Can someone fill me in on what has happened on Voyager this season?

Anything regarding finding their way home? Communicating with the Alpha Quadrant? Anybody die? Any big Borg battles?

I just discovered that if you want to type a word in italics (in the client), you can hit ctrl/i. The appropriate code with the brackets and everything comes up and you can type your text. Way cool. It also works with bold, list and something else - what's "u"?
