Star Trek Voyager - The Complete First Season

Summary: Good start to another star trek series
Review: I think the idea of this series was a good one having the voyager sucked out into the delta quadrant 70,000 light years from earth. It starts out where the voyager is chasing marquise rebels who along with voyager get pulled across the galaxy by the caretaker who is searching for the right species to help take care of a planet it's kind had accidentally cause life on this certain planet to go underground due to unforeseen ecological damage it had caused to the planet. The caretaker is dying and eventually dies leaving voyager trying to figure someway to get back to federation space(it would take decades to do so). The Delta quadrant is full of hostile beings. One of the first is the Kazon. One of voyagers crew( who was one of the rebles at first(Seska)...and unbeknownest to them a disguised cardassian becomes one of the voyager's greatest enemies when she gives the kazon some federation tecnology. She escapes and starts helping the Kazon out including several raids on Voyager. Another enemy in the quadrant are the phageans who steal other races body parts to keep on living due a genectic disorder which deforms many of them called the phage. There are several run ins with them along the way. In all, it was a good idea to do this with this series because it has it's own uniqueness to it with a new series of protagonists and allies.

Summary: Great Series, crappy packaging.
Review: I won't belabor or repeat what has been said many times, many ways about the series itself...you can read other reviews for that.

My beef is with the crappy packaging. For $100 apiece you'd think you'd get something of higher quality and that you didn't have to wrestle with every time you open it!

That's my 2 cents...

Summary: 70,000 Lightyears + The Unknown + Female Captain = Success
Review: With the success of running Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine together and The Next Generation moving on to films...they decided to begin another series. This series would be different from any other that Star Trek has done before. The biggest change...Kathryn Janeway! What? A female captain? Yes that's right. In this series, as part of a spinoff of Deep Space Nine, I suppose, we see the combination of a Starfleet and a Maquis crew. These two must combine after they get thrown into the Delta Quadrant...70,000 Lightyears from home...70 years from home! This first season is short as the series did not start until January of 1995. It's a great start. The first season gives you just a taste of what the show was going to be all about. This show added a whole new dimension to Star Trek, and this is only the beginning...

Best Episodes:

Caretaker, Parallax, Time and Again, The Phage, The Cloud Eye of the Needle, State of Flux.

Summary: When they were good
Review: Voyager pretty much degenerated into implausibility the last seasons, and it even affected Seven of Nine. But before that, there was Kes, who you can't fail to like. There was the ever rough-edged Tom Paris, who achieved one of the most convincing transformations. There was the rough edge of B'Elanna Torres.

"Prime Factors" has to be one of the better episodes, introducing the Seska arc. And the writers could have done so much more with the Chakotay/Janeway romance. This season reminds us of the possibilities that once seemed as endless as the Delta Quadrant.

Summary: A look back from the originals aired
Review: It was interesting to take a look back on who was the original Executive Officer (Lieutenant Commander Cavit), the original Chief Medical Officer (Lieutenant Commander Fitzgerald) and the original helmsman (Lieutenant Stadi) since the characters died on the pilot episode and we all forgotten about them. Still, we never knew who was the original Chief Engineer.

Summary: Best of the post TOS Star Treks
Review: I enjoyed Voyager very much and think it is better than all the other Star Trek series after TOS.
