It’s worth acknowledging that time travel in Star Trek has not always been clear-cut. At worst I’d argue we should condemn what she did. That’s the crucial difference, and it’s why Admiral Janeway’s actions are, at best, morally ambiguous. If our characters go back in time to undo some event, it’s usually with a view to preserving or repairing the timeline, not deliberately changing it. Time travel stories in Star Trek typically don’t proceed like Endgame. It was an exciting and explosive way to bring Voyager to an end – and I can hardly believe it’s been twenty years already!Īdmiral Janeway in Endgame – which premiered twenty years ago today. I’ve explained on a few occasions already that time travel stories both within Star Trek and outside the franchise aren’t always my favourites, but despite some of my in-universe criticisms of Janeway and her actions (or maybe because the episode is so morally ambiguous) Endgame is an example of a time travel story that I actually like. Those are the questions on my mind on Endgame’s 20th anniversary! It seems like a great opportunity to finally dig into these issues and consider some pretty deep points from an in-universe point of view. But did she make the right decision by doing so? And was it even her decision to make? Endgame saw Admiral Janeway travel back in time from the year 2404 to 2378 – and deliberately using her knowledge of the future to radically change events for the crew of Voyager. It was a feature-length episode with a complicated story involving time travel and two versions of Janeway! To mark the anniversary, I wanted to look back at the episode – specifically at one of its key storylines. Twenty years ago today saw the premiere of Endgame, bringing Star Trek: Voyager to an end after seven seasons and 172 episodes.
