Paramount Plus skipped us ahead an entire season, guys!

But when we worked that out we went back and watched the episode we were actually on, The 37s, which is the one where Voyager encounters a random human colony descended from 300 enslaved abductees who were brought to this random Delta quadrant planet to work... until they overthrew their enslavers and killed them all. The fact that nobody from the alien society ever followed up on this for the past 400 years makes this all sound like a bit of highly unsanctioned slavery, but that still doesn't explain why they went all the way to Earth to get, idk, miners or whatever. Surely there were Delta-quadrant species they could've abducted people from? But if they'd done that then Voyager would have never had a chance to meet Amelia Earhart, who had been in stasis this whole time.

Also: They explain that the abductees can understand each other and Voyager, despite being from different countries, due to the Universal Translator. But then they leave and the abductees all decide to stay on this planet... will they all have to learn whatever creole those people speak now that the UT has gone away with the ship? Did they really think this through?

That's how Star Trek should be named. :D

LOL!

I often wish we could go see the aftermath of a visit from the Enterprise (or Voyager, or whatever).

Yeah, and Lower Decks did a follow-up to TNG episode too, but I want mooooooooooooore.

Well, there are some ST:TOS eps where the Enterprise is the ship doing the followup.
