tom paris has discovered a way to cross the warp 10 barrier, you see

uncomfortable giggles #voy

janeway: we’ve always managed to use new technologies wisely

hahaha #voy

tom paris has an enzymatic imbalance. it’s slight, and janeway doesn’t want him to be the pilot, but tom paris is throwing a whole holy old fit about it #voy

i looked away for a second and somehow they got it resolved. tom paris will be the pilot. #voy

they’re calling the vessel Cochrane #voy

tuvok: he is approaching the threshold

oh please don’t approach that threshold

now things are starting to get weird #voy

chakotay seemed upset when janeway left the bridge to see tom paris in sick bay post transwarp flight #voy

why were you upset, chakotay #voy

anyway, tom paris is waxing poetic about being omnipresent

the doctor is sarcastic about it #voy

they are hopeful about this new technology. why, we could get home! it could change the very nature of our existence!

neelix pours a new blend of coffee, in honor of tom paris #voy

Things are starting to Happen to tom paris, but he doesn’t want to go back to sick bay

soon, he doesn’t have a choice. he passes out and is in distress #voy

this is what you get for fucking with the infinite, isn’t it

in sick bay, the doctor posits it’s an allergic reaction, but it’s to water, basic ol’ h20

physiologically, other things are happening too, like he can no longer process oxygen #voy

it doesn’t sound like he had a very good childhood

he’s raving about this, that, and th’ other thing, but he always zeroes in on his relationship with daddy paris #voy

they think tom paris is dead. the doctor discusses autopsy plans with kes, and they walk away

later on, the doc hears something strange and finds tom paris alive - with an extra heart, no less #voy

the best (worst worst worst) parts of this episode were interrupted by a Cat which is infinitely more important and a lot less mind boggling

how do janeway and tom paris ever look at each other after a thing like that, i mean come on #voy
