Editing Reginald Barclay (section)

====Lieutenant====
Following the events of ''First Contact'', in ''Star Trek: Voyager''{{'s}} [[Star Trek: Voyager season 6|sixth season]] episode "[[Pathfinder (Star Trek: Voyager)|Pathfinder]]", now-[[Star Trek ranks|Lieutenant]] Barclay has been stationed on [[Earth]] for two years.  He is assigned to [[Starfleet]] Communications' Pathfinder Project, the mission of which is reestablishing contact with the lost {{USS|Voyager|Star Trek|6}}.  After becoming obsessed with his holographic recreation of the ''Voyager'' and her crew, Barclay seeks counseling with the visiting Deanna Troi.  Despite her urgings, Barclay disobeys orders from his supervisor ([[Richard McGonagle]]) to test an unproven theory.  After being caught by security officers, Barclay's theory pans out, and all is forgiven as Starfleet briefly communicates with ''Voyager'' personnel for the first time since the [[Star Trek: Voyager season 4|fourth season]] episode "[[Message in a Bottle (Star Trek: Voyager)|Message in a Bottle]]".<ref name="1999-12-01 Pathfinder" />

Barclay returns to the Jupiter Station Holoprogramming Center in "[[Life Line (Star Trek: Voyager)|Life Line]]" to liaise between the Doctor and his programmer, Lewis Zimmerman (also portrayed by [[Robert Picardo]]).  Barclay again enlists Counselor Troi's help to convince Zimmerman to allow the Doctor to treat him for an as-yet untreatable illness; Zimmerman is dismissive of the Doctor's abilities and expertise because that generation of the EMH software was decommissioned by [[Starfleet]] as unfit.  When psychotherapy fails, Barclay [[sabotage]]s the Doctor's program to force Zimmerman to come to terms with his creation; though Zimmerman uncovers Barclay's subterfuge, he successfully repairs the holoprogram and consents to treatment.<ref name="2000-05-10 Life Line" />

Prior to the events of [[Star Trek: Voyager season 7|season seven]]'s "[[Inside Man (Star Trek: Voyager)|Inside Man]]", Barclay has been tinkering with holography again, developing interactive holograms of himself to send to the ''Voyager''.  After it appears that the holographic program has failed to reach ''Voyager'' for a second month in a row, Barclay intrudes on Troi's vacation to confide in her that he believes his ex-[[girlfriend]] ([[Sharisse Baker-Bernard]]) may have something to do with it.  It is uncovered that Barclay was a patsy and that [[Ferengi]] have commandeered his holoprogram to lead the ''Voyager'' to its doom so that they can profit from [[Seven of Nine]]'s ([[Jeri Ryan]]) [[Borg (Star Trek)|Borg]] technology.  Barclay tricks the Ferengi in the guise of his hologram and defuses the situation.<ref name="2000-11-08 Inside Man" />

Schultz appears as Barclay again in the ''Voyager'' episode "[[Author, Author (Star Trek: Voyager)|Author, Author]]".  With the help of [[Harry Kim (Star Trek)|Harry Kim]] ([[Garrett Wang]]) and Seven of Nine, Barclay achieves live communication between Earth and the ''Voyager'' for eleven minutes a day.  Later, Barclay alerts [[Owen Paris|Admiral Paris]] ([[Richard Herd]]) to the distribution of the Doctor's holonovel.<ref name="2001-04-18 Author, Author" />

In the ''Star Trek: Voyager'' [[series finale]] "[[Endgame (Star Trek: Voyager)|Endgame]]", Schultz appears as Barclay both in the series' future ([[25th century|2404]]) and in the series' present ([[24th century|2378]]).  In the future he is [[Star Trek ranks|Commander]] Barclay, and a [[lecturer]] at [[Starfleet Academy]] who provides an aged [[Kathryn Janeway|Admiral Janeway]] ([[Kate Mulgrew]]) with data and a [[shuttlecraft (Star Trek)|shuttlecraft]] she will need to [[time travel|travel back in time]].  In this future, Barclay has overcome his [[stuttering]] except when under stress.  In the present, Barclay is present alongside Admiral Paris at Starfleet Communications when the ''Voyager'' returns home to Earth.<ref name="2001-05-23 Endgame" />
