    Non Sequitur was a perfect episode of Star Trek: Voyager and I really enjoyed watching this episode which focused on Ensign Harry Kim. There was a lot of character development as we saw a glimpse into what Harry's life was like back home. The story of this episode is not necessarily unique however it was well played here and I enjoy psychological thriller mysteries. It was interesting to see the other version of Paris. I look forward to watching the next episode of Star Trek: Voyager!!!!!!!!!moreless

  • Due to an accident on board a shuttle he was piloting, Harry finds himself in an alternate future, one which shows just what he left behind when Voyager got lost so far out in space. In essence he's left with a choice: Should he stay, or try to get back?moreless

    This was an excellent episode. Not only did it focus primarily on one of the most underused and underdeveloped characters of the show, it showed just what exactly Harry had left behind when Voyager got lost. The situation gave him a choice, and his answer showed his character: although he could have had his life back the way it may possibly would have been if he'd never been assigned to Voyager, he couldn't just abandon his friends and his ship to wander somewhere out in the Delta quadrant. Though no one in that reality would know, he himself would have had to live with the knowledge he'd abandoned them all, and his real post.
    I also liked the way that he seemed able to get through to that reality's Tom Paris, just like he'd been able to make friends with him in his own reality. I have a feeling the two of them would have been friends in any reality once they'd met.
    Getting to see Jennifer Gatti in the role of Libby was just another side bonus. I'd liked her in her guest role as Ba'el on Deep Space Nine, and wish they could have brought her in as a regular somehow, but... Voyager left a lot of unfulfilled wishes. At least with this episode, we got to see a lot deeper into Harry in some ways than we did in many of the others.moreless

    'Non-Sequitur' is primarily a Harry Kim episode. It involves Harry being in a shuttle accident and being 'transported' into an alternate reality, one in which he was never on baord Voyager, but instead joined the Engineering Corps back on Earth. What I found really interesting about this episode is the attitude of the alternate Tom Paris. Is this what would have really happened to him had he not served on Voyager? Would he really have ended up as a bitter drunk who spends his days shooting pool and hanging out with 'questionable' people? I will admit however, that it was good to see him have a change of heart towards the end of the episode to help Harry return to his proper reality.

    I also found it helpful to see Harry as something other than the whinging ensign. Seeing the life he would have led makes him more real somehow. Before this episode, he came off as mostly one dimensional. All you knew about him was that he was very close to his parents, so it was good to see another side of him.

    The concept of 'Non-Sequitur' was well grounded and the episode was executed brilliantly. I love all alternate reality Star Trek shows, so I might be a bit bias in saying so, but I really do like this episode.moreless

    your lost on the other side of the quadrant, everyone at home thinks you're dead, you have NO way of telling them you're alive, you are looking at a 70 year journey through unknown space with the only inhabitants known to the federation being the Borg, the odds of making it home are very low

    then...

    due to an anomoly in the space time continuem you are back on earth in an alternate reality, you have your job, family, beautiful fiance, everything is perfect, yet kim wants to get back ...you gotta ask yourself if that was you ...would you have returned?

    It was only when i watched this epiosde again recently that i started thinking that part of me would have probably wanted to stay in that reality

    the main reasons kim seems to want to get back is Tom Paris - who would have been fine anyway and Danny Bird who from the sounds of things was a bully (5:21 Juggernaught)

    i dunno ...all i do know is this episode is brilliant! and Garrett Wang must have been smiling when he got the script for this onemoreless

    Harry Kim wakes up in the 24th Century San Francisco. How could this be? He was just on a shuttlecraft. He is glad to see Libby, his girlfriend. He asks Libby what is today's date. He surprise to find out it is the last date he remembered, but where is "the voyager". He finds that he is actually an engineer for a new runabout ship design. He insists he is a member of "the Voyager Crew". He is informed he never was part of the Voyager crew. He is trying to find his way back to his reality.moreless

  • Trivia

    ADD TRIVIA
    • Nitpick: When Kim is running away from Starfleet Security, he's wearing his communicator. Why didn't they just have him beamed to Security Headquarters instead of chasing him on foot all through San Francisco? Edit

    • Trivia: Non Sequitur is a Latin phrase meaning "does not follow". It is one of two Star Trek: Voyager episodes titled in Latin ("Ex Post Facto" being the other).

      Edit
    • Nitpick: Just after beaming aboard the runabout, Kim says he's "overriding initialization codes", yet he shouldn't have been able to do anything as his console is still dark, meaning there are no active buttons (not that he would have been able to see them anyway). Edit

  • Notes

    ADD NOTES
    • The San Francisco shuttlepod scene is recycled from Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979). Edit

    • The closing doors of the "Starbase" are in actuality a recycled model/shot of the Dyson Sphere doors from The Next Generation episode "Relics".
