This episode is fun, and they got some good guest stars, but “Future’s End” is filled with really basic, integral plot problems. Maybe if the jokes were funnier or the adventure was a little better that wouldn’t have been as big a deal. I guess I’ve just had my fill of a Star Trek cast walking around in current time periods making their smarmy comments.

A federation time traveler from the future says Voyager causes an explosion and he has to destroy Voyager. He says he doesn't have time to explain. Why would a time traveler be short on time? His only evidence is that there was bits of Voyager in the wreckage. So that means Voyager is the cause? And the only way to stop it is to destroy Voyager?

So they end up in 1996. Despite having seen strange aliens and whatnot, people with mohawks blow their minds. And why is Tuvok dressed like that. Did people dress like that in 1996?

Paris meets Sarah Silverman

Paris meets Sarah Silverman. I like that throughout the episode Paris isn’t as proficient as he thinks he is in his ’90s knowledge.

When Paris and Tuvok see Sarah Silverman chasing them, Paris says "red alert!" Haha Paris is such a dork
