If she didn't give up the chance to go home so many times we wouldn't have had such a long running series.

[quote="Voyager2004]So it wasn't a bad storyline. It was a story based off of something already established on TNG, merely closing an open ended plot.[/quote]

Yes, I knew all that, of course, it was a good story and I was very happy that they used the plot from TNG, up to the point where they lost the wormhole, it looked so incompetent that I felt it was not organic and a bad story line (at list for me).

I seem to remember an episode where the planets inhabitants had a space facility which they used to explore and which could fling you thousands of light years but they did not allow outsiders to use it (I know of the catapult in Voyager Conspiract but this was a very early episode).

Obviously some of the crew felt they should use it and I feel Tuvok or someone actually defied Janeway's orders to accept the technology in exchange for a replicator or something. Being an early episode, I can not remember the name of it.

She also dismissed using the slipstream drive for short bursts on a regular basis.

I am also a little confused as to the Hirogens relay network.

If the network led to the outer reaches of the alpha quadrant did Janeway set a course along the network and set a course home that way or did she deviate from the network.

I find it hard to believe that some of the hostile species they met after thier encounter with the Hirogen would of allowed the Hirogen to access the network without a fight, that is if thier space was along the networks length .

There are too many times to list. I think one episode had Q offering to bring them home in exchange for something as well. There is also that botched Warp 10 experiment. Many, many more.

It must be totally ingrained in Janeway's character. Even the Janeway that was a copy of Janeway from the "Demon Planet' had to do the same thing. When they found a class-Y planet that they might call home the crew wanted to shoot their way down to the surface but Janeway chickened out and turned the crew back to the Alpha Quadrant course. Course Oblivion.
