Line 92:
** She also ignored how it would affect people born to crewmembers after the time she jumped in. These people may [[Ret Gone|never exist]] or may have wildly different lives if they do, but that doesn't seem to matter to her.
** At the end of the episode, Voyager (and the Borg sphere chasing it) flies out of a heretofore-unmentioned Borg transit wormhole - ''which exits directly in front of Earth''. Not only is this patently absurd given the events of ''[[Star Trek First Contact]]'' (in which a single Borg cube destroys part of the Federation fleet before being taken down), but it retroactively makes episodes like TNG's "Best of Both Worlds" pointless - if you've got a direct wormhole to Earth, why waste time travelling through the galaxy when you could jump directly to the source in minutes?
* The climax of "[[http://memory-alpha.org/wiki/Alliances_<!-- 28episode29%28episode%29 Alliances]]" is ''painful''. Janeway manages to get all the leaders of the Kazon groups to talk peace. Turns out it was all an EvilPlan[[Evil Plan]] by the Trabe, another race with a major hate-on for the Kazons to kill off their leadership. When the Trabe start strafing the building the Kazon chiefs have gathered in, Janeway is all "ScrewThisImOuttaHere[[Screw This I'm Outta Here]]" and beams away, ''leaving the Kazon leadership to be slaughtered''. Now, keep in mind that, right then, the Kazons have been a relentless pain in ''Voyager'''s ass. Saving the Kazon leaders would have earned Janeway a season's worth of "you saved our lives, we'll back off" gratitude. It would also have been the ethical thing to do. -->
** It's not ethical, but it is tactically sound to decapitate your enemy's leadership to give yourself an advantage. Unfortunately for ''Voyager,'' instead of getting a Kazon Civil War that would have kept them busy, the Kazons got Seska.
** Somebody's remembering the episode wrong. The ship ''did'' shoot up the meeting, but thanks to a warning from Janeway, ''and Voyager successfully shooting down the assassin ship'', nobody got killed. The Kazon leaders were ''not'' grateful, and the regular infighting between tribes (which never kept any of the Voyager's crew out of the line of fire in the first place) resumed unabated. This meeting was definitely ''not'' one of the better moments for the Federation's diplomacy, but Janeway is hardly to blame for its failure.
