While it was a fairly well done episode, I'm still undecided on what exactly the point of "11:59" was. Im interested in everyone else's opinion on whether there was a point and if so, what was its relevance to Voyager's journey home?

"Star Trek in contemporary times" is probably the point Braga was going for: overcoming odds and moving toward the future, while keeping the ideals and values of a family and a town on track.
It's a background- and character-builder. That's my two cents.

Yeah, that sums it up pretty good. Nice to see a show where progress isn't considered some evil thing.
I don't think there was any real relevance to the crew's getting home -- and there didn't have to be. The show is better off when they don't focus on that.

Ok, we've established that it had no relevance to their journey home, rather for character development......but what relevance does this women 15 generations removed really have on her character?
