Mobile emitter; should they have kept it?

it was future tech and they where never supposed to have it. it would have been a violation of the temporal prime directive. simply having it would have altered the timeline. for example a crew member is on a planet and they get mortally wounded the Doctor can beam down and save him but what if he was supposed to die.

i think its a good thing that they kept it... firstly it was sort of forced upon the docter, so it was under there cercumstances that the voyager crew came into contact with it, and also it was liberating and i am glad the docter could finally have something like that. so i think yes, its good they kept it

it was a great idea for the show. and I definately prefer that they kept it. but maybe from a logical standpoint they shouldn't have.

I think it was in violation of some rules, but the writers needed a way for the doctor to participate more in the episodes, instead of being confined to sickbay and the holodeck.

yes but I think it goes back to City On the Edge of Forever, Edith Keeler had to die, what if all the people saved by the doctors mobility also had to die.

Then the future Star Fleet would have come back to repair the damage. I guess we're supposed to assume that Voyager was supposed to have the mobile emitter. :D

I think they were supposed to have the Mobile Emitter. Or the Temporal Police would have gone back in time to confiscate it.
