[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]The crew of Voyager chase rumours of a timeship which is changing the timeline to the benefit of the Imperium...[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Voyager[/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif] attempts to escape Krenim space into a neighbouring polity, but find themselves trapped between 2 warring fleets. [/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Voyager[/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif] is again heavily damaged. The shuttlebay is destroyed (and all the shuttles and Neelix's ship with it) and large areas of the bottom deck of the saucer section is exposed to space. Voyager is careering into the atmosphere of a gas giant as the episode ends.[/FONT]




[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]14[/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif]th[/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif] episode: Voyager Down[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Voyager[/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif] is slowly sinking into the gas giant's atmosphere. There is a race against time to repair the impulse drive to allow the ship to escape, before the ship is crushed by the pressures.[/FONT]




[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]15[/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif]th[/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif] episode: Voyager Down part 2.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Voyager escapes into a low orbit around the gas giant and find derilects from both fleets also in orbit. They have to dock with some of the derilects to obtain materials to get their warp drive back online and to restore artificial gravity on some of the more damaged areas of the ship.[/FONT]




[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]16[/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif]th[/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif] episode: Orbit war.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]It turns out that some of the derilects are not abandoned and fight against the Voyager crew when they are boarded.[/FONT]




[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]17[/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif]th[/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif] episode: Krenim[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Voyager goes to warp away from the gas giant.[/FONT]


[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Credits[/FONT]


[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]3 Months later – Krenim Prime.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]The Imperial Council is discussing the issue of [/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Voyager[/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif] and the tenacity of its crew to survive the worst that the Krenim could throw at them (and the fact that the stories about [/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Voyager[/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif] are stirring up dissent...). Then someone comes in and announces that he has a solution to the [/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Voyager[/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif] problem. This 'solution' is mostly dismissed out of hand as 'fantastical', though some in the Council are fearful.[/FONT]


[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Most of the episode is about the Krenim including their history and culture. It also follows up on the rumours of Annorax's timeship. The timeship itself is seen in the distance as [/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Voyager[/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif] approaches the Krenim homeworld. It is also established that [/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Voyager[/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif] had been patched up and has adapted Krenim technology to their uses...[/FONT]




[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]18[/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif]th[/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif] episode: Hope[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Voyager[/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif] enters a region of space with sparse Krenim activity 2 months after passing the Krenim homeworld. However Krenim ships are following them, and an old <something> is waiting ahead of them.[/FONT]




[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]19[/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif]th[/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif] episode: Annorax[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Voyager[/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif] encounters the effects of the timeship after departing the region of the old experiment seen in the previous episode.[/FONT]




[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]20[/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif]th[/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif] episode: Annorax part 2[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Annorax investigates Voyager's journey since they had left Borg space. He meets with a Voth long range patrol who provides him with information about the Federation.[/FONT]


[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]In the meantime [/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Voyager[/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif] is undergoing repairs on an uninhabited planet.[/FONT]




[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]21[/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif]st[/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif] episode: Timeship[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]The Chairman of the Imperial Council contacts Annorax and asks him to discreetly 'deal with the [/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Voyager[/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif] issue'. Annorax in turn tells him hyperbole about the capability of the Federation. But given the distance involved the Chairman asks him to 'deal with Voyager' anyway...[/FONT]


[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]The Imperiax of the Imperium orders the Imperial Navy to 'chase Voyager out of our space as soon as possible' rather than destroy the ship, which they are seemingly incapable of doing.[/FONT]


[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Annorax chases [/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Voyager[/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif] with his timeship and attempts to use the temporal weapon to erase the ship from the timeline...[/FONT]




[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]22[/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif]nd[/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif] episode: Endgame[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]...However [/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Voyager[/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif] uses some of the repaired Aegis technology to resist the effects of the temporal weapon.[/FONT]


[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Hence there is a battle between the crews of [/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Voyager[/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif] and the Timeship through the episode as they try to defeat the other. Annorax attempts to defeat [/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Voyager[/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif] by changing the timeline in different ways, but to no avail. (There is even a scene in which the Timeship is facing a Borg armada lead by an assimilated [/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Voyager [/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif]and comprised partly of assimilated Krenim ships!) The situation ends with a 'reset' in which the situation is restored to the status quo at the beginning of the previous episode.[/FONT]




[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]23[/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif]rd[/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif] episode: Endgame part 2[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]A replay of some of the events of the 2 previous episodes in an alternate manner (Though there are certainly additional events). Voyager approaches the Coreward edge of Krenim space as the fleet and the Timeship chase it...[/FONT]




[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]24[/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif]th[/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif] episode: Departure[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Voyager approaches the edge of Krenim space, and runs through a minefield, during which the (previously evacuated) Bridge is destroyed (All of Deck 1 in fact most of Deck 2 exposed to space, including the Mess Hall). A command centre is set up in Engineering.[/FONT]


[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]A cliffhanger ending with the Krenim fleet closing on [/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Voyager[/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif]...[/FONT]




Executive Meddling [FONT=Arial, sans-serif]: The producers of Voyager initially wanted to have a long arc set on the planet in the nebula at the beginning of the season. But UPN insisted on having 'The Rock' guest star. Which made a shortened arc necessary. Hence the 6th episode of the season (which was not well recieved by fans) a lot of filler and the 'Timeship mini-arc' at the end of the season.
[/FONT]
 
[FONT=&quot]7th Season.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]1st episode: Rescue[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Voyager[/FONT][FONT=&quot] finally leaves Krenim space. The ship is mysteriously rescued by another ship from the Krenim fleet and the Timeship. The rescuer then disappears. (The Timeship is not destroyed and will appear in future). The Krenim will continue to appear at various points throughout the rest of the series.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Voyager [/FONT][FONT=&quot]is now enhanced with Aegis, Chronowerx, Borg and Krenim technology, though it is rather damaged.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]2nd episode: Recovery[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Voyager stops at a space station and begins repairs. In the mean time there are mysteries to be solved and Krenim agents to avoid...[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Most of the hull breaches are repaired in this episode. (The repaired areas of hull look different to the rest of the hull.)[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]3rd episode: Waking Moments[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The crew of Voyager start to have dreams from which they cannot wake, and only Chakotay can save them.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]4th episode: Time of Mysteries[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Voyager[/FONT][FONT=&quot] trades skill for materials to repair their ship. (Reconstruction of Deck 1 begins in this episode) They begin to solve mysteries for the local civilization. The first rumours of the Hirogen are in this episode.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]5th episode: Living Witness[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]A Kyrian museum curator 800 years in the future hopes a Voyager relic containing a copy of the Doctor can confirm their version of history.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot](The flashback portions of the episode shows that the reconstruction of Deck 1 is still ongoing. Parts of the errors of the false history include Voyager having shuttles and a line to the effect of ‘They were responsible for the ‘fall of the Krenim’”.)[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]6th episode: Tales of the past.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Another episode in the vein of ‘Living Witness’. Tales about the exploits of Voyager are told in various places in the region to the Coreward of the (sometimes former) Krenim Imperium. Includes a cameo by Annorax as he tells of his encounters with the ship. (There is even a third view of the events that occurred at the Vaskan/Kyrian planet.)[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]7th episode: Moments of rest[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Voyager[/FONT][FONT=&quot] visits a peaceful planet, but it is not as peaceful as it appears. The new bridge (which looks quite different than the old) is first used in this episode, though it is not yet complete. The reconstruction of the shuttle bay begins.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]8th episode: Message in a Bottle[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The Doctor's program is sent to an advanced Starfleet vessel via a vast ancient communications network, but he soon discovers that only he and the ship's own EMH remain to fight against Tzenkethi who have taken over the ship and are attempting to return to Tzenkethi space with it.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Most of this episode is set in the Alpha Quadrant rather than Voyager. The change to Tzenkethi rather than Romulans is because it is assumed that the Federation and the Star Empire would remain allies after the Dominion War. The Tzenkethi are first seen in this episode... (Though they certainly have been mentioned before.)[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]9th Episode: Hunters[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]A transmission from Starfleet Command gets held at a Hirogen relay station and Janeway sets course to retrieve it.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The Hirogen are introduced in this episode (Practically identical to OTL Hirogen). The new bridge is fully operational, but the new shuttle bay is still a framework.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]10th episode: Bountiful Mysteries[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]After running from the Hirogen, Voyager arrives at a Federation-like group of planets. They trade their mystery solving skills for repair aid and for star charts of the region ahead.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]11th episode: Bountiful Secrets[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The continuation of the previous episode. Secrets are discovered that implicate one of the Association’s founding members in an ancient conspiracy. Voyager is drawn into the quagmire that results. It is also discovered that Krenim agents are shadowing Voyager and have also been drawn into the quagmire...[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot](It is shown that the new shuttle bay is still under construction)[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]12th episode: Bountiful Threats[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]3rd in a 3-parter. As chaos begins to descend on the Association a group of Hirogen raid the planet where Voyager is situated, and a Borg scout ship is sighted approaching Association space.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]13th episode: Hope and Fear[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Paris and Neelix return from a mission with a passenger named Arturis who knows more than 4,000 languages. He manages to decode a message from Starfleet that could lead to a way home...[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]This episode is much like the episode in OTL. (Differences include Kes having a role and Voyager travelling 350 light years closer to Federation space.)[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Voyager[/FONT][FONT=&quot] is now beyond the Association’s sphere of influence. (Though not necessarily beyond that of the Krenim)[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]14th episode: Drone[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The Doctor's mobile emitter is damaged during beam back from an away mission, merging with Seven of Nine's Borg nanoprobes and with DNA of a male Ensign to create a 29th century Borg.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]15th episode: Explorers[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Voyager[/FONT][FONT=&quot] meets a group of explorers and exchange stories and star charts, though this is not all that happens...[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The new shuttle bay is completed, though no new shuttles had been completed as of yet.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]16th episode: Waste[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Voyager[/FONT][FONT=&quot] makes first contact with the Malon, a species who dump antimatter waste into other species space...[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]17th episode: Extreme Risk[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]B'Elanna purposely puts herself into increasingly more dangerous situations. Meanwhile the crew decides to build a new shuttlecraft, the Delta Flyer.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Voyager[/FONT][FONT=&quot] meets the Malon again, as they race against time to retrieve a probe...[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]18th episode: Thirty Days[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Tom Paris disregards orders by helping an aquatic world and is demoted to Ensign.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]19th episode: Demon[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Tom Paris and Harry Kim take a shuttle down to an extremely inhospitable planet to obtain fuel.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]20th episode: This Side of Eden[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]A Voyager away team arrives in an area of a planet where an ancient arkology is in danger of collapse.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]21st episode: Dark Frontier part 1[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Janeway plans to steal a transwarp coil from a disabled Borg ship to shorten their journey home.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot](Much the same as OTL, as is the 2nd part)[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]22nd episode: Dark Frontier part 2[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Janeway leads a mission in the Delta Flyer to rescue Seven of Nine.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]23rd episode: Omega Directive[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Janeway receives the Omega Directive, an order to destroy the Omega molecules, even if it means violating the Prime Directive.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]A Krenim ship is also nearby and tries to grab the Omega molecule for the Krenim...[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]24th episode: One Small Step[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Seven helps the crew avoid a huge mass of subspace energy and they theorize an ancient spacecraft is inside.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]25th episode: Another Ship[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]A Voyager away team discovers a Borg presence in an industrial era city on a pre-warp planet. They also find another group investigating the Borg who remind them of themselves...[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]26th episode: Blink of an Eye[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Voyager[/FONT][FONT=&quot] is trapped in orbit of a planet where time is going much faster than normal. (up to 100 days in a second.)[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]This leads into the 8th season arc.[/FONT]
 
First of all is there a particular reason you are taking it into season 8? No other Trek production will have gone that far. Also how does this affect other Productions such as the Movies and the planned Enterprise series?
 
I've only skimmed the alternative timeline but my problems appear to be:

1. Personally, I didn't like Voyager very much anyway, so more of the same seems..... urgghh. I know I'm not alone in not liking Voyager. Can you really spin it out for 11 years?
2. You spend a whole season not in space. This is surely going to alienate a lot of viewers.
3. Everything is going so slowly. I can't see it lasting 11 years.
4. Friends made ten years.

It's good, but needs to be much condensed into the seven years realistically available to it.
 
[FONT=&quot]8th season:[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Blink of an Eye arc.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]1st episode: Blink of an Eye part 2[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Cultural change occurs on the planet as the ‘Ground Shaker’ becomes more prominent in their mythologies and as Agriculture begins in many areas. Voyager attempts to remove itself from the planet’s orbit without success and causing many quakes.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]2nd episode: Pyramids[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Voyager[/FONT][FONT=&quot] discovers an Egypt-like civilization arising on the planet...[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]3rd episode: Ziggurats[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]As more Neolithic civilisations arise Janeway begins to wonder whether Voyager’s presence is violating the Prime Directive.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]4th episode: Bronze Age[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Areas of the planet enter the bronze age, and Agriculture spreads. The Voyager influenced theologies spread too...[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Voyager launches probes to monitor the planet, but they begin to fail after being in orbit for hundreds of years...[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]5th episode: Quandaries[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Voyager[/FONT][FONT=&quot] has been in orbit for over a week (approximately 3000 years for the planet) and the crew are no closer to solving the problem relating to the fact that the ship is stuck in orbit and is causing quakes on the planet. Seven of Nine brings to Janeway’s attention that the Astrometrics sensors had detected a civilisation building megaliths in an attempt to communicate with the ‘Ground Shaker’ and that they show advanced mathematical techniques.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]6th episode: Company[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Voyager[/FONT][FONT=&quot] detects a Krenim vessel come into orbit of the planet in close proximity to their position. The presence of the Krenim vessel destabilises Voyager’s orbit bringing the ship closer to the planet, and further into the temporal expansion field. Its orbit also destabilised the Krenim vessel crashes in an uninhabited area of the planet, though not before beaming some of its crew to Voyager.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]It is revealed that the Krenim had been tracking Voyager ever since the ship left their space. But before Janeway can berate the Krenim captain for this Seven reports that the crashed Krenim had survived and started their own civilisation in their area of the planet...[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Janeway is more upset at this development and regrets her decision to investigate the planet that got them, and now the Krenim trapped.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]It is now 80 days on the planet for every second on Voyager.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Did you notice that this episode was written by Brannan Braga? That is right, he who wrote that pile of .... [2] that is Threshold back in season two. The episode that was repudiated by Paramount. It is likely that the Krenim on the planet will be ignored and this episode will be spoken of in the same breath as Spock’s Brain and other similar garbage episodes. [A long abusive anti-Braga rant.] [3].[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]*Looks at above post and shakes head*[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] Let’s get back on topic shall we. I think that Captain Tanarex explained the situation well to Janeway and her senior staff.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] The Krenim, or at least their Imperial Navy, want to know what Voyager gets up to in their sphere of influence and so has them followed. Though I would think that Voyager is rather close to the edge of space known to the Krenim by now. (And let’s not get into a discussion about how the Association was or was not influenced by the Krenim, that has been rehashed over and over the past 9 months...)[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot] And the Accelerated Planet arc becomes more interesting...[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]7th episode: Vitality[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Some of the indigenous populations of the planet enter the Iron Age. Some other populations begin to make bronze. And the Krenim colony begins building up towards an industrial age.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]8th episode: Relativity.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Voyager[/FONT][FONT=&quot] begins to experience temporal distortions unrelated to the planet’s temporal expansion field.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Seven of Nine is recruited by an older Captain Braxton who is in command of the timeship Relativity.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Braxton reveals that a temporal weapon has been placed on Voyager some time prior to its arrival at the accelerated planet. Seven then goes into Voyager’s past prior to its journey to 20th Century Earth, and discovers an even older Braxton planting the temporal distortion weapon on Voyager.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Thus ensues a chase through Voyager in various time periods. (Including the present where Janeway gets involved, the Year of Hell, the period when Voyager was at 20th Century Earth and during various Kazon attacks.) In the meantime Braxton is arrested by his first officer.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]9th episode: Concerns[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Iron age and Bronze age societies continue to spread and the Krenim colony enters an Industrial age. Seven of Nine reports that more civilisations are building megaliths to try to communicate with Voyager and that the original megalith builders have expanded upon their original megaliths. She also notes that the Krenim are keeping to themselves.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]10th episode: Empire[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]A large Empire rises around a Mediterranean-like sea and expands. Many charismatic figures claiming to ‘know the secrets of the Ground-Shaker’ start cults...[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The Krenim colony begins covert exploration.[/FONT]
