Star Trek: 10 Most Mind-Bending Spatial Anomalies

Or the 'Seska Never Stays Dead' Anomaly

Voyager seemed to be especially unlucky when it came to catastrophically world-warping anomalies. This time, how about one that looks like a gaping, angry wound on the otherwise smooth flesh of space, oozing large amounts of chronitons and neutrinos? The sudden chronokinetic surge this spatial rift spits forth then shatters the space-time continuum throughout Voyager and inside Chakotay as well. For a moment there, the Commander had "the liver of and 80-year-old man and the kidneys of a 12-year-old boy".

All that's just a regular day at the office compared to the Starfleet Christmas party of chaos that comes next. The whole thing is basically Voyager's greatest hits album — buy now before temporal realignment! On the bridge, Voyager is still in the Alpha Quadrant, whilst down in astrometrics, Naomi and Icheb are all grown up. Captain Proton is back… Captain Proton-ing (?), and there's even a macrovirus thrown in for good measure.

The most difficult thing to get your mind around when it comes to temporal anomalies is what happens next. Well, that and keeping the Antarian cider secret. As Captain Janeway puts it after the 'normal' space-time continuum is restored, "It's strange, thinking there's a piece of your life you don't know anything about". It sure is, but then, as all Starfleet officers should know, strange and weird are part of the job!
