This would appear to be a fantasy world created by the aliens within their time stream as much as it is an alt3ernate reality- a visit to a parallel universe. It isn't reset at the end, Kim still remembers it- he just doesn't stay there. That's not a reset button any more than Kirk and Co. beaming back from the mirror universe at the end of Mirror, Mirror is.Andrew Gilbertsonhttp://www.nolinecinemas.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-5961995988661018152008-04-02T13:53:00.000-03:002008-04-02T13:53:00.000-03:00Teebore: No, but that should be the function of an...Teebore: No, but that should be the function of any character spotlight episode.<BR/><BR/>Jeff: Janeway doesn't believe in the importance of promotions.

At the very least for the Paris, but I'd say also for the Kim, since, as teebore mentioned, the real one isn't all that interesting.<BR/><BR/>Poor Kim, though. It's not like he did anything all that wrong, ever, but spending seven years as an Ensign is going to kill his Starfleet career stone dead. But even when Paris screws the pooch hard, Janeway would rather grudgingly forgive him than let Harry anywhere near another stripe.

Most egregious was the escaping runabout, which was shot-for-shot identical to the <I>Enterprise</I>-D's escape from the Dyson Sphere in "Relics".Dehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10132196355430345167noreply@blogger.com
