Star Trek Voyager - The Complete Seasons 1-7

Summary: Hit and Miss Voyager on DVD
Review: A great show at first with an interesting group of characters,Star Trek Voyager began on an excellent start on only to succumb to The writers and producers bowing to the UPN network's demands that the show be commercial as well as draw in veiwers by any means necessary.
The premise was of two opposing crews,Starfleet and the outlaw Maquis, both lost in a distant part of the galaxy,only to merge together to find a way home. Also one of the great factors was a female captain, Kathryn Janeway,.Other character such as ,first officer Chakotay, Chief engineer B'ellana Torres,The holographic Doctor,and convict turned pilot Tom Paris had me wanting to see how they would develop over the next seven seasons.
Unfortunately,after the great first season,(which included such episodes as Heroes & Demons,The Cloud,Prime Factors,and the best ST pilot ever,The Caretaker)the second season was where it started to go wrong.With more emphasis on action as well as UPN promoting it with somewhat over the top teasers(Janeway selling her body in the brilliant second season Resistance,and the psedo lesbian kiss by Kes in third season's Warlord).Characters started to become secondary and it got worse througout the end of the third season.The fourth season introduced Seven of Nine(a former borg drone who also served as the show's T&A,which continues on Enterprise with Sub-commander T'Pol),and many characters get short shifted for focus on Seven.
The series continued on in this fashion until the very end.Although Voyager was somewhat weak and convoluted,it had some great moments,and affection for the crew made you tune in to the show.Even the final episode Endgame, gave way to an action packed episode when the characters reaction to being home would've served as a better resolution.In all,sticking with this show for seven mediocre seasons,it made you smile to see these characters finaly come home.
And will I buy Voyager on DVD,of course I will.Even with all it's flaws,it was still better than most shows on the air at the time,plus it would be interesting if the show plays better almost a decade after it's premere.

Favorite Episodes:10 Prime Factors(season 1)
9 Timeless(season 5)
8 Equinox pt 1&2(season 5-6)
7The Caretaker(seaon 1)
6 Author,Author(season 7)
5 Nothing Human(season 5)
4 Worse Case Scenario(season 3)
3 Deadlock(season 2)
2 The Cloud(season 1)
1.The Year Of Hell pt 1&2(season 4)

Summary: Star Trek Voyager - The Complete Seasons 1-7
Review: I recently purchased the Star Trek Voyager season's 1-7 box set and im in pure heaven...I love this show and even though I love Star Trek The next Generation just as much..Voyager slightly beats it out IMHO.. I think while both show's had tremendous cast's, I like the Voyager crew just a little better. My favorites being Capt Janeway, B'Elanna Torres, and of course Sevn of Nine. This show was excellently written and directed with some of the best episoide's in Star Trek history. I highlly reccomend this to any Star Trek or sci-fi fan!

Summary: Bad packaging is a great disappointment
Review: Voyager is a very good Star Trek series and the 40% discount is fantastic. If you buy the set before 4-30-05, there's even a $25 rebate offer.

Still, the packaging is horrible, and possibly detrimental to the DVDs themselves! I've never seen such terrible DVD packaging. I took out each individual disc and found several of them with smudges and possible scratches. Also one of the tabs that held a DVD was broken and the DVD was loose. Truly, this is the worst package set of DVDs I have ever bought. It is also very hard to get each DVD out of its holder, and it's also very hard to put back DVD slip case (actually only half a slip case).

The only good thing I can say about the seven season series is that it is Voyager and the price is is deeply discounted.

When Enterprise comes out in May 2005, I'll read the reviews before I buy the DVDs.

What a shame. A good series presented very badly.
