Distant Origin

An alien paleontologist discovers a common ancestral link between his people and humans. He believes that this proves that his people, the Voth, evolved on Earth and migrated to the Delta Quadrant millions of years ago, but his government is not as willing to believe his interpretation of the evidence.

The aliens are descended from Earth's dinosaurs, and vaguely resemble Hadrosuars.

The paleontologist suggests to his Gov't his theory, and the leader, a very bitchy older Hadrosaurid, captures Voyager and it's crew in her city sized ship and threatens to put both he and and they in prison if he does not recant his claim. He does so, only to avoid seeing Janeway and her crew suffer.

He is not unlike Galileo, in his time, being imprisoned in his home by the catholic church, for daring to say that the Earth revolved around the sun, and not vice versa.

Excellent show!

Worst Case Scenario

A holo-novel is discovered in the computer banks, in which Chakotay raises a Maquis mutiny on Voyager. Then, when Paris and Tuvok discover that the program has been altered, they and the Voyager crew must race to stay one step ahead of a holographic Seska.

Another good one. Seska returns..in holo- form!
