Summary: Good Season!
Review: I think that the 2nd Season of ST Voyager is going to be better than the 1st Season. By what another review says, the 2nd Season looks like it has better episodes. Can't wait for 3,4,5,6,& 7 seasons come out!

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Still Isolated in the Delta Quadrant, Voyager Fights On
Review: Less than one year following the concluding season of "Star Trek: The Next Generation" in 1994, executive producer/writer Rick Berman, along with Michael Piller and Jeri Taylor, created a fourth television series based upon the "Star Trek" universe originally created by Gene Roddenberry (1921-1991) in the 1960's. This fourth television series, entitled "Voyager" (which is the name of the Federation of Planets starship used in the series), first aired in January 1995, and ran for seven seasons until it concluded in May, 2001. Because "Voyager" aired initially in the month of January (instead of the traditional September), only 16 episodes were filmed for the first season. The succeeding six other seasons had 26 episodes each, for a grand total of 172 episodes for the entire series.

Unlike the previous three "Star Trek" television series, which (for the most part) took place within the bounds of the Federation of Planets (or in nearby sovereign areas of space, such as the Klingon Empire or the Romulan Empire) in the Alpha Quadrant, the starship Voyager is hurled tens of thousands of light-years from home into the previously unknown and unexplored Delta Quadrant, which is located at the far side of the Milky Way Galaxy. Even while traveling at warp 8 (the fastest safe speed that a typical starship can travel), it would take Voyager several decades to return to Earth. Hence, the series focuses on the survival of Voyager's Starfleet crew, who are completely isolated and unable to even maintain normal communications with Earth, as well as the crew's ultimate desire to find a way home faster than their ship is capable of doing. Also, along the way, Voyager adopts a few Delta Quadrant natives.

The primary cast members of the second season of "Voyager" include Captain Catherine Janeway (Kate Mulgrew), Commander Chakotay (Robert Beltran), the half-Klingon Lt. B'Elanna Torres (Roxann Dawson), Delta Quadrant native (Ocampan) Kes (Jennifer Lien), Lt. Thomas Eugene Paris (Robert Duncan McNeill), Delta Quadrant native (Talaxian) Neelix (Ethan Phillips), the holographic Emergency Medical Holographic Program (a.k.a., "The Doctor", played by Robert Picardo), the Vulcan Lt. Cmdr. Tuvok (Tim Russ) and Ensign Harry Kim (Garrett Wang). Voyager's primary enemy in the second season is still the Delta Quadrant native species known as the Kazon. With less sophisticated technology than the Federation, several of the Kazon desperately want to capture Voyager to use against their own warring people. Seska (Martha Hackett), who left Voyager to join the Kazon during the first season, convinces a Voyager Maqui crewmember, Michael Jonas (Raphael Sbarge), to spy for the Kazon. Jonas' spying, the Kazon's desperation for technology and Seska's obsession for revenge culminate in the second season's cliffhanger final episode (a two-part episode that carries over into the third season).

Through the second season, the holographic doctor's personality continues to develop as he works with Kes, the crew encounters the phage-infected Vidians again, Neelix's duties expand beyond cooking and B'Elanna continues her inner human-Klingon battle. There are also several guest appearances from "Star Trek: The Next Generation" characters, including Reginald Barclay (Dwight Schultz) in episode "Projections", as well as William Riker (Jonathan Frakes) and Q (John de Lancie) in episode "Death Wish", which is one of the season's best episodes. The best second-season episodes, in order of airdate, include "Non Sequitur", "Tattoo", "Resistance", "Dreadnought", "Death Wish", "Lifesigns", "Deadlock", "The Thaw" and "Tuvix". The season's least memorable episodes include "Cold Fire" and "Investigations".

Overall, I rate the second season of "Voyager" with 4 out of 5 stars. Sadly, the continued participation of the Kazon started to get old, as was the appearance of Voyager's second traitor (Raphael Sbarge's character of Jonas); but several of the second season's episodes clearly demonstrated that the show could have some very good creative writing.

Summary: Vger is horrible
Review: Now I am not going to tell you what to watch, but honestly people, Vger was a boring, predictable series. Season two had about 5 episodes that would be considered "adequate" episodes for TNG or DS9. The characters had no zest or appeal, aside from B'Leanna and Janeway (who lost credibility when she could do just about everything, from run a starship to knitting a blanket for the baby.) The only episode of the second season that had any real drama was Deadlock. (I have to admit, I liked the Viideans.) Deathwish was a good one too.

If you have money to waste, by all means, by this and every other season of Vger. But if you have a choice, spend your money on TNG, DS9, Babylon 5, or maybe even a nice weekend trip to a not so far away town.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: great sci-fi
Review: okay--the original Star Trek series started it all and it was great. i enjoyed/enjoy all the shows that are springing from it, and i'd have to say that Voyager is the best 'child' of the asexual Star Trek parent. i like that it takes you away from all the traditional Star Trek components. by writing up a crew that get's lost in a whole new unchartered part of the universe, the writers have put watchers and fans in a totally fresh Star Trek state of mind. not to mention Kate Mulgrew plays the perfect FIRST Star Trek series captain. kudos and more to the show. i have season one on dvd; can't wait to own them all...specifically so i can watch Seven wrestle with that hottie The Rock in that one episode.

*insert Voyager theme music here*

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Packaging is a problem
Review: One of the Discs was scuffed and the packaging was scratched on arrival, Instead of questioning shipping competance, Amazon closed my account. I have to disagree with the person who said voyager was everything Star Trek was meant to be. Gene Roddenberry believed in Life and so did his characters. The New Treks are obsessed with preaching A-Moral politically correct Humanism

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: More Delta Quadrant excitement
Review: Q (John DeLancie) Comes aboard to pester the crew of Voyager along with other hostile & friendly aliens

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Jeri Ryan. Voyager. What else is there?
Review: Seeing Jeri Ryan as 7 of 9 is my absolute favorite part of this entire series. The first season was a well-acted preview, and the soap opera that the show finally became, as the writers dropped off, was it's demise.

But having the breathtakingly beautiful and charming Jeri Ryan as 7 of 9 in this series, where she's introduced in Season 2, is the absolute highlight of this entire show.

Jeri Ryan in a jumpsuit. Woman vs machine conflict. She is a stunner, and like Zev in Lexx, one of the truly beautiful women in sci-fi. Great Jeri Ryan appearances, where's the fanclub?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great story telling!
Review: Star Trek Voyager is unique. It was designed with the idea that there would be a finite beginning and end of the story both being major events. I have watched every episode of every season. I have enjoyed the character developement and maturing of the stars. They grew as the story went on. What made it so interesting is that very few of these stories that involve some journey ever reach the ending. This 7 season story ended in grace. I enjoyed the journey every bit of the way. Thanks!
