Line 42:
** [[Fridge Logic|Here's an idea, rather than blowing up the Array, use those superpowereful weapons that you only have two of to blow up the Kazon ships.]]
* In "Time and Again", why did Paris and Janeway join the fighting outside the power plant? They have never even heard of the government of the planet, they are trying to stay as anonymous as possible, and they are afraid of altering the timeline. Yet the second they see a police holding off a riot, with the police remaining calm and trying to avoid harming civilians, they jump in and start punching them.
** Their questionable decisions are much worse than that. The two of them ''know'' that the civilization is about to be wiped out by their own energy source, but deliberately make no effort to warn anyone of the impending global massacre. At least Paris wants to warn them, Janeway just holds to her holy 'Prime Directive' even in an instance where no matter what their interference does it could not possibly be worse than the destruction of all life on the planet. This character is so obsessed with the Prime Directive that she is fully willing to watch all life on the planet be wiped out. How exactly did she make admiral again?
** The worst part of this is the reason she gives for finally telling the people who capture them what is going to happen: she realizes that she and Paris have violated the Prime Directive by virtue of simply being there in the first place, so there's no point in continuing the charade. Which is correct, but it took Janeway the better part of a day to realize what Paris and the rest of the audience knew immediately, time which might have been spent actually coming up with a solution.
* The infamous [[It Just Bugs Me|Physics-defying pickup truck]] from "The 37's". ''Voyager'' comes across a 1936 pickup truck just floating through outer space. They beam it aboard and discover that:
## There's still oil in the crankcase, water in the battery & radiator, and ''gas in the tank.''
