Some overlaps with said time warp poll, but with emphasis that a good chunk of what we saw was obliterated by some cosmic tweaking.

Non Sequitur - a very well done 'let's torture Harry psychologically' show
Before & After - What the second half of Voyager should have been, Captain Chakotay and multiple generations
Year of Hell - Wow, a rollercoaster of a story
Timeless - My personal choice (okay so Harry is psychologically tortured again), but this is the one story you WANT to press the reset button!
Fury - er, just an excuse to get Jennifer on the show again?
Shattered - fun and a poke at J/C - "never crossed that line" Chakotay says when the engaged Captain Janeway gets flirty.
Endgame - watched it last weekend. And my reaction was, so? Worth the look of shock on Captain J's face when she is told who Chakotay might marry! And 7 wakes up to the reality of relationships on a starship, and tells us all why there are so few romances in Trek - it's too darn risky!

Non Sequitur - bleh
Year of Hell - not to bad
Timeless - excellent, but I voted for this one in the other category so... My number two choice in this one.
Fury - the less said, the better
Shattered - interesting and through the J/C'ers a bone that was promptly left in the dust.
Endgame - again, the less said, the better.
Which, of course, leaves 'Before and After'. The writers finally really started finding Kes' feet in this episode, and, better still, it had a fairly original take on time-travel/cosmic tweaking thing.

ENDGAME SPOILER HEREIN MY POST
Non Sequitur - I usually go to bed early when this airs. But it's interesting that it suggests that the Harry Kim Factor determines in Tom's redemption on multiple threads of fate.
Before & After - my close runner-up. The Doctor can say "analgesic" real good, but he loses the show points on the "Renchens" or however they're spelled. I don't think even Picardo could get psyched into believing in that table of measure.
Year of Hell - How bad can it get? I think we see how bad it can get.
Timeless - Voted this one. EYYYYESSS!!!
Fury - *cough!*
Shattered - I give them credit for making a clip episode with all new footage.
Endgame - Well, one good thing could be said about the demolition of the timeline: The Doctor's name won't be "Joe"

An Article in the UK Star Trek magazine, interviewing Mr Picardo, has him expressing a hope that the change of timeline might result in a romantic opportunity for the Doc with a certain Blonde...

You mean a certain emaciated blonde who used to be a redhead? Hey, I'm all for it. Just so long as he doesn't call himself somthing stupid like Schmullus or Joe, or steal some dead famous person's name. |

^^ got that right
my physics teacher pronounced them 'Runt-guns'.
"R (o+(umlout) ntgen - named after their discoverer (1845 - 1923) the dosage of X-rays which will produce ions in 1 cubic centimetre of dry air carrying 1 electrostatic unit of charge."

So what happened to RADs? Christina: ö (of course I don't know whether Mac or UNIX users see that as an o with an umlaut...) |

So what happened to RADs? Unit of absorbed dose of ionising radiation, corresponding to 100 ergs per gramme of absorbing material. So x amount of Röntgens gives you z amount of Rads. I think. Duh  |

Unit of absorbed dose of ionising radiation, corresponding to 100 ergs per gramme of absorbing material. And "erg" is what one says when they start mutating from too much of the stuff. Thanks. And now I know what the problem was: a certain someone mispronounced the word. Don't get me started over how Picardo threw the game on Weakest Link and what I said aloud while sitting here alone when it happened.  |

The correct pronounciation as listed in 'Talber's Cyclopedic Medical Dictionary' is, in fact, 'rent-gen'.

^^^ Is that with a hard "g" sound, like in "goat?" I was a theoretical physics major undergrad, and we pronounced it "rent-jens." ;D

I've inherited an uncanny knack for pronouncing foreign words and names, something which won the customers over when I worked for Michael C Fina. They'd outright spell their name instead of tell it to me. Once spelled, I'd just say it like I knew them all my life, and they'd go all bonkers like I'd achieved the unachievable. Am I rambling?) |

I'd hazard a guess and say that the AMA or the science standards whatsit decided that having the accented 'o' was too hard for most english speaking nations and decided to, ah, re-arange things. It's pronounced 'rent-gen' (yes, hard 'g') in every dictionary I can find in the house, both medical and non-medical.
