Anything in Star Trek is canon if you want it to be. Even if you are totally and absolutely objectively wrong about it.

/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

Anything could just be a holodeck program. Anything is possible!
Or an alternate universe, or transporter clones, or time shifters, or android copies
Don't leave out biomimetic lifeforms.
and memory manipulation
And a timeline that was overwritten
Or just Q fuckin' around.
Could be someone messing with The Guardian of Forever again...

And then, off camera, the doctor took those 2 foot long lizards and turned them back into humans.
Well you see, the doctor just got them to go warp 0, which of course reversed the effects of going warp 10.
Unfortunately, the process also deleted all 100 Teraquads of exact maps of the delta quadrant and the whole universe that would have been an invaluable treasure to all of star fleet and drastically helped voyager reach earth. That's why those maps, the most stunning and valuable asset any starship has ever obtained, were never, ever mentioned again.
I literally never thought about that particular plot hole considering the cluster fuck that was the rest of the episode
Don't forget that the doctor easily reverted their condition in a single episode. They could have probably found a way to prevent the mutation given a month or two of work.
Or screw that, install warp 10 on Voyager, get back to Earth, wait for all the crew to turn lizards and cure them. Et voilà, in a couple of days you are back safe home.
After that, the most heroic thing Voyager could have done is setup somewhere with power and dedicated their entire ship to broadcasting those maps back to the alpha quadrant until the very last crew member was dead. Those maps would literally change the scope and shape of the universe for whoever held them, and it was Starfleet. They could have ushered in a golden age of peace and tranquility for the galaxy.
Janeway should have made that choice, but nope. Banding about with the most valuable cargo in the universe, at risk of losing it to ripe cheese.
~~Banding~~ Bandying about with the most valuable cargo in the universe,
I have no idea of the etymology, but I'm fairly certain "to bandy about" means "to wander around aimlessly," although I think it's usually applied to conversational topics, as in "Janeway bandied about the idea of giving up coffee, but dismissed it pretty quickly."
Pedantic, I know, but I just have this pathological need to correct misused homophones and felt compelled to jump in, so... Sorry? You're welcome? Either way, have a good day!
Eh, no problem. Win some, loose some. Won in the hand is better than too in the bush, yeah? Hare today, gone tomarrow and all that.
Their is always a way to make youre case, and I think you did a grate job.
eye starts twitching
Edit: it's actually very impressive that you nearly managed to misuse more words than you used properly, lol
Thanks. I really wanted to misuse "case" as well, but unfortunately it's a homonym.
Look, when you're killing new life forms created in the transporter and turning nebulae into coffee, there's only so much time on your schedule to devote to such things.
Well, as long as it's not brought up again by another show we can just pretend it never happened.
Dammit, Lower Decks!
Were they not amphibious?
Yes, they are obviously salamanders, much to moist and gooey to be lizards.
Those do be facts tho, no cap.
