wish the revelation that janeway's choice led to borg assimilating a whole race in hope and fear had more weight. like idk girl stranded her ship because she wanted to save alien species in the first place. which led to the destruction of another one. maybe they shouldn't have ended that episode on an upbeat note. i like how chronologically the next episode after that is night, in my mind it also played a part in janeway falling into depression. would have been delicious if it was mentioned tho. she could have countered chakotay's argument that she saved ocampa with this one, making her choice to sacrifice herself even more obvious to her

#i think in her beautiful mind she decided that she could have broken the pattern of ocampa being rescued at the expense of the crew being #stranded in delta quadrant => an alien accusing her of his race being assimilated by borg => the choice to save aliens in night at the #expense of stranding the crew in the void by taking herseld out of this cycle. WELL MAYBE IF I AM NOT THERE THEY WOULDN'T GET STRANDED AGAI #+ THEIR CHOICES WOULDN'T DESTROY ANOTHER RACE IN THE MEANTIME!!!#oh captain my captain #kathryn janeway #star trek voyager #i cant describe it any better but i love the parallels and the balance of this. she was told that 'she wiped out a whole race' and the next #episode she is presented with an option to save another species that is an exast parallel to caretaker #ME WHEN PARALLELS: :OOOOOO #i forgot my argument of how all this leads to discussing bipolar janeway rights. oh well #JANEWAY WHEN PARALLELS: :OOOOOO #i like how chakotay went uhhh honey we are not in that situation and she went WELL IT IS SIMILAR ENOUGH!!!!!!
