"Time in a bottle" featured mission

I just wanted to say... this mission was great for me, in every way (after that "House of Pegh", which wasn't so great imho):

Aron Eisenberg - superb voice acting, maybe I'm not completely objective here (Nog was always one of my favorite characters, I like the funny ones), nice plot and storytelling and characters in this mission.

I had some thoughts on the plot, mind....

1) So, finally we catch up with Qwen! He's been engaged in dodgy dealings all the way across the Delta Quadrant, he's personally got me shot at on more than one occasion, so it's good to get my hands on the little so-and-so and sling him in the brig.... Oh. We let him go. Oh, well, never mind.

2) The current idea seems to be "defeat the Iconians by rebuilding the doomsday-weapon temporal warship of a militaristic empire". What a sound move. There is no possible way this plan could go wrong.

Makes things interesting, doesn't it?

What, exactly, will we do with this Time Ship? Wipe out the Iconians? IIRC, when they did this sort of stuff in Voyager, only those on the ship has any idea that things were different. So, we wipe them out, then what? How do we explain all the things in-universe that are the way they are because of Iconian influence? The whole Romulan Republic story line comes to mind...

Which is more likely, actually using a weapon of absolute destruction on an entire sentient species (even the KDF wouldn't go that far) or a reconciliation with the non-psychotic iconians prior to that total destruction (after which the Krenim may feel their work wasn't appreciated, and decide that they'd be better off with the terrifying super-weapon in their hands. Enter season 11.)

Do you think we're going to get a weapon ship each, like we did the Obelisk Carrier?

We possibly could, since the Krenim say we have to help them build it.

Well... TECHNICALLY... we're not rebuilding it. The timeline where it existed was reset after Voyager rammed into her, destroying both ships and causing her Temporal Core to blow, undoing EVERYTHING that Annorax did since the 22nd Century. He still had the plans when time reset, but he never actually followed through with building the ship because his wife, the reason he went on his time altering rampage, actually convinced him to step away and spend time with her.

So while the plans exist... in this instance, the Temporal Weapons Ship was actually never built.
