History Recap / StarTrekVoyagerS2E1The37s

* BBCQuarry: Voyager lands in the US version (UPN Quarry?). This is Bronson Canyon which is part of Griffith Park; frequently used for alien worlds in various ''Star Trek'' shows.

* DatedHistory: It was [[http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-43323944 declared in 2018]] that Earhart's remains were found on a Pacific island. However this is [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amelia_Earhart#Gardner_Island_hypothesis still open to debate]].

* ArtisticLicenseBiology: The episode is set on a planet with an oxygen-argon atmosphere, but all the humans can breathe fine there with no protective equipment because of... something.
** (Earth) Air has oxygen, nitrogen, and argon. Argon itself is not toxic and is breathable, with the only difference between air and an oxygen-argon combination would be that it was slightly more dense.

* SciFiWritersHaveNoSenseOfScale:
** Think about it. ''Really'' think about it. Aliens that can go at practical speeds across the galaxy to enslave humans, despite the many stronger aliens that were right in the Delta Quadrant. On top of that, no one else has ever heard of these aliens?
** There's also Tom Paris's attempt to translate ''Voyager'''s speed into AFormYouAreComfortableWith, resulting in an estimate of "about 4 billion miles per second." This could be a {{Watsonian}} error. Regardless, it's quite wrong: Warp 9.975, the ship's stated maximum, is about 6,400 times the speed of light; "4 billion miles a second" is ''21,500'' times, and would have reduced the ship's 70-year journey to about 3.5 years.

* WritersCannotDoMath: Tom apparently does unit conversions by naming random large numbers. If maximum warp is as fast as he claims, then ''Voyager'' should be able to make the journey home in about 3 and a half years, invalidating the entire premise of the show (but see Headscratchers).

* YouKeepUsingThatWord: VOY excessively uses the word "ancient" in this episode to describe the [=20th=] Century. Also, Torres says that SOS is an "ancient Earth distress call." TNG once referred to SOS by name, without calling it "ancient." Although they do refer to [=19th=] Century {{Western}}s and Gothic horrors as having taken place in the "Ancient West" and "Ancient England".

* SpoilerOpening: "Sharon Lawrence as Amelia Earhart".

* BBCQuarry: Voyager lands in the US version (CBS Quarry?).

''Voyager'' encounters a planet where humans who have been abducted just before World War II were taken to, one of them being a famous figure -- aviator Amelia Earhart.

* FollowThatCar: A StealthPun version; Janeway has Voyager follow the trail of rust, and finds a car.

* DatedHistory: It was [[http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-43323944 determined in 2018]] that Earhart's remains were found on a Pacific island.

* UnusualEars: Janeway tries to convince Fred Noonan he's not on Earth by showing him Kes' PointedEars. Noonan isn't convinced.

* YouKeepUsingThatWord: VOY excessively uses the word "ancient" in this episode to describe the 20th Century. Website/SFDebris pointed out how ridiculous this is, considering that Amelia Earhart's plane is only a few years older than the B-29 that dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima. So, "ancient history" apparently encompasses chariots and thermonuclear weapons for the denizens of the 24th Century.
