History YMMV / StarTrekVoyagerS5E1Night

* ValuesResonance: 22 years after its original airing, this episode became relevant in 2020, due to several socio-political events, including the COVID-19/Coronavirus global pandemic, most of all. The crew, much like populations all over the world, are forced to contend with waiting out a phenomenon that would take many months to see to completion; unfortunately, for Voyager's crew, they are already on-edge two months into the journey because of the repetitive tedium and loss of interesting or important maintenance activities.
** Not to mention, of course, that the issue of wealthy polluters refusing to investigate/implement viable green alternatives due to being interested only in their profit margins is only getting ''more'' depressingly relevant.

* CompleteMonster: Controller Emck is a freighter captain for the Malon, an alien species that has technology comparable to the Federation, but also produces a large amount of toxic waste. While other Malon Controllers dump their toxic waste in uninhabited areas of space, Emck has found a vortex that leads to the void, a patch of space with no stars far away from Malon Prime. When Emck begins to release toxic gas into the void, the Night Aliens, who are native to the void, beg him to stop, but Emck refuses, [[{{Greed}} caring more about his profit margins]] than the innocent beings he is killing. Emck's superior technology is too much for the Night Aliens to defeat, and Emck plans to continue to use their space as a dumping ground as long he can, not caring if all the Night Aliens die in the process. When the Night Aliens ask for Voyager to help, Voyager offers to give Emck tech that will get rid of the Malon's toxic waste by-product, but Emck [[WithholdingTheCure refuses to accept it]], saying it would put him out of business.

* LifeImitatesArt: 22 years after its original airing, this episode became strangely prescient in 2020, due to several socio-political events, including the COVID-19/Coronavirus global pandemic, most of all. The crew, much like populations all over the world, are forced to contend with waiting out a phenomenon that would take many months to see to completion; unfortunately, for Voyager's crew, they are already on-edge two months into the journey because of the repetitive tedium and loss of interesting or important maintenance activities.
* NightmareFuel: Doesn't get much creepier than ''two years'' of a black, empty void.

** Also counts as an IdiotBall moment since presumably Emck could have made ''far'' more money if he managed to patent the tech in question than he ever could as ''just'' a waste-dumping captain.
