Future's End is a two-part episode from the third season of Star Trek: Voyager.
Template:Spoiler 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 hippie found the timeship in 1967, which led to the computer revolution of the nineties. The hippie, 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.
Aftermath
The main consequence of the episode was that the Doctor gained his futuristic mobile emitter from Braxton 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.
It is curious that there was no mention of the Eugenics War- which should have been underway in 1996. Kahn 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 Kahn's departure preceeded or followed the Voyager crew's arrival on Earth, as Kahn was never mentioned in this episode- though both events took place in 1996. Perhaps the time of Kahn's departure was changed due to some changes in the timeline.
