Star Trek Voyager Alternate Ending

Just a random idea that turned into a somewhat hilarious take on a Voyager episode (For all the Star Trek nerds out there like me). Kudos go out to Jim for the editing work. And thanks to Paramount for the excellent show that is Star Trek Voyager...(Incidentally, I hope this is ok). Enjoy!!

I am a huge fan of Star Trek. But with one of the primary story arcs being time travel, How much of Star Trek is really an alternate timeline? I'll give you one clue:

In Star Trek IV, the probe would have destroyed Earth if Kirk didn't go back in time to repopulate the humpback whale species, hence creating an alternate timeline. "17 seperate temporal violations." "The largest file on record." "The man was a menace."

temporal prime directive is for jews anyway

@MrThomasCWest

in Star trek going back and forth in time never created an alternate reality. changed the timeline sure but it was still the same universe. hint: if Kirk created 17 separate temporal violations then the timeline he created would not know of them, all they would see is Kirk disappearing and never returning if he went to the past again 'the shortest file on record' 'the man was likely killed' also we see time changing before out eyes in universe, like in First Contact (Borg Earth

@Gunslinger800 but in star trek they make the warp nacelles emit a special distortion. When combined with the gravity pull of the sun, it fractures space to open the rift. It is eve so slightly feasible, but it's still a controversial trek science.

I don't think simply blowing up the escort ship is the answer. Obviously that ship would be expected back along with taking Voyager back to the Delta quadrant.  When that didn't happen another ship may have been sent out, previous to Voyager destroying the escort ship.

@randomface54 - I know it doesn't work in real life, thanks. It's just that they never used it to "rewind time" as they did in TOS, when it would have come in handy a few times. Already at Earth? Slingshot back and then overrun it to get home to the right century.

[randomface54]

@BKL8008 Yeah, because the slingshot trick around a large mass is actually the trick NASA programs it's unmanned probes with to slow them down so they can enter orbit around other planets (which is why they always take so fucking long to get there since they have to travel much greater distances). It doesn't enable time-travel and is one of Star Trek's greatest achievements in technobabble to date.

[BKL8008]

I don't think Picard, Sisko, or Janeway ever knew about the Breakaway/Slingshot Effect.

[dizzleblackizzle]

yeah fuck the tempo-police

[Gordon242011]

@Gordon242011 because the show was about them getting home and if they got home the show would end because they reached their obejective and the climax of the show

[Gordon242011]

@Gunslinger800 if they had done that and all the thing suggested below the show would be over and the writers didnt want that they needed to keep it going so they could make their profits people got to put food on the table lol

@MrThomasCWest In this case, maintaining universal timeline 'purity' is of no value, unless it is to protect something worse from happening. But, even then, you introduce multiple moral paradoxes. If I do not save them, millions will live, but these people will still die. It is morally wrong to let these people die. I must prevent things that are morally wrong from occurring. Therefore, I must do both. The only moral conclusion is to send a 'message in a bottle' in the hopes we prevent both.
