    Equinox was a great set of episodes.

    That said, it pissed me off because they blew up the second ship. How rad would it be if for the rest of voyager, they had 2 spaceships? It would have been really interesting and I would have loved it. Yes I know the equinox was slow but sprinkle a bit of engineering and technobabble and it would have been awesome.

    Stargate Atlantis screwed this one up too. On multiple occasions they found an awesome ancient battleship, flew it around, and then the writers blew it up in order to reset the status quo.

    I thought these were a pair of truly thought-provoking episodes.

    I thought a lot about the complicit officers of the Equinox who were transferred to be lower deckers on Voyager, with restricted access to ships systems.

    I’d really hoped there would be an episode that followed up on some of them. Some of them had experience and expertise that might have been valuable in some future situations. Instead they were effectively house-arrest passengers for the rest of the voyage in contrast to the Maquis officers. It was another opportunity to have some continuity that seemed to have been offside in the final seasons.

      It’s a shame, but even with DS9, serialized stories rarely included follow up characterization. Just look at O’Brien, who by all rights, should have included a scene or two of therapy for any episode he was in. He suffers from mind prison PTSD within that episode and nothing further.
