Gonna try and avoid spoilers for after like the first 20 minutes of the episode, but if you're going to watch it anyways don't read reviews lol.

Voyager hits another spacial anomaly (cos the galaxy is just teeming with them!) and the whole ship becomes split somehow creating two Voyagers occupying the same space, but still using the same antimatter core? Got it? Definitely

They attemt to remerge using advanced future technology such as modulation of things, variation of phase, quantum polarising the encabulator and all that...

Now this part makes no sense to me. If they were to remerge while the whole crew is in different locations in the ship wouldn't they all be quantumly destroyed? Same with the two ships themselves. One is a total wreck barely alive and the other is totally fine. They are completely different now, what happens if they recombine does it just average everything out?

I probably thought way too hard about this... but it really reminded me of that R&M episode where they split reality and they had to stay in the same location to remerge or it messed everything up more.

Overall Deadlock is a decent episode I must say, if you can ignore the nonsense that is. It raises some interesting philosophical dilemmas if nothing else.
