A Year of Hell from ST Voyager

The only problem I had with Year of Hell is that Janeway sent all her people out into the quadrant with the specs for temporal shielding. So all those shuttlecraft, escape pods, etc, wouldn’t have been subject to the final destruction of the time ship, and the shockwave righting everything wouldn’t have effected them.

So there would be duplicates of half the crew out there.

yep, it's something that has been bothering me ever since. Still a fantastic, mind bending episode

True story.

My gripe with “Year of Hell” is my general gripe with the series, even though one may chalk it up to it being a product of the times.

The “Year of Hell” should have taken about 26 episodes, not two.

You must enjoy the newer trek shows then?

I recognize that some have their flaws, but generally, yes. I like that storylines can be drawn out through multiple episodes and balanced with single-episode stories. Being less episodic is not a source of newer Trek’s problems.

Interesting. For me the only newer trek I enjoy is SNW, but I think just I find constant cliffhangers too stressful. Each to their own!

no no the problem with that is when the premise is stretched too thin it becomes unbearable because every episode ends on a cliffhanger because there's no resolution so it's a 'blue balls' situation.

Then you never go back and rewatch it because you can't just pick out one favourite episode - you have to watch the full season to get the payoff.
