Template:Infobox Star Trek episode
Future's End is a two-part episode from the third season of Star Trek: Voyager.
Captain Braxton from the future appears before Voyager and says he must destroy them to prevent a cataclysm that will wipe out most of the United Federation of Planets. Voyager fights back, resulting in a time rip that sent the future captain to the year 1967, while Voyager and her crew are sent to the year 1996. A young hiker, Henry Starling, found the timeship in 1967, and stole its technology to found his own company, Chronowerx, which led to the computer revolution of the nineties. Starling, now a rich man, manages to hack into the computer on Voyager and steal many of their files, including the Doctor. Meanwhile a young astronomer named Rain Robinson has discovered Voyager in high orbit, and assumes it to be extraterrestrial life. She successfully attempts to contact Voyager, which forces the crew to do some damage control. Captain Janeway, Commander Chakotay, Tuvok, and Tom Paris, all go to Earth's surface. Tuvok and Paris go to find Rain, while Janeway and Chakotay investigate the ex-hippie, Henry Starling. When attempting to access Henry Starling's computer files, Captain Janeway equates using a keyboard and primative computer akin to using 'stone knives and bearskins', which is a direct line Spock used in The City on the Edge of Forever .
Aftermath
The main consequence of the episode was that the Doctor gained his futuristic mobile emitter from Sterling and thus becomes able to leave Voyager's sickbay and go wherever he likes, whether inside or outside the ship.
Captain Braxton re-appeared in a later episode of Voyager suffering from temporal psychosis which he blamed on too many trips through time to correct errors which he believed were caused by Captain Janeway.
There was no mention of the Eugenics War - which should have been underway in 1996. Khan Noonien Singh and his followers departed earth in the sleeper ship SS Botany Bay in 1996, the same year Voyager arrived. It is not known if Khan's departure preceded or followed the Voyager crew's arrival on Earth, as Khan was never mentioned in this episode - though both events took place in 1996. This is because the show's creators simply "don’t care" about continuity according to ex-writer Ron Moore.
In-story, it could simply be that the Eugenics Wars were fought far from American shores -- or, at least, not in Los Angeles. Alternatively, the non-canon Eugenics Wars novels depict them as a "secret" war, which appeared to most Earth people to be a series of unrelated local conflicts and natural disasters.
