Star Trek: Voyager - 10 Most Anxiety-Inducing Episodes
9. Relativity
It's time travel time! We all love some time travelling here right? Especially when it's to prevent certain disaster for Voyager. In this episode, Seven is tasked by the Federation Timeship Relativity Captain Braxton to go back in time to prevent Voyager from being blown up by a temporal bomb. This is the first sign we should have heightened anxiety levels.
Voyager can't blow up! They need to get home! We then spend the entire episode following Seven as she goes back in time to find the perpetrator and prevent them from placing the bomb, with something always getting in her way as she gets closer to the truth.
The tension becomes almost unbearable when it is revealed that she will only have a limited number of attempts as each time she goes back, she sustains brain damage. Each time she goes back may be her last and she needs to succeed, but we're left to wonder whether she will save Voyager in time.
She of course eventually does find the perpetrator and with Janeway's help (because you can't save Voyager without Janeway) prevents the bomb from being placed, saving Voyager and her crew from blowing up.
