Well, if you're read the great link lately, you'll find that Voyager is coming home mid-season, with the second half of the season containing "Star Trek episodes like we've never seen before." It has also been rumoured that the last 13 episodes of Voyager (the 2nd half of the season) are to be joined together into one massive arc. I think this holds alot of promise for Voyager going out with the best episodes its ever done. I think we might hear again from the nanoprobe virus the borg were creating, and we would have plenty of time to see the development of the federation's first slipstream/transwarp drive. I think it'd be great if Voyager showed us a UFP changed by the most devastaing war in UFP history. For 200 years, the feds have been living in a virtual paradise, with only minor conflicts with neighboing races, most of which only took place on colony worlds. But with the dominion, the was covered Betazed, Benzar, and went all the way to Earth. I think the feds would be very changed by a war like this. They'd proabably be alot more militaristic, and isolationist. The feds would also have been wekened by the war. With their own devastation, and the klingons not being able to threaten anyone for "a decade," the romulans would be a much greater thrreat. Also, whatever happened to cardassia? Were any more of the family anf friends of the voyager crew killed in the war? Beyond this, what ill happen to 7 of 9 in the AQ? To Neelix? To Naomi? To the Doctor?

Well, presumably, Naomi will live w/ her parents (assuming her father's still around).

Some things I heard: - Episode 11 and 12, called 'Vengeance'. Features the return of the Vaad'waur. - Last 1/3 of the season is in the Alpha Quadrant.

Who are the Vaud'waar again?

The Vaad'Waur were those aliens seen in "Dragon's Teeth" that were woken up after 892 years to find out that that their once powerfull ships are now ancient relics. Before the end of the episode, several ships escaped into the "Underspace", leaving the possibility of a comeback open.
As for Season seven spoilers, I heard that Samantha Wildman is going to be killed off and Seven has to help Naomi deal with the grief of losing her mother.
Another rumor I heard was that Chakotay will be in contact (via the Interlink he used in "Scorpion") with the assimilated Janeway while in Unimatrix Zero and they might finally "get a little closer"

OH MY GOD! Have the writers lost their minds if many of these rumors are ture!! Why kill of Sam, and what the hell happend to Gene Roddenbery's of a happy and safe Federation? Did it die with him? I know that conflict is good, but too much is overkill...

Posted by Trip Tucker (Member # 297) on :
I know! I hope THIS rumor isn't true. I love Sam Wildman's character. It would be just too much. If they're gonna kill off somebody, make it Carey. I never really liked that guy. It would tie up the reasons for not seeing him around. As for not seeing people, whatever happened to Vorik? That guy rocks!
*funny thought* Wouldn't it be funny if Vorik ever hooked up with Tal Celes? I mean, she's such a clumsy ditz and Vorik is Mr.Know-it-all. That would be hillarious! Vorik, Celes and Telfer are my fave characters.

That's funny. I recently speculated that Samantha Wildman died a long time ago, and that Seven was to Naomi what Data was to Timothy in TNG (y'know, the girl wants to become a logical Borg so that she doesn't have to deal with the grief...)

I don't know if I care whether or not they return to Earth before the end of the season. If they do return half way through the season, though, the rest of the season BETTER be a continuous arc and it BETTER be episodes like we've never seen before. Otherwise, they'll just be stuck in Feddie space with nothing to do. If they get involved in Feddie plot or struggle or something, it needs to be directly related to their homecoming or something they've done in the DQ. They can't just arrive in Feddie space, hurah, then on to a completely different premise that then proceeds to play out for half a season. The focus needs to stay on their trip home and what they've done while they were away.

Posted by Mikey T (Member # 144) on :
Well, since Voyager collected a lot of data (and was "damaged" so many times), I'd say that the first few episodes will deal with going through the data and the damage logs. But that's after what Starfleet decides on the Maquis situation...

I really don't see the Maquis thing being an issue. Oh, they tried to make some vague rumblings about it in the last "let's contact the Alpha Quad." episode, but really. These people have completely submerged themselves into the Starfleet lifestyle. I'd find it a bit unbelievable for Command to lock them all up when they get home. They'd be heroes, remember, in a Federation that could use some heroes.
I bet they would issue full pardons to the Maquis and make them full members of starfleet. But those few who were on the Equinox, I bet they give them some sort of punishment.
------------------ It doesn't matter if you don't know what you're doing as long as you look good doing it.
Posted by Sol System (Member # 30) on :
Hmm. I think the Equinox people are pretty safe. They ARE being officially punished. Janeway has that authority. Now, if the captain of the Equinox had been rescued, I could see him being faced with a court martial upon returning home. But for the rest of them, I think Starfleet will consider Janeway's actions as their official response to the matter. (And, of course, there are those of you who say that she'll be court martialed instead. )

I'm with Sol on the Maquis story. It would be to unbelieveable now.
As to the Vard'waur, I hope they found one of the Borg Cubes with all the drones dead. Be nice to see what they could do with it.

Posted by Sol System (Member # 30) on :
You know, I was thinking along similar lines. Namely, about captured Borg cubes. But I don't think its possible. I mean, there aren't, or _shouldn't be_ any physical controls on a Borg ship. (At least, none that have any relavence if you're not also plugged into the thing directly. Look, I saved continuity! ) So while the, er, cobra-headed guys might be able to grab some keen technology from the ship, I highly doubt they'd be able to use it without actually being assimilated.
