It’s been almost 20 years since I’ve watched Voyager. Can someone remind me what the context is for this meme?

Tom uses a shuttle to travel to warp ten. Once he reaches the threshold he’s everywhere at the same time, becomes Kwisatz Haderach. When he comes back he starts mutating, loses his mind, kidnaps the captain, they fly off at warp 10.

By the time voyager finds them they’ve devolved(or evolved) into small amphibians, luckily the do has a magic serum that will fix them. As the crew are about to leave they notice a bunch of tadpoles. Basically Tom and Kat had tadpole babies.

I always thought it was evolved, which I didn’t understand at all.
It was, and it doesn’t make any sense. That’s not how evolution works lol, the writers really should’ve gone with mutating instead
If there’s one thing Trek is totally consistent about, it’s the writers having no fucking clue what evolution is.
