--->"Training officer's log, Stardate 607125.6. After the crew's last mission conducting first contact went terribly awry, I fear their failure is tearing them apart. Falling down is easy. It's getting up that takes practice, which is why, as their advisor, it was time to stir things up."

--->"Hey, Rok, how are ya? I don't have much time, so I'll get right to it. I'm sorry we all pushed you to be security officer. I've been told what to do and who to be my whole life, too. I know you're young. You're capable of so much. I want you to be the best at whatever you want. But, to have that chance, I need for you to pay close attention. I attached files with schematics to build a warp matrix and where to find the right dilithium coupler. I tried to do it, but things got complicated. So it's up to you. I know you can do it. The crew believes in you."

Added DiffLines:

* LostAesop: The episode tries to draw a connection between the holodeck puzzle and the temporal disaster both needing teamwork and the crew to pull together in order to solve them. But 'work together' is totally irrelevant to the traditional FoxChickenGrainPuzzle, which just requires one person to deduce the order of necessary movements. (Theoretically, a group working together could completely bypass the intended solution by using the other members to physically restrain the fox and chicken, but that also isn't where the episode is going.)

neither of those is a mythology gag


* MythologyGag:
** The title is a reference to "[[Recap/StarTrekS2E1AmokTime Amok Time]]", though any similarities end there unless you really stretch.
** The plot is similar to the ''Voyager'' episode "[[Recap/StarTrekVoyagerS7E10Shattered Shattered]]", which saw the ship split into different timelines that Chakotay then had to pass through to correct the problem.

* ContrivedCoincidence: Drednok transmitting his program to the ''Protostar'' just happens to coincide with them flying into a tachyon storm and creating a temporal anomaly, disrupting his ability to fabricate a body in all but one iteration.

The crew has to work together to overcome a temporal anomaly that threatens to destroy the ship... despite said anomaly separating them all into individual temporal instances.

* FoxChickenGrainPuzzle: The episode starts with the crew attempting this puzzle on the holodeck. The puzzle is given a bit of added difficulty because the crew actually have to wrangle the chicken and fox. Though they fail to solve it because Dal pulls a RageQuit, Zero catches on to the fact that the items can be carried across the river in either direction.

Though they fail to solve it because Dal pulls a RageQuit, Zero catches on to the fact that the items can be carried across the river in either direction. This plays into the end of the episode, as while Janeway keeps moving ahead in the timelines until she reaches the one closest to normal time, Rok's timeline is the longest and thus can be revisited.



* StatingTheSimpleSolution: When Janeway finds that Rok has reconstituted her program and assembled the warp matrix, she asks why Rok hasn't already fixed the temporal anomaly. Rok says that no one bothered to tell her ''where'' the warp matrix goes, the rest of them simply having understood that as a matter of course.



* TheUnReveal: Janeway only vaguely claims that Rok spent "too long" in her version of the ''Protostar'' when Gwyn asks how much time she spent alone.

* AlreadyDoneForYou: When Janeway hops into Zero's timeline, Zero reveals they've already deduced the nature of the temporal anomaly and figured out how to correct the problem. Unfortunately, Zero is running on one of the faster timelines, which combined with their limited dexterity means it's up to the rest of the crew to make use of that information.

* SpannerInTheWorks: Drednok's attempted takeover would have had much better odds had the temporal anomaly not left him in an iteration of the ship with the one person he is incapable of harming.
