Summary [ ].

This was the final season of Star Trek: Voyager .

A multitude of familiar aliens are revisited for a final shout including the Ferengi in " Inside Man ", the Hirogen in " Flesh and Blood ", the Klingons in " Prophecy ", the Hierarchy in " The Void " and " Renaissance Man ", the Q in " Q2 ", and the Talaxians in " Homestead ".

" Drive " sees Tom Paris and B'Elanna Torres pilot the Delta Flyer in a "trans-stellar rally" before finally tying the knot, and in " Body and Soul ", Seven of Nine is forced to hide The Doctor 's program in her cybernetic implant. In " Q2 " John de Lancie returns with his errant son, desperate for the assistance of "Aunt Kathy" which completes the "Q" story arc begun in seasons two and three, and in " Author, Author ", the crew get to play in the holodeck alongside adulterated versions of themselves, when The Doctor publishes his first holonovel to less than stellar reviews.

After marrying in " Drive ", B'Elanna Torres and Tom Paris' relationship, Torres discovers that she is pregnant in " Lineage ", before contending with a group of Klingons convinced she is carrying the Klingon Messiah in " Prophecy ". Ultimately, Torres gives birth at the very moment Voyager bursts into the Alpha Quadrant from inside an exploding Borg sphere in the series finale " Endgame ".

The series finale, "Endgame" was watched by 8.8 million viewers, significantly less than the show's premiere episode, " Caretaker " with 21.3 million viewers. [1] Still, it pulled in the highest ratings since the premiere episode of the fourth season , " Scorpion, Part II ". Referring to "Endgame" as "the right kind of Star Trek programming", UPN President Tom Nunan publicly declared, " The Voyager finale bodes extremely well for Enterprise 's première next fall. " ( Star Trek Monthly  issue 82 , p. 8)

Episode Info

Star Trek: Discoverys Neelix Reference Reveals What Happened After Voyager

• Captain Burnham secures final clue in mindscape, while Rayner & Booker search Eternal Gallery in Star Trek: Discovery season 5, episode 8.
• Reference to Neelix & Talaxian people hints at their whereabouts post-Star Trek: Voyager, connecting past and present in Star Trek lore.
• Possible Talaxian future in Star Trek: Prodigy season 2, signaling a potential return of Neelix and further exploration of their story.

A passing reference to Star Trek: Voyager 's Talaxian people in Star Trek: Discovery reveals what happened to Neelix (Ethan Phillips) after he left the USS Voyager. In Star Trek: Discovery season 5, episode 8, "Labyrinths", written by Lauren Wilkinson & Eric J. Robbins, and directed by Emmanuel Osei-Kuffour , Captain Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green) travels to the Eternal Gallery and Archive, the largest collection of historical and cultural artifacts in the Alpha and Beta Quadrants. By the end of Discovery season 5, episode 8 , Burnham secures the final clue to the location of the Progenitors' treasure by navigating her own mindscape.

With Captain Burnham stuck inside her own mind, and a Breen Dreadnought laying waste to the Eternal Gallery and Archive, it's up to Commander Rayner (Callum Keith Rennie) and Cleveland Booker (David Ajala) to try finding the final clue first. Scanning through library records, Book doesn't find the clue but does find a nod to Star Trek: Voyager character Neelix, and the Talaxian people. The Talaxians haven't been seen since Voyager ended , so this brief reference provides a welcome update on both Neelix and his people.

Star Trek: Discovery Season 5 Returning Cast & New Character Guide

As Burnham seeks the universe's greatest treasure in Star Trek: Discovery season 5, she'll need help from a host of new and returning characters.

Star Trek: Discoverys Talaxian Reference Reveals What Happened To Neelix After Voyager

"a comprehensive guide to talaxian hair styles".

Attempting to speed up the search for the final Progenitors' clue, Commander Rayner suggests scanning the reading list of Betazoid scientist Dr. Marina Derex for hints. Accessing the records, Book concedes that she " just loved learning new things " and the books had no bearing on the location of the final clue. One of the books that Book references is A Comprehensive Guide to Talaxian Hair Styles . While this is clearly a throwaway nod to Star Trek: Voyager 's Neelix, the presence of the book in the Eternal Gallery and Archive does suggest what happened to him and the Talaxians.

The Talaxians are just one of many Star Trek: Voyager references in Star Trek: Discovery season 5. Other references include the Krenim, Seven of Nine, and the USS Voyager-J.

The book confirms that the Talaxians made it far beyond the Delta Quadrant after Star Trek: Voyager ended , and that they submitted items to the Eternal Gallery and Archive. In Star Trek: Voyager season 7, episode 23, Neelix left the USS Voyager to live in a Talaxian colony located on an asteroid . However, he maintained regular contact with the crew as their ambassador to the Delta Quadrant. As Starfleet introduced proto and quantum slipstream drives in the late 24th century, it would make it far easier for Neelix and other Talaxians to hitch a ride and make the trip to the Alpha Quadrant.

Could Star Trek Bring Back Neelixs Species?

Will we see neelix on netflix.

There have been a few Talaxian references in the modern franchise from Star Trek: Discovery 's Talaxian book, to the references to Neelix in Star Trek: Lower Decks season 4, episode 1, "Twovix". Neelix also briefly appeared in one of the non-canon Star Trek animated shorts , Very Short Treks episode 4, "Holograms All The Way Down". However, aside from this, there haven't been Talaxians on-screen in any of the modern Star Trek shows. The obvious home for a Neelix or Talaxian cameo is in Star Trek: Prodigy , which returns to Netflix later in 2024.

Star Trek: Prodigy

Star Trek: Prodigy is the first TV series in the Star Trek franchise marketed toward children, and one of the few animated series in the franchise. The story follows a group of young aliens who find a stolen Starfleet ship and use it to escape from the Tars Lamora prison colony where they are all held captive. Working together with the help of a holographic Captain Kathryn Janeway (Kate Mulgrew), the new crew of the USS Protostar must find their way back to the Alpha Quadrant to warn the Federation of the deadly threat that is pursuing them.

Star Trek: Prodigy season 2 will see Admiral Kathryn Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) and the crew of the USS Voyager-A travel to an alternate future to save Captain Chakotay (Robert Beltran) . Robert Picardo is reprising the role of the Doctor for Prodigy season 2, and other cameos have been promised. This feels like an ideal opportunity to bring back the Talaxians, and provide an update on what Neelix has been up to. While Prodigy viewers may meet an alternate future version of Neelix instead, it will still build on Star Trek: Voyager 's Talaxians in a more substantial way than Star Trek: Discovery 's affectionate nod.

Star Trek: Discovery season 5 continues Thursdays on Paramount+.

Star Trek: Voyager

The fifth entry in the Star Trek franchise, Star Trek: Voyager, is a sci-fi series that sees the crew of the USS Voyager on a long journey back to their home after finding themselves stranded at the far ends of the Milky Way Galaxy. Led by Captain Kathryn Janeway, the series follows the crew as they embark through truly uncharted areas of space, with new species, friends, foes, and mysteries to solve as they wrestle with the politics of a crew in a situation they've never faced before.

Star trek: discovery’s spore drive replacement may not be explained.

Star Trek: Discovery Season 5 Returning Cast & New Character Guide

Star trek: discovery’s spore drive - how it works & why it’s controversial, star trek: discovery's rhys is starfleet's next great captain.

WARNING: Contains SPOILERS for Star Trek: Discovery season 5!

• The replacement for the spore drive, the pathway drive, may never be explained in the final episodes of Discovery season 5.
• The focus in the last three episodes should be on securing the Progenitors' treasure and defeating the Breen, not introducing new technology.
• Starfleet replaced the spore drive due to lack of navigators, leading to the development of the pathway drive.

Star Trek: Discovery teased an exciting new replacement for the spore drive, but with only three episodes left to go, this new technology may never be explained. Discovery season 5, episode 1, "Red Directive" revealed that Commander Paul Stamets (Anthony Rapp) was mourning the closure of his spore drive program, abandoned in favor of an alternative warp drive replacement. The USS Voyager-J replaced Discovery's spore drive with the pathway drive, which it had been testing since Discovery 's season 4 premiere. This created the possibility of seeing the pathway drive in action later in Discovery season 5.

However, with seven episodes down, the USS Voyager-J is yet to make an appearance in Star Trek: Discovery season 5 . In Discovery season 5, episode 7, "Erigah", written by M. Raven Metzner and directed by Jon Dudkowski, a fleet of four Starfleet ships protected Federation Headquarters from the Breen Imperium. The Voyager-J was not among these ships, presumably because the Federation wanted to protect the pathway drive from falling into the hands of the Breen Imperium. As Discovery only has three episodes left before it ends for good, time is running out for the show to reveal Starfleet's spore drive replacement.

As Burnham seeks the universe's greatest treasure in Star Trek: Discovery season 5, she'll need help from a host of new and returning characters.

Star Trek: Discovery’s Spore Drive Replacement May Not Be Explained By The Series’ End

As Star Trek: Discovery season 5's treasure hunt builds to its climax, it doesn't feel like there will be much room to introduce another starship into the mix. The focus in Discovery 's final three episodes should be on securing the Progenitors' treasure, defeating the Breen, and wrapping up the overall stories of the show's lead characters. A diversion to visit the USS Voyager-J to explain how a pathway drive works would be an unnecessary distraction that would kill the pace of Discovery season 5 .

It was revealed earlier in Star Trek: Discovery season 5 that Lt. Commander Nilsson (Sara Mitich) transferred from the USS Discovery to the USS Voyager-J.

What's more likely is that the USS Voyager-J and the pathway drive were potential set-up for the abandoned Star Trek: Discovery season 6. As Discovery season 5 wasn't expected to be the show's finale, it's possible that the writers' room was planning to ditch Discovery's spore drive altogether in season 6. When Discovery season was canceled, so too were any tentative plans for the story of season 6, and the potential to explore how a pathway drive works. This means that Star Trek: Starfleet Academy is now the most likely show to explore Starfleet's latest innovation in starship propulsion .

Why Starfleet Replaced Star Trek: Discovery’s Spore Drive

Ultimately, Starfleet replaced the spore drive because it was an incredibly complex piece of technology that required several moving parts . The horrific fate of the USS Glenn in Star Trek: Discovery season 1 revealed that spore drives need a navigator who could accurately steer the ship through the complex mycelial network. Without a skilled navigator, a ship with a spore drive could spin out with catastrophic consequences for its crew. Stamets was trying to fix this navigation issue between Discovery seasons 4 and 5, but was unable to crack it before Starfleet shuttered the project.

The dilithium shortage caused by The Burn led Starfleet to explore alternatives to warp travel in the 32nd century to reduce their reliance on the mineral.

Stamets' Tardigrade DNA enables him to pilot the USS Discovery through the mycelial network, but there's a lack of other viable navigators. The only other candidate was Cleveland Booker (David Ajala) whose empathic gifts as a Kwejian enabled him to interface with the mycelial network. However, due to the destruction of his home planet in season 4, he's one of the last of his kind, vastly reducing Starfleet's available candidates for spore drive navigators. With so few navigators, Starfleet opted to go with the pathway drive, which it's hoped will appear in a future Star Trek show following the end of Star Trek: Discovery .
