Janeway and company were catapulted to the other side of existence, for all practical thematic intents and purposes. Let me explain. Since 1992, I've worked in the human resources field, specifically selling staffing services to a variety of companies, large and small, in several geographic markets. Now, before you turn a blind eye, I'm not trying to sell you anything, other than the idea that's about to unfold. I promise to only take you where no one has gone before.
True achievers take the high road.
Sell-outs take the low road. Brannon Braga and Rick Berman have admitted that the franchise is tired, perhaps in need of a break, a rest, and a creative sabbatical. Captain and company eventually destroy the Caretaker, to keep the technology from falling into Kazon hands. We've saved the day. We've made a few new friends.
