Amazon.com: After Seven of Nine (Jeri Ryan) spent much of Voyager's fourth season trying to resist the pull of the Borg, and just when the tide of battle seemed to be turning, she returns to the Collective in a memorable confrontation with the Borg Queen (Susanna Thompson) in the centerpiece story of the fifth season, the two-part "Dark Frontier." The Borg also factor into the nightmare-laden "Infinite Regress" as well as "Drone," in which a strange Borg-human-EMH hybrid teaches Seven the experience of parenthood, of sorts. Species 8472 returns as well, in another of the season's gritty episodes, "In the Flesh."
The series' historic 100th episode "Timeless" goes back in history as Kim (Garrett Wang) and Chakotay (Robert Beltran) try to repair a past mistake (directed by and guest-starring TNG's LeVar Burton), and in another dizzying episode, "Relativity," Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) is spending her first day on Voyager when she discovers Seven, who has traveled back in time to prevent an act of sabotage. It was also a good season for buddies Kim and Paris (Robert Duncan MacNeill). In addition to "Timeless," Kim takes center stage in "The Disease" when he embarks on a dangerous romance. Paris is thrown in the brig in "Thirty Days," and his Captain Proton holodeck simulation goes haywire in "Bride of Chaotica!" In "Course Oblivion," a ship wedding is the prelude to a deadly displacement for the entire crew.
It wasn't all slam-bang action. The Doctor's (Robert Picardo) buried memories lead to an ethical conflict in "Latent Image," and he and Seven (the two most consistently interesting crew members) dabble in the most unlikely of romances in one of the series' most touching and memorable episodes "Someone to Watch Over Me." Also, Jason Alexander (then in Seinfeld) guest-stars as a scheming alien in "Think Tank." Voyager didn't always close its season with a cliffhanger, but in "Equinox, Part 1" an attempt to aid another Federation starship in the Delta Quadrant uncovers a threat that might destroy them both.
The bonus features include a season recap, crew profiles of Voyager's resident couple, B'Elanna Torres and Paris, a 19-minute spotlight on the makeup process (Neelix was created as a combination of Timon and Pumbaa in The Lion King), and "The Borg Queen Speaks," in which Susanna Thompson discusses the difficulties of shooting and how she had originally auditioned for the same role in Star Trek: First Contact. --David Horiuchi
Good series with one exception ^ I am Trekkie but Voy is not my favorite series (this appertain to TNG and DS9). But Season 4 of Voy was very good and Seven is an enrichment for the show. But I don't like the behavior of Janeway in this Season (espcially in the episodes "Thirty Days" and "Latent Image").
My package was cracked ^ Great series - no prob with product itself. I got two of the four dvd seasons I bought with the cases broken.
Great Buy, But A Real Case-Cracker ^ LOVE this product, LOVE the deal!! At this price and with free shipping "to boot" (as we say here in rural Ohio LOL) this is really a must-buy for any Star Trek Voyager fan! My ONE and ONLY problem with this buy was that when I received it, the case was cracked along the top, and pieces of it fell out when I opened it up. However, the discs were all just fine and I'm really not much of a one for aesthetics. I have purchased a total of 3 of these from Amazon now, and have been completely satified with them all, but all 3 were cracked like that right along the top. A little more packing material and it's all good! =)
Best Star Trek Series ever! ^ Star Trek: Voyager was the best series in the entire Star Trek franchise, although I enjoyed them all. With the addition of the character Seven-of-Nine in season Four, the cast became complete and the storylines started getting more complicated and interesting. Seasons Five through Seven are the best three seasons in this series and highly recommended for science fiction fans who enjoy watching relationships growing along with the amazing technology.
Excellent series ^ Excellent series quit being cheap, get them all you know you want them, This is Star Trek get off your wallet.
For those of you who just don't get it I say get it and you will, if you don't then you have no soul or imagination how sad for you.
