesn't have to be that way. In the finale of the two-parter, the crew has been ordered off the ship and only the main cast are still aboard. For the final battle, only Janeway is on Voyager: the rest are on allied vessels to help them. (There could be some good episodes as they try to get allies in the full-season version of this.) So, in my season finale, it plays out mostly as it was in the two-parter, but Chakotay and Lt. Kim (he had been promoted a few episodes prior for his command decisions and bravery) are aboard an allied vessel together ... their temporal shields can't drop in time and are in flux as the Krenim timeship is destroyed. We then see the pristine bridge of Voyager as they approach a simple Krenim scout ship. The crew seem nonchalant about this, but Chakotay jumps up and orders red alert, Kim is ready to raise temporal shields but can't figure out where they've gone, and the rest of the bridge crew are utterly baffled. Chakotay has a beard and dirty uniform; Kim has a scar, a dirty uniform, and a second pip. The Krenim go away but the Doctor confirms: Chakotay and Kim are a year older than they should be and they've suffered multiple (healed) injuries they didn't have before. The year never happened but for these two, it absolutely did. Credits. Obviously, Chakotay and Kim's story would play out into the next season, they grow close together because they remember their hardships, they have to acclimate to life in peacetime, Kim wants to keep his second pip ... Lots of good character stuff going forward for two characters who were largely lacking in good character stuff for much of the show.

What about you? What are your ideas for the season, characters, the ending, whatever?

Counselor Deanna Troi had a lot of great looks over the course of Next Generation tv and films.
From the silly skirt to the full body black & grey.
Which was your favorite one?

A remaster and Tribute to Vex Xiang who created Flash Trek Broken Mirror really enjoyed those games growing up

I did some paintings. I think they are neat.

Who was the Security Chief you could count on most to keep you safe?
Or to defend their ship or station from hostile aliens?
Or to kick some butt in a fight?
PICTURED characters ONLY responses please.

I don’t mind adjustments to continuity, such as the Trill or the Borg not developing exactly as you’d think from our first TNG encounter with them. But every time one of her officers addresses Janeway as Ma’am rather than Captain, I want her to turn around and remind them what she said in Caretaker.

I know that on the USS Excelsior, Commander Janice Rand is the communications officer, but do you think that it's possible that she is also the executive officer? Because she seems to be the next highest-ranking officer after Captain Hikaru Sulu.

Just make sure the person has HONOR!
