If you did, I did, too . . .
Perhaps the strange effects of transwarp caused reality to split into two
timelines, with one _Voyager_ going back to the Delta Quadrant while the
other made it through to justify the opening sequence of the episode where
they return home in triumph.
And speaking of the transwarp hub thingie, did anyone see a little round
pod with two arms hot on the trail of a big black block pop out of one of
the openings . . . <g>
