7.11 shattered

An anomaly blasts Chakotay into a fractured time-space continuum, where each area of the ship exists in a separate place in time. Only he, having been given an injection by the doctor, can pass through to each area. Needing help, he enlists Janeway from the bridge seven years earlier. Slowly, he convinces her that he is from the future. Other areas of the ship include Seven from when she was a Borg drone, Seska when she had taken over engineering, the Captain Proton program on the holodeck, and B’Elanna Torres as a Maquis. All areas go along with the plan, except of course Seska, who captures Chakotay and wants to send the entire ship into her own timeframe. But Janeway has solicited the help of everyone else, from disparaging time periods, to foil Seska’s plan.

This is an excellent episode which recaps some of the great moments from earlier shows (without resorting to clips), and finally acknowledges some continuity. And it’s great to see Chakotay get some lines again – he’s good.
