Summary: Way too expensive
Review: Voyager was an awesome series, no doubt. Good story arc, and a great cast. I can't think of one complaint. I really want season one on DVD along with the entire series. I just want to know what is up with the $100+ price tag on the Trek seasons. Typically, the TV season box sets average around $50 give or take a few dollars until you get to the Trek section. I like most of the Trek stuff, but the cost is outrageous. Given the cost, I am more inclined to start my SG-1 collection. I am currently buying the Buffy and Highlander disk sets for $45 and $59 respectively, and I keep passing up the Next Generation and Deep Space Nine sets because of the cost. It is kinda ridiculous, and for the most part, only the die hard Trek fans are going to buy them. I enjoy the show, but not enough to drop $700+ on the series

Summary: ...bet u can't guess what me and my cusin is a doing...
Review: Just Kidding. No, really, I'm writing a review for Star Trek: Voyager (ST-V). I had never been interested in Sci-Fi untill my bro-inlaw introduced me to Star Trek: The Next Generation. It was cool and all, but I have never had a TV Show hit me harder than ST-V. It has it all: suspence, drama, sexuality (BIG PLUS, especialy 7 o' 9), special effects, action, things that blow up, and suprises that will blow you away. I highly recomend ST-V, But it doesn't really get that good untill season 4. Then again, thats when 7 o' 9 came on the show (5 stars on her, too).

Summary: Finally! One of Trek's best. Don't miss it on DVD!
Review: Note: This is more of a commentary on the show than on the upcoming DVD. But I hope it will help you in your decision to purchase Season One of Star Trek Voyager.As of this date, I have only seen the packaging for the Voyager DVDs. I'm not sure how the material is being presented. But rest assured, Star Trek: Voyager's debut on DVD has been a long time in coming. Many Trek fans have criticized Voyager for being aimless, the stories lifeless, the cast unlikable, too much Borg here, too little of this there. The fact is, not everyone is going to enjoy what Voyager was offering. Not everyone enjoyed Deep Space Nine (although it's a brilliant series), and not everyone is currently appreciating Enterprise for what it is. As for myself, I happen to disagree with all of the negative criticisms. In my opinion, I believe Voyager to be one of the strongest series, next to Deep Space Nine, in the entire Trek canon. Every show has weak stories - not every show has a cast with an incredible chemistry. Not every show has a story arch that persists for 7 solid years. Not every show puts a woman in a commanding, leading role and manages to succeed as a character/captain, where others have faltered. Voyager does all of this, and more. It takes Roddenberry's vision of exploration and makes it the central focus. In essence, this is Lost in Space, with a Starfleet crew. For 7 exhilarating seasons, we join two crews (Starfleet and Maquis) who are unnervingly forced to work together as one, as they truly go where no one has gone before. Thrown 70 thousand light years across the galaxy into the Delta quadrant, it's up to the intrepid crew of the highly advanced, intrepid-class starship Voyager to work together and confront a slew of new alien races, civilizations, and intricate conflicts in order to safely return home. It's not always smooth sailing, and if you think you know how they make it back to Earth, think twice. The number of riveting, edge-of-your-seat two-parters are plentiful and serve as captivating examples of how *great* Trek stories should be told. It's truly a story of change. The characters grow and develop into people you'll swear you know inside and out, and by the end of the show, you'll feel as if you made a 'trek' across the Delta quadrant yourself. The spectrum of Star Trek: Voyager is both broad and brilliant. It has an epic quality that builds and builds each season. I've grown to love every crew in each Trek series, but Voyager's crew is one that will hold a special place in my heart, always. I suspect Paramount will do just as good, if not a better job on these than the Deep Space Nine discs. If they come anywhere close, fans of the series should not be disappointed. Everyone, get ready for the journey - all over again. If you missed the show the first time around, you're in for an awesome treat!

Summary: Are you kidding?
Review: Season one is only 15 episodes on 5 discs and they are still charging $100.00!!! I refuse to believe the archaic pricing plan for these DVD's. With shows like Buffy and 24 releasing DVD sets with almost twice as much content for $50.00, it is hard to stomach this. Paramount's special feature list is never interesting anyway. I suppose if you like the show you have no choice, which is the unfortunate aspect of our buisness structure.

Summary: Long awaited
Review: I have waited in anticipation for this moment. I am sure that is true of many fellow trekkers. I have enjoyed the lot on VHS and come Feb we [trekkers and all others who'd enjoyed or would enjoy this saga] could all partake in the eventful, bittersweet and heartfelt journey of Voyager in its most basic of quest... the quest to come home...

Summary: The Series Begins Far From Home & Lost in the Delta Quadrant
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 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 travelling 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 first 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). In the two-part series opener entitled "The Caretaker", Chakotay, B'Elanna, Seska (Martha Packett) and a few other occasional Voyager crewmen were not part of the original Voyager crew. Instead, they were members of the Maquis, a group of armed separatists opposed to both Federation and Cardassian rule. They, along with the crew of Voyager (who is sent to capture them), are themselves captured by a very advanced being known only as the Caretaker, who uses his technology to grab and transport them to the Delta Quadrant. The transportation damages Voyager and the Maquis ship and leaves many Voyager crewmen dead. Rather than let a less advanced, but violent, race known as the Kazon obtain the ailing Caretaker's technology, Captain Janeway makes the unpopular decision to destroy the Caretaker's ship, which also destroys their best & easiest chance of getting home quickly. Hence, Voyager is on its own in the Delta Quadrant, having no support from the Federation, and begins its long journey back home with a combined Federation/Maquis/Delta Quadrant-native crew. Through the first season, Voyager continues to battle the Kazon (who are determined to own its technology), the unfriendly holographic Doctor (the only doctor on board) starts to become more sentient and friendly thanks to his interactions with Kes, a traitor is on the loose, the phage-infected Vidians want to harvest Voyager crewman organs, the crew experiences time travel, the crew have to acquire a taste for Neelix's cooking, and B'Elanna experiences inner battle between her human and Klingon halves. Noteworthy episodes include the two-part "The Caretaker", "Time and Again", "Phage", "The Cloud", "Eye of the Needle", "Emanations", "Faces", "Jetrel" and "Learning Curve". Overall, I rate the first season of "Voyager" with 4 out of 5 stars. It was a good start for what ultimately became a much better series after the introduction of the former Borg character "Seven of Nine" (Jeri Ryan) at the end of the third season. I am very glad to see Paramount Television finally begin releasing the "Voyager" series on DVD.

Summary: Voyager on DVD w/ excellent extras
Review: Finally Voyager comes home on DVD. Priced just like the previous DS9 sets, we can expect these season sets to come out every other month for the year of 2004. Star Trek Voyager. What can I say really? I was there at the beginning, and watched the entire series, minus a few eps. It's the story of a starship lost in the Delta quadrant, trying to form new alliances, and avoid the Borg, on their way home. Yes, it had it's ups and downs. Yes they brought in a hot chick to play a borg by mid-series. Many will claim Voyager is horrible, when the simple fact is it's not. It's actually pretty good. It's just a little different from the Treks we're used to. Great characters for me were Tuvok the vulcan, and the Holo-doctor. I really don't know what else to say, except Borg Queen, Species 8472, Viddians. :) The bonus material on this first set is meaty to say the least. There's all kinds of behind the scenes stuff, plus the long awaited and often wished for, never aired Bujold as Janeway footage. This alone should be worth the money for the first set.

Summary: At last
Review: Voyager is the only Star Trek series from which I have not missed one single episode when it was aired.
At last, now it is coming to DVD. I can't wait until February 24th. I'm really looking forward to seeing all the extra features.
If you are a Trekkie, you must own it. I plan to order all 7 seasons as soon as they become available.
