Continuing from the last episode, the Captain and crew have
forged an alliance with the Borg(stupid), Kes is having

EPISODE 2: THE GIFT(Sept. 10, 1997):
The last episode for Kes! I hated that they cut her out
of the series just to add a stupid Borg to the ship! This
was where I quit watching the series during it's initial
television run! It's going to be hard for me to continue,
but I'm determined to see this stupid series out!
Anyway, Kes is having difficulty with controlly her new
found abilities, and therefore "she" decides that for the
safety of the ship and crew, she should leave!
And 7 of 9 is very determined not to be unassimilated!
Some really stupid points here, why the Hell did they leave
all the Borg hive equipment active on the ship?!!
Most importantly here, Kes, as she's leaving the ship,
gives the crew a going away present!

Janeway, The Doctor, Security Chief Lt. Tuvok, Kes, Commander
Chakotay, Lt. B'Elanna Torres, Ensign Harry Kim, Lt. Tom Paris &

7 of 9 wants to make herself usefull and asks to be
assigned to engineering, which makes B'Elanna very
unhappy! And she's having issues with a Klingon tradition,
the "day of honor", that is upon her and she doesn't
want to observe it!

He is let go right away, but find himself in the middle of
a civil war of sorts!
Meanwhile, back on the Voyager, the crew are being helped by
the very people that the group Chakotay winds up with are
fighting against! How will this turn out?!
I read a lot of reviews on this, and I disagree with the way
they all were distracted by the talk of the locals on the
planet! In fact, I found it quite fitting for the episode!
This is basically a war story, and I am not a fan of war
TV or Movies! But I believe this on is a comment against
war, and has some redeeming qualities! And the ending is
quite - interesting!

Security Chief Lt. Tuvok, Captain Kathryn Janeway, Ensign
Harry Kim, Lt. Tom Paris, Lt. B'Elanna Torres, Neelix &

give, as it's the last one without 7 of 9!!)
EPISODE 5: REVULSION(Oct. 01, 1997):
Voyager intercepts a distress call from a - hologram!
The Doctor and B'Elanna are assigned to find out what's
going on and offer assistance if possible! What they
don't know is that there is a lot more going on here
than just distressed ship!
Also going on is Harry is assigned to do some repairs
with 7 Of 9, and he is very nervous about it! The reason:
he's starting to have feelings for her!

there's wierd flashing going off intermittantly,
Chakotay is suddenly experiencing accelerated aging

Voyager comes upon a planet where they spend a little
shore leave as well as pick up some supplies! The inhabitants
are all telepethetic and there's been no crime for years,
until now!! This all comes down to the crew on Voyager!!

And the great John Rhys-Davies is back again!
Several flaws here, not the least of which is that Janeway
has the opportunity, TWICE, to beam the culprit up to the
ship and change intirely the balance of power! But even
with the flaws, this is a great episode!! A+
EPISODE 12: MORTAL COIL(Dec. 17, 1997):
Neelix is Godfather to the first child born on Voyager and

Secondly, Neelix joins an away team to try to gather some
"protomater" and while they are gathing it, Neelix gets
killed! Seven Of Nine to the rescue!
But when Neeliix returns, he's not quite himself! That's
because he thinks that he learns that the "Beyond" that

This is a commentary on the existance of God and the after
life!

to send The Doctor to the other ship! When he gets there
he finds the ship has been under attack, and all hands are
either dead or severly injured, from the Romulans!
"I'm a doctor not a commando" here, by the other EMH!
This is a piece of fluff with a little bit of seriousness

Commander Chakotay, Captain Kathryn Janeway, Seven Of Nine,

Another stupid story involving Seven Of Nine! While "helping"
a new race intall some new weapons on Voyger, the dude who's
both the seller and the installer rubs Seven the wrong way

"Hunters" and "Prey" are back, and fighting a Klingon!
After the Klingon is defeated, the dude calls to sickbay
and says "Janeway requires medical assistance"!??

Voyager encounters a particle that has the possibity

for help, specifically, Chakotay! He has no memory of the
woman hailing him, and it turns out that she's from a race
that once they leave, the people that they've come in contact

This starts 700 years in the future where, in the history

EPISODE 25: ONE(May 13, 1998):
Another stupid Seven Of Nine episode!! The ship encounters a
Mutara nebula that is deadly to the human crew! To go around it
would mean an additional year to their trip! Therefore the
answer is to put the entire crew in suspended animation,
except for the Doctor and Seven Of Nine! So for a month
the two pilot the ship through the nebula, not always
smoothly!!
Not nearly as bad as it could have been, the ending helps
it a lot!

life with Paris, Tuvok and Chakotay aboard! After getting
the ship under control, the crew start to analyze it to

From an IMDb.com customer:
Voyager started off on shaky ground, but gradually
levelled off into a good scifi show. It took TNG
forever to find its unique niche and identity, and
so it is for Voyager. It can be compared to the
original Star Trek, in its go-where-no-one-has-gone-before
identity.
Humor and drama, action and sometimes even horror
are well-balanced in Voyager, the characters started
off slightly odd but eventually became edgy but fast
friends with each other. Even Neelix, the Talaxian
who often looks as if he's wearing rejects from Quark's
wardrobe, has become a far more palatable and even
likable character.
If Neelix can make me laugh, then Voyager has its
niche. :) - ffordegroupie
