Line 7:
** Or better yet, scale the transwarp drive up, and send ''the whole damn ship'' back to Earth with the Doctor in command (so he can administer the hypospray antidote upon arrival, or at least instruct others to do so). Problem solved!
*** ''Or'' even if it wasn't possible to create a man-portable version of the cure (it is, but bear with me) the Doctor, with limited research on the subject and comparatively limited tools, took no more than a day to cure it. Starfleet Medical; with state of the art equipment, the brightest doctors in the Quadrant, their own EMH programmes ''and'' full access to the Doctor's research should have been able to cure the mutation both independently and on a completely superior time scale.
* It gets worse. There was nothing stopping the crew from wiring the engine into their ship, accelerating to Warp 9.9997283-whatever, getting home in about a week, and ''not having to worry about mutations at all.'' It also doesn't help that this episode forgets [[Magic aA Is Magic A|the rules that govern how warp drive works]]. For the record, going to Warp 10 after changing the dilithium is roughly equivalent to flying a nuclear submarine to the Moon after throwing in some new [[Phlebotinum]] control rods.
** Weird math: Warp 9.999 period (or whatever the speed of Borg Transwarp is) makes it a few months voyage from the Delta to the Alpha Quadrant. Warp 10 means you occupy every point in the entire universe at once.
** That's not so weird; it's an asymptotic relationship (where X approaches Y forever without actually reaching Y). The approach to the speed of light is like this in actual relativity theory (the crossover point being that point at which time is reversed for the traveler). Warp theory probably operates on similar lines, where crossing Warp 10 leads to the whole simultaneous occupation of every point in the universe. My question is why a small ship like Voyager, with a limited staff of non-specialists, is able to make a breakthrough that nobody in the Alpha Quadrant could. Also, since communications move much faster than the vessels themselves, why isn't Starfleet's every data transmission receiveable at every point in the universe?
