History Recap / StarTrekVoyagerS5E23Relativity

* LetMeGetThisStraight: Janeway trying to figure out the temporal paradox she's caught up in. Especially the part where she has to arrest Braxton even though they've just done so, and there's already a third Braxton in ''Relativity'''s brig. Ducane telling her that all three Braxtons will be reintegrated for the trial nearly breaks her brain.

** As well as to [[Recap/StarTrekVoyagerS3E8FuturesEnd "Future's End"]] and [[Recap/StarTrekVoyagerS5E6Timeless "Timeless"]] when Braxton chews Janeway out over her temporal violations. Incidentally, Braxton mentions cleaning up ''three'' of Janeway's temporal violations. Two future episodes, Recap/StarTrekVoyagerS7E10Shattered and Recap/StarTrekVoyagerS7E23Endgame, could be the third.

* FaceRevealingTurn: The episode appears to be starting with an ordinary flashback scene. Then Past!Janeway waves aside an ensign bent over a console. It's Seven of Nine.

* ShootTheMessenger: Chakotay tells Janeway not to do this.

** In "Counterpoint", Janeway said she's on a FirstNameBasis with certain Starfleet admirals. This is true with Admiral Patterson who addresses her as "Katie" and treats her like a teacher with a favorite student.

* ThatsAnOrder: Braxton orders Seven to avoid contact with Janeway. [[TemptingFate As if.]]

'''Janeway:''' Have we met?\\

* CallBack: To ''Film/StarTrekFirstContact'' as an example of one type of TimeyWimeyBall.

** And speaking of "Future's End", Janeway visibly gets a major headache when Ducane explains the temporal weirdness to her.

** It seems to be implied that somehow the weapon out of temporal phase will "always" be present on the ship after it's planted from the building of Voyager to it's destruction, except in the short instance where it's shortly before the time when the saboteur places the weapon in it's location. So in this instance of the TimeWimeyBall, you can go to any time in Voyager's existence and view the weapon (if you're a Borg drone or a former drone with a still working visual implant) being there, but during the attack on Voyager by the Kazon is the only time it isn't there because its "just about" to be placed there.

** The temporal disruptor that Braxton plants also causes minor temporal distortions, which cause several ''Voyager'' crew members to suffer symptoms of "space sickness".

'''Janeway:''' Don't start.

* LetMeGetThisStraight: Janeway trying to figure out the temporal paradox she's caught up in.

* GotVolunteered: Seven, to capture Future Braxton. Then Janeway, to clean up after Seven.

Seven of Nine is used by the crew of the future Federation starship ''Relativity'' to find out who is responsible for the sabotage of ''Voyager'' with a temporal weapon that would destroy the ship. After Seven is transported to the date when the saboteur is likely to appear on ''Voyager'', she discovers that the saboteur himself is a future version of Commander Braxton who was stripped of his command and sent to rehabilitation after suffering from temporal insanity. The crew of the ''Relativity'' put both the future and present versions of Braxton in confinement while Captain Janeway is used to stop the saboteur from planting the weapon before Seven interacts with a past version of Janeway to contaminate the timeline.

* TemporalSickness: Repeated use of time travel causes the user to become progressively ill, to the point of being fatal in certain circumstances. One version of Seven is killed this way, forcing the agents to recruit a past!Seven to fill the gap.

* TimeTravel: Courtesy of a temporal transporter system. The episode jumps back and forth between several different time frames. The 'present' is in Season 5 (2375), but the episode opens before the start of the series when ''Voyager'' was in drydock at the Utopia Planitia Shipyard (2371). The sabotage actually occurs during a Kazon attack in Season 2 (2372). And the USS ''Relativity'' and its crew are operating at an unspecified date and time in the 29th Century.

'''Braxton:''' Too many times. But you wouldn't remember, they haven't occurred yet!
