Seven of Nine is taken from the year 2375 to the 29th century. On the time ship Relativity she is sent on a mission across 2375 and 2371, to save Voyager from destruction.
Directed by Allan Eastman in contrast to the episode Timeless with a story by Nick Sagan we are treated with a full on time travelling episode. Again we see Janeway and crew die, we see Voyager destroyed and later in 'dry doc' at Utopia Planitia Fleet Yard, prior to their Delta Quadrant escapade. This instalment offers Seven in a Starfleet uniform, some phaser shootouts and an overall interesting time travel yarn. Granted a reintegration McGuffin, the ability to merge characters at the end wraps it up too nicely, but the twist and turns are enough to peak interest. With time doubles of Janeway, Seven of Nine and more, Star Trek: First Contact being mentioned by Seven as an example to explain the Pogo paradox and localized time discrepancies there's plenty of fun to be had.
Seven of Nine actress Jeri Ryan shines here and is given plenty to do as the time travelling recruit, enlisted to stop a saboteur planting a device on Voyager. Kate Mulgrew as Captain Kathryn Janeway offers subtly between her character in different time periods which helps sell the outlandish premise.
While fans may get a kick out of the multiple Sevens, its link with Timeless and Future's End episodes where Braxton is portrayed Allan G. Royal, here in Relativity he is played by acting veteran Bruce McGill. This episode debatably works better without seeing the episode Future's End, not only because it gives the twist more of an impact, it also avoids raising more plot questions than it cares to answer.
Relativity is a fast-paced, mind-bending, roller-coaster ride time travel story and stands out as one of the most intriguing, fun episodes.
