Star Trek: Voyager: Pathfinder

"Pathfinder" is the tenth episode of the sixth season of the science fiction television series Star Trek: Voyager, 130th episode overall. It features the characters Reginald Barclay and Deanna Troi from Star Trek: The Next Generation. Paris's dad Admiral Paris played by Richard Herd, makes contact with his son. This also marks a continuation of the story arc of Picard's Enterprise with contact between Voyager crew and Barclay who had served aboard the Enterprise D, and first contact with Earth by Voyager since Message in a Bottle (S4E14). Previously, the Star Trek character Reginald Barclay had appeared in the Voyager show in Projections (S2E3), however, although played by the same actor in that episode it was a holographic simulation of Barclay. The same actor playing as Barclay had appeared in cinema in the feature film Star Trek: First Contact (1996).
