Summary: Mired in Technobabble...
Review: Star Trek: Voyager, under the guiding hand of co-creator Michael Piller, began as a promising and unique entry in the Star Trek franchise. The early tension between Federation and Maquis crewmembers resembled the gritty and oft times darker character relations from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. The series reached its zenith when Brannon Braga and Joe Menosky hit us with a barrage of high-concept SF/Fantasy stories. But all of that promise would soon give way to tired, repetitive stories that relied on Foundation Imaging's brilliant CGI effects to propel them along. Combined with loads of technobabble, convenient plot devices and the ever emerging "reset" switch, Voyager quickly embraced the "easy way out" mentality that kept the series from fulfilling the greatness established in earlier seasons.The 1st, 4th and 5th Seasons would definitely be worth purchasing on DVD. Season 1: ****
Season 2: ***
Season 3: ***
Season 4: *****
Season 5: ****
Season 6: **

Summary: The Best Star Trek Series to Date.
Review: On January 16, 1995, Star Trek Voyager launched into TV history. Clearly the best series of the Star Trek franchise to date, due in large part to an outstanding cast, led by the great Kate Mulgrew as Captain Kathryn Janeway. Sporting superb visual effects, excellent writing by Brannon Braga and Jeri Taylor, and one of the best theme songs ever written for television, Voyager is a timeless masterpiece of science fiction and human drama. Best episodes: Endgame I and II, Deadlock, Scorpion I and II, Year of Hell I and II, Timeless, Shattered, Relativity, Eye of the Needle, Coda.

Summary: Hit or miss ST VOY 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)

8 Equinox pt 1&2(season 5-6)
7The Caretaker(seaon 1)

Summary: Voyager on DVD: Bring it on!
Review: Of all the Star Trek series, Voyager had the toughest row to hoe. Because it was so out of phase with the politics of the years in which it aired, it's going to be worth owning on DVD. Launched in 1995, its "politically correct" crew-female captain and multicultural bridge crew-arrived too late. In the United States, the backlash against the women's movement, the Civil Rights movement, and affirmative action had long triumphed in a revival of ultra-conservatism. By the time Voyager ended in 2001, the xenophobic Dubya had usurped the White House; the racist Ashcroft had become the signifier of the new American justice; and the reactionary Condoleeza Rice illustrated the extent to which women and Blacks must compromise their humanity in order to ascend to positions of influence in the world. Against this backdrop, the Voyager writers-hampered, in addition, by their own personal hangups about race and gender-tried to preserve something of Roddenberry's original vision. It is an excessively secular, Humanist, and American vision, to be sure, but one which nevertheless puts to shame what the U.S. has come to represent in this sad and violent new millennium.
Given these circumstances, the fact that Voyager's later seasons were very good to excellent is a miracle. Kate Mulgrew (Capt. Janeway) had a fiendishly difficult task, namely to create some consistency of character across mutually contradictory scripts that betrayed the writers' uncertainty about female authority. Chakotay's periodic challenges to Janeway are only one of many examples of the writers' ambivalence. Indeed, over the seven years of Voyager's run, the character of Janeway sprang several leaks, out of which oozed quite a lot of traditional SciFi sexism, yet Mulgrew did her best to make sense of these contradictions by making them part of who Janeway is. She may not be the most intellectually gifted of actors, but she's a remarkably disciplined one, and it payed off. It seemed fitting that Voyager's final episode is such a brilliant showcase for her talents. She had earned it, after seven years of swimming upstream against the changing political current. The fact that Trek has returned to the celebration of traditional white masculinity (i.e., Enterprise) increases Voyager's value.
I look forward to Voyager on DVD, but I hope the seven seasons emerge in reverse order. Season seven is by far the best, while seasons four to six are very good. This is primarily because of the chemistry between Mulgrew and Jeri Ryan (Seven of Nine). Relieved by Ryan of the need to be hyperfeminine and stereotypically sexy, Mulgrew, together with the writers, could work on that problem of her authority as captain. Ryan, who is the major feature of roughly two out of three episodes and not a bad actor herself, displaced Robert Beltran (Chakotay) and made up for the fact that he can't act his way out of a paper bag-nor, for that matter, can Garret Wang (Ensign Harry Kim). As for the first three seasons of Voyager, while they are primarily for diehard Trekkies, they will nevertheless be worth owning, if only to compare the strung-out early Janeway with the reflective and much more authoritative later one.

Summary: This is redicelus...
Review: It's not the 24:th century, but I still think VHS is out of date in the present year 2002. I thought this category of film atracts people with technincal interest. Is there any Star Trek fan that doesn't got a DVD player?

Summary: Voyager at last.
Review: I missed the last 3 episodes on UPN when the series ended last
year. Now, I am happy to have finally seen every Voyager
episode on TV here in Manila, Philippines thanks to Hallmark!
Now if only "Enterprise" will be next... Voyager is better than
Deep Space 9 and Next Generation, and I think Janeway is a
better captain than Kirk and Picard put together... Seven of
Nine was awesome...
