Wouldn't that mean we shouldn't have gotten a reward then, since Mr. Drake would have no idea what the hell we were talking about once we got back and contacted him?

Then he never would have sent us back in time to destroy the comet.

No one ever said time travel in Star Trek made sense.
But if we destroyed the comet in the past, how can there be a comet in the 25th century to cause us problems in the first place?
Ah but you were in the past with the knowledge and experience of the prior timeline when the timeline was altered. You were shielded from the temporal change because you where in the past. Not to mention you were the cause of the temporal change. The question is how is Drake being shields from the changes in the timeline? Him being in the 25th century should be part of the new timeline.

This is assuming that time is linear in nature, but it could be we only perceive time in this fashion.
Anyone who had knowledge of the change was unaffected by it as well. That is how Drake knows after you come back. Plus he made a recording...just in case.
Actually it's not much of a paradine to dissect really. Your computer logs would still have information about the events. Even if it didn't, you now have knowledge of Drake's contacts and the super secret world Section 31 uses and can explain to him how he set up the time travel to begin with. Even if he didn't believe you, if he could modify your ship without knowing it, I'm sure he put something else in there to help him assess the situation. He seems like the thorough type.
Ah, but that was an alternate version of Voyager that was erased from history after it rammed the Krenim time-erasing ship, which ended up erasing itself from existence, so there!
Let's be honest, the Devidian series got itself into a bit of a mess with the time travelling in the finale, which puts it in fine company with rest of Trek. My two major complaints:
- If you accidentally destroyed B'Vat's ship, the game should have paused with the words "B'VAT IS DEAD" appearing over the screen while Leonard Nimoy shouted "Captain, you can't do that! The future will be changed! You'll create a time paradox!"
- When you got back to the present, Drake should have had a big mustache. Or spontaneously become a woman. One of the two.

Your first part makes my head hurt. the "Year of Hell" was a great 2 parter IMO, but all the stuff made it hard to maintain a linear track of.
When I come into contact with temporal paradoxes, I tend to think of the butterfly effect. The fact that nothing really changed in the series does bother me, but I'm certain that something along the line of "time sorts itself out in the end" is the best explanation that doesn't include my head imploding trying to come up with a scientific explanation.
Does that technically mean the first Devidian Series episode didn't take place?
Yes, which is why I hate time travel in fiction. I have yet to see ANY story involving time travel into the past that wasn't hillariously devoid of any kind of logic. Writers should keep their pens off that idea, really.
There is NO way whatsoever to keep time travelling and logic and reason under the same roof, except your story doesn't alter anything there at all. Which rarely makes sense.

Yes .

I think you missed the boat; we have discussed this already.:D
Heh..
Better than some of the other topics that persisted over the weekend....
This might help.:D

Yeah...that's it.
I'd think that Schrodinger's Caitian would come into play here.
That post has made my day.
