Did you know this about Star Trek: Voyager’s pilot episode, Caretaker? Consider the following...The idea came from classic TNG stories where Q would toss the crew into the unknown.“We remembered the episodes… where Q would show up and throw one of our ships or one of our people off to some strange part of the universe,” said Michael Piller. “We started to talk about what would happen if… we didn’t get home. That appealed to us a great deal.”
