Additional Note: Spore Drive and Voyager
No specific continuity nitpicks for The Butcher's Knife Cares Not
For The Lambs Cry, (other than what has appeared in the previous
episodes.) But rather how the Spore Drive is shown to work and
possible compatibility with the Intrepid class ship. Even if
Janeway and/or Seven knew about the Spore Drive it would be difficult
to have the counter rotating ring sections on Voyager.
However, it would certainly work on Borg Sphere ships. More on the
Borg, below.
Moreover, given Janeway's reaction to what the Equinox was
doing, she wouldn't want to use a Tardigrade to guide Voyager's
Spore Drive. Obviously the Borg wouldn't hesitate to assimilate as
many Tardigrades as necessary to pilot Spheres through the Galactic
Mycelium. But would the Collective stop there? They would try to
assimilate the Mycelium itself...
Another possibility, the bioneural gel packs themselves might be
advanced enough to provide the computational power to guide Voyager
through the Mycelium to Federation space. And the Borg would use the
raw computational power of the entire Collective if necessary if
there are no Tardigrades available.
It may be that something may happen to the Mycelium to make it
unusable.
