Good episode.
On truth and history.


JANEWAY: When diplomacy fails there's only one alternative. Violence. Force must be applied without apology. It's the Starfleet way.


JANEWAY: The best way to bring down a ruler is to make his people suffer.
DALETH: Captain-
JANEWAY: This is no time for half-measures. You wanted victory. You're going to get it.


Quarren: You're trying to protect yourself.
The Doctor: And so are you - from the truth! Isn't it a coincidence that the Kyrians are being portrayed in the best possible light? Martyrs, heroes, saviors... Obviously, events have been reinterpreted to make your people feel better about themselves. Revisionist history - it's such a comfort.


The Doctor: I'm a medical hologram, programed to do no harm, but I'm doing harm on a global scale. Ever since you reactivated me, I've been concerned with clearing Voyager's good name, but that's not important now. There's more at stake!
Quarren: A few days ago I might have agreed with you - but what about the facts?
The Doctor: Facts be damned! Names, dates, places, it's all open to interpretation. Who's to say what really happened? And ultimately, what difference does it make? What matters is today, and the future of your people.
Quarren: Doctor, you were there! You can't deny what happened!
The Doctor: I can... and I will. Tedran was a martyr for your people, a hero, a symbol of your struggle for freedom. Who am I to wander in seven hundred years later and take that away from you?
Quarren: History has been abused! We keep blaming each other for what happened in the past. If you don't help us now, it could be another seven hundred years.


Quarren: Calm yourself.
The Doctor: Why should I? I'm about to be hanged for crimes I didn't commit!
