The 25th Anniversary of Voyager. 

Whether you watched the premier live or caught Voyager long after it aired, it is hard to believe that 25 years has passed since Voyager and her mishmash of Starfleet and Maquis crews were stranded in the Delta Quadrant.  

In this episode of To The Journey, hosts Suzanne Williamson and Liam Smart take a look back at what was going on in the world and their lives 25 years ago. They also discuss the legacy of Voyager, not just in the Star Trek universe but in our universe as well.

11:59.    It is rare that we see an actor take time out of their contracted role to play another character in the same show. Kate Mulgrew does just that in 11:59 where she plays Shannon O'Donnell, an ancestor of Kathryn Janeway in the year 2000. 11:59 is an episode that does not stick in one's mind as a memorable; however, it does bring to light some interesting questions on ancestry, the accuracy of history, and your own legacy. 

In this episode of To The Journey, hosts, Liam Smart, and Zachary Fruhling, discuss what they think of 11:59, their own ancestry, history, new year resolutions, and with the turn of the new decade: what the last decade's legacy has been.
