Year of Hell, part II Trivia

TREKCORE > VOY > EPISODES > YEAR OF HELL, PART II > Trivia

After the weapon ship is destroyed, Annorax is shown at his home with his wife, implying that the damage done with the temporal weapon has been undone, and history has been restored. This is shown after the scene in which Voyager is shown fully restored, back at the beginning of the year. However, it was said several times that Annorax and his crew had been on their mission for over 200 years. As such, if the weapon ship's destruction, undid everything that it had done, both Annorax and his wife should have died over 100 years earlier.
   
It is stated that Annorax has been attempting to restore the Krenim Empire for 200 years. However, when the temporal ship is destroyed Voyager is restored to the point it was at before it first encountered the Krenim. It is unlikely that after 200 years of wiping out other races that none of the newly restored races would have impacted the history of Voyager.
   
Annorax says that he's collected thousands of artifacts from species that never existed. They seem to exist on his ship without "disappearing", presumably because of the state his ship exists in. So, why does he need a special box to prevent the lock of his wife's hair from disappearing?
