I am not looking forward to the day when it somehow returns, starts blowing up star ships, ultimately taking over one of them, and tries to seduce the crew
New plan for the evening...
Not with Voyager, but for example:
The year is 2243; a spacecraft that humans sent out of the solar system on a one way trip launched in 2045, has once again come into contact unexpectedly and is re-entering our solar system. The system seems to have been updated and is sending information that would have not existed when it was launched and is potentially foreign tech in 2243.
This ship was never supposed to come back...
Edit: Ok, I have admittedly not seen the first Star Trek movie.. I probably should =p
You just described the plot of the first Star Trek film. Even better, it was a Voyager probe (a fictional Voyager 6) that was augmented by alien machine intelligence and returned to Earth.
> alien machine intelligence
The Borg.
(Me, I like Ron Jones's theme from The Best of Both Worlds a lot better, anyway...)
Rather belatedly the human race realizes - after decoding some interstellar video - that the Voyager's trajectory will bring it sooner or later into contact with a race whose sole mission is to eradicate all other intelligent life.
The Voyager's creators helpfully adding a map indicating its origins prompt the recall of the century: launch a mission to overtake both Voyagers and to capture them and bring them back before they are discovered.
Working title: Recall
(And you needn't bother, honestly. It's the franchise's answer to 2001, put together by people who didn't really get what made 2001 great. If, like me, you can't get enough absurdly prolonged sequences of old-school practical model effects in effectively static poses, then you'll love it to pieces, but otherwise...)
[Spoiler below, hopefully not a huge deal for an almost forty year old movie)
Voyager returns under the name v-ger.
Sad thing is I saw the movie in the theater when it was first released...just didn't put the two together.
The NT machine was called Locutus.
I have a vague recollection of the humanoid that V'ger hijacked to serve as a voice being romantically involved with the original captain that Kirk replaced, and that relationship being exploited and becoming a plot element later. So I think there was some going on...
