Star Trek: Voyager

Timeless - S5-E6

Corrected entry: After Captain Janeway instructs Seven of Nine to match Voyager's course and speed with the Delta Flyer, the scene cuts to an external flyby of the Delta Flyer, followed by what is presumably Voyager (an Intrepid-class ship), but the ship following the shuttle is a Galaxy-class vessel with curved, fixed pylons for the warp nacelles. Voyager's nacelles pivot, and look nothing like that of a Galaxy-class starship. (00:29:25)

Correction: Janeway states "match their course and speed". The next shot is set in the future, with the Delta Flyer running from the USS Challenger in their attempt to save Voyager in the past. The Challenger is a Galaxy-Class ship captained by La Forge.

Indeed, it's just a less obvious scene transition than normal. It's similar to the way Picard travelled between the anti-time past, present and futures in "All Good Things"; he would walk out a door in one time period and in a door in another, or be talking to someone in one period and someone in another would hear him and ask what he was going on about.

Night - S5-E1

Corrected entry: In this episode there is a region of space with no stars and it is completely dark. While there could be a region with no stars you would still see stars in the distance. When they finally reach the end of the 'void' slowly stars pop into view. If they just stayed stationary these stars would come into view on their own. Light had been traveling from each star from the time of its creation. The galaxy is not so old that light has not reach certain sections yet.

Correction: They say in the episode that a type of radiation is blocking their sensors and visual range, so they can't see beyond the star-less region.

LorgSkyegon

Correction: It's not the real Torres, but a biomimetic copy, who knows how it will behave after it "dies."

Night - S5-E1

Corrected entry: Both Voyager's engines are destroyed in the final battle before going through the Vortex. They plan on using aft torpedoes to not only close the Vortex but help propel them through the Vortex since they have no engines. They arrive on the other side of the Vortex finally out of The Void and into regular space with star systems rather than nothingness. Janeway proceeds to say, "full speed ahead." Credits roll as Voyager's engines propel them off into space.

Correction: The nacelles are destroyed, which let the ship travel at warp speed. Impulse engines are an entirely separate system, which are used for sub-light speed. They're moving forward as best they can.

Elogium - S2-E4

Plot hole: In this episode Kes states that she has to decide now whether to have a child or not because Ocampa women can only get pregnant once and deliver one child. If that was the case they would have died out a long time ago, or never even evolved, as two people only getting one offspring would reduce the population to 50% of the original figure each generation.

Suggested correction: It's also possible that it's simply required of Ocampan women to give birth the first time they go through it, and can then experience it again.

Greg Dwyer

Nothing in the dialogue suggest Ocampa's can have additional children. While we can speculate about fictitious species, it's still a plot hole due to writing. Kes states she's going through the "elogium" which is a time of change where her body prepares for fertilization. She then explicit states the "elogium" only occurs once. While the doctor compares it to puberty, the elogium is both sexual maturity and "heat", that is, the time a female is ready for fertilization.

But it doesn't ever state the normalcy of birthing for Ocompans. Perhaps sextuplets is the norm?

Kes frequently used the word "child." If it was normal to give birth to more than one, she would know this and should say "children."

Bishop73

Do not forget that this is all done through the universal translator. For all you know the Ocompan word for child and children is the same so the translator cannot tell the difference.

Trivia: Rain Robinson has a model of a DY-100 on the window sill in her office. In 1996 (also the year this episode is set), Kahn left Earth in the SS Botany Bay, a DY-100 class starship.
