Despite being a "kids show", the Voyager-A had a surprising number of casualties. Might explain why they didn't bother to establish the entire senior staff.
Early in the season, we also saw/heard Gwyn's advisor (on the shuttle) being killed, with an implication that the mother vessel of the shuttle was also lost (as Janeway mentioned they lost contact with it). Possibly the work of either Asencia's Rev-## vessel, or of already existing Vau N'akat vessels (though it is doubtful those could detect, reach and then overwhelm a starship by themselves, unless Starfleet was caught napping).
I’m imagine all those “deaths” will be overturned by the end of the season.
Maybe, but they didn't after the slaughter at the end of S1.
For a second I thought "wow, Janeway's barely reacting to half her crew dying!" then realised that she'd be forgetting they ever existed as soon as they were erased.
Indeed. I wonder if the first death, the "redshirt" on the planet who got a name only shortly before he was devoured, was a bit of an inside joke at the meta treatment of redshirts (who usually got introduced in the episode they were killed and promptly forgotten afterwards, never to be mentioned again).
Loved Janeway finding a way to hurt the loom. All the others were firing and firing, but it never did anything. She wasn't taking sh*t from anyone this episode, not from admirals and not from time-devouring monsters.
Her shuttle is more heavily armed than the Defiant, it fires an entire spread of quantum torpedoes,...
Majel got to experience Zero in their present form. Nice, but wonder how that turns out when Zero will likely return to original form later in the season. She's a good addition to the wayward crew.
