Janeway's selective memory.

[Tosk]

This one never occurred to me until a recent-ish rewatch.

In season three's Future's End, while in 1996 Janeway remarks, "I don't know what my relatives were doing this far back in history."

Cut to season five's 11:59 and she's proudly telling Neelix about how one of her ancestors was the driving force behind the fantastic-amazing Millennium Gate.
And the story she tells in detail is set a mere four years from when Janeway made her earlier statement.

And lest anyone point out that she probably didn't learn about it until recently, we get this bit: "We were always told stories about her at family gatherings.The first of a long line of Janeway explorers."

I'm not actually complaining of course. I just found it funny. Like when Geordi said that nothing unusual had ever happened to him in the transporter even though just four episodes earlier he was 'phased' by one and was walking through walls and stuff.

well, i think the timeline was rewritten around the time of first contact, and that seven of nine didn't exist in the first few seasons, and no one was doing research into the Borg, because no one knew about them, so i would say its quite possible that at one point, janeway had no idea, but at a later point, she has a different backstory and set of knowledge based on it.

'This far back in history' in future's end is 1996, 11:59 is in 1999.

So technically, there isn't necessarily a contradiction :P

I'd be more concerned concerned with Seven and the Doctor forgetting the multiple times she's dreamed, especially since all of them happened during pretty pivotal moments in her life.

• "The Raven:" Seven has recurring dreams about a raven, connected to her parents' ship. Log entries about it help Voyager track her down when she runs away, and relives her assimilation.
• "Waking Moments:" The entire crew is trapped in a shared dream, and Seven creates a very memorable "distraction" by beating the crap out of Kim
• "One:" Seven and the Doctor are alone for months while the crew is in stasis. Seven notes in her log, "My dreams are becoming disturbing."
• "Unimarrix Zero:" "Doctor, what's happening?!" "You've had your first dream!"

The first two may be explained as not being typical dreams. The last one... is a continuity error.
