Star Trek : Voyagers premiered 30 years ago today with the premiere of “ Eye of the Needle ” The titular eye of the episode is a wormhole that Harry Kim discovers with the potential to lead back to the Alpha Quadrant in some form.

It's an episode that is, in many ways, about the infectious nature of hope as it is seeing how the Voyager crew handles having hope snatched away from it, no matter how hard they try to hold on.

No character in Voyagers crew, at any point, allows the hurdles thrown at them to be an opportunity to give into despair.

No matter what comes up, even when the crew’s final attempts to make this all work just cannot quite come together, our heroes keep trying and keep hoping.

Even when the humanity beneath the veneer of Starfleet professionalism is allowed to break through the more optimistic they get.
