species who don't trust telepaths, as in Tuvok! They
routinely intercept Voyager to makae sure that they
obey all of there rule, including no telepaths!! To
get around this, the crew has come up with a way to

Another episode of Capain Proton! And in this one, while role
playing in their favorite hero stories, Tom and Harry wind up
in real peril when the program encounters a glitch caused when

the entire ship!
Seems that there are interdimentional beings that all they want
to do is have a first contact with a new species!

(Ensign) Tom Paris, Captain Kathryn Janeway, Commander Chakotay,

Torres, Neelix & The Doctor! A
EPISODE 13: GRAVITY(Feb. 03, 1999):
This starts out with a young Tuvok and his first lessons
in logic! The reason for all of this comes out later in
the episode! Then it switches to a desolate planet on which
the Voyager shuttle, UNNAMED, crashes with Tuvok, Paris,
and the Doctor! Paris runs into a scavenger that appears
to be a native of the planet, and she promptly relieves
him of some of his gear! One thing leads to another and
the thief ands up working with the two to try to get
them off the planet! Oh, and the universal translator seems
to out of service!
And to make matters even worse, there's a time distortion
that makes every hour that the Voyager experiences is like
a month to our stranded crew! All of this was caused by a
temperol rift that an alien race is trying to close so
no one else gets trapped in it!
A McCoyism here: "I'm a doctor, not a battery"!!
This is very remincent of "The Galileo Seven" from the
TOS series!

Security Chief Lt. Commander Tuvok, The Doctor, Lt. B'Elanna
Torres, Commander Chakotay, Captain Kathryn Janeway, Ensign

has been discovered and it appears to lead straight home!
Everyone seems to be excited exepct Seven(which makes sense)!
She continues to find a reason that this whole thing is a ruse!
What is really bothering her is that everyone is recieving
letters from home that are extremely positive!
Naomi Wildman to the rescue!!!
The Doctor says "This is a sickbay, not an arsenal" &
"I'm a doctor, not a dragon slayer"!

EPISODE 15: DARK FRONTIER PT. 1(Feb. 17, 1999):
ANOTHER FUCKING BORG EPISODE(actually two, as this is
part 1)!!!! Voyager meets up with a Borg ship and promptly
destroys it! Sound like a win scenario, right! WRONG!!
After the big boom, the crew discover a Borg scout ship
2 light years away and the captain decides to intercept
it to raid it of useful technoloty! Stupid idea!
This has flashbacks to Seven's parent's attempt to
contact and make friends with the Borg!
This whole mess pits Seven Of Nine against, well, just
about everyone!
The Borg Queen shows up in this, but not played by the
same actress as in the movie First Contact(Alice Kreig)!
This episode has, in order of appearance: Captain Kathryn
Janeway, Commander Chakotay, Seven Of Nine, Security Chief
Lt. Commander Tuvok, Ensign Harry Kim, The Doctor, Lt. Tom
Paris, Lt. B'Elanna Torres & Neelix!
This is continued in the next episode! However, they have
blended the two episodes together into one long episode! F-------
EPISODE 16: DARK FRONTIER PT. 2(Feb. 17, 1999):
More Borg shit!!!!
This episode has, in order of appearance: Seven Of Nine,
The Doctor, Captain Kathryn Janeway, Security Chief Lt.

Ensign Harry Kim, Lt. B'Elanna Torres & Neelix!
And I still hate the Borg, and Seven Of Nine! F-----------
EPISODE 17: THE DISEASE(Feb. 24, 1999):
Kim is forging a relationship with a crewmember on another
ship! Her species is very xenophobic, and this gets him into
A LOT of trouble!! And the ship that they're trying to help
apparently has infected Voyager with parasites that are eating
away at both ships!! Hence, "The Disease"!!
This episode has, in order of appearance: Ensign Harry Kim,
Captain Kathryn Janeway, Lt. B'Elanna Torres,Commander
Chakotay, Lt. Tom Paris, Security Chief Lt. Commander Tuvok,

It's the day we all knew was coming, Tom and B'Elanna
get married! The cerimony goes off without a hitch(pun
intended", but the aftermath creates a definte threat
to not only them, but the entire crew!!
This episode has tie-ins with a previous episode from
season 4, "Demon"!!
Ensign Kim "plays" "Heart And Soul", "The Wedding March" &
"Hear Comes The Bride" on the clarinet in this!

Of Nine, Commander Chakotay, Security Chief Lt. Commander Tuvok &
Lt. B'Elanna Torres! A
EPISODE 19: THE FIGHT(Mar. 24, 1999):
Chekotay is in contact with an alien race telepathically
which started when he was boxing with another dude! The
importance of this is that the ship is in danger from a
space distortion that's breaking it apart and the aliens
that are the inhabitants can help them get out of trouble!
This is kind of a parallel of the Bermuda Triangle!!
The character of Chakotay is shown in this in a very bad
light, and this is pretty dumb over all!! And I'm not
a fan of boxing!!!!!
This episode has, in order of appearance: Commander Chakotay,
The Doctor, Seven Of Nine, Lt. Tom Paris, Captain Kathryn
Janeway, Lt. B'Elanna Torres, Ensign Harry Kim, Security
Chief Lt. Commander Tuvok & Neelix!
This guest stars Ray Walston again as Boothby! B
EPISODE 20: THINK TANK(Mar. 31, 1999):
It appears that Voyager has a price on its head! And
there is a civilization out to get the reward! While
trying to come up with a solution, a group, which includes
Jason Alexander's character, offers their help for a price:
quantum slipstream technology, Neelix's recipe for Chadre'kab,
an ancient Olmec figurine and Seven Of Nine!! I was REALLY
hoping they'd take them up on this!!(LOL)!!
This episode has, in order of appearance: Captain Kathryn
Janeway, Seven Of Nine, Ensign Harry Kim, Lt. Tom Paris,
Security Chief Lt. Commander Tuvok, Commander Chakotay,

their ship, and it's threatening to blow up and contaminate
a huge part of the space that the Voyager is in!

EPISODE 22: SOMEONE TO WATCH OVER ME(Apr. 28, 1999):
An incredibly "pure" and "spiritual" peoples are contacted
by Voyager in hopes of gathering badly needed minerals!
But one of the diplomates who is on Voyager to observe
gets rather smashed and makes a mess of the whole negotiations!
Meanwhile, Seven is doing a study on humans mating rituals
and it is suggested that she try out actually delving into
the dating scene herself!
Seven & The Doctor sing in this again!
There's a fairly large faux-pah here in that The Doctor
and Tom both intimate that they had no idea that Seven
had a good voice! In the episode "The Killing Game" from
season 4 Jeri sings several songs, all quite well done!
Even though Seven Of Nine is a prevelant part of this
episode, it's actually quite good! And The Doctor finds
himself romantically attracted to Seven!

Lt. B'Elanna Torres, Neelix, Seven Of Nine, Captain Kathryn
Janeway, Security Chief Lt. Commander Tuvok, The Doctor,

All about Janeway's ancestors! She's been told a tale
about her ancestor as being the responsible party of
one of the greatest building feats of the 21st century!
Of course there's always one naysayer, and in this case
it comes in the form of Tom Paris!
This episode has, in order of appearance: Neelix, Captain
Kathryn Janeway, Commander Chakotay, Seven Of Nine, Lt.
Tom Paris, Ensign Harry Kim, The Doctor, Security Chief
Lt. Tuvok & Lt. B'Elanna Torres! A
EPISODE 24: RELATIVITY(May 12, 1999):
Taking us back to the beginning, this starts out with
Janeway's first introduction to her new ship, the
Voyager! More here than meets the eye!!
This all has to do with time displacement and some sort
of time police that are trying to fix the problem and
some sort of device that has been planted on Voyager!
This episode has, in order of appearance: Captain Kathryn
Janeway, Seven Of Nine, The Doctor, Lt. Tom Paris, Neelix,
Lt. B'Elanna Torres, Ensign Harry Kim, Security Chief Lt.
Commander Tuvok & Commander Chakotay! A
EPISODE 25: WARHEAD(May 19, 1999):
This one's about The Doctor and he's just not himself
lately! That's because an alien weapon with artificial
intellegence has taken him over! Purpose: unknown!!
Huge flaw here, after the beinng that is the weapon,
the simple solution to the whole problem: pull off
the arm band!!!
This episode has, in order of appearance: Lt. Tom Paris,
Neelix, Ensign Harry Kim, Commander Chakotay, The Doctor,
Captain Kathryn Janeway, Lt. B'Elanna Torres, Seven Of
Nine, Security Chief Lt. Commander Tuvok! A
EPISODE 26: EQUINOX PT. 1(May 26, 1999):
Another distress signal, another Federation ship! Said
ship has been almost totally destroyed by an unknown
assailant! But the assailant has good reason to be attacking
them! Things go from dire to deadly very quickly,
as it seems that the crew of this said ship don't hold
to the ethics as the crew of the Voyager!
For the second episode in a row, the Doctor is not who
he seems to be, as he has been replaced by the EMH from
the other ship!
This episode has, in order of appearance: Captain Kathryn
Janeway, Seven Of Nine, Commander Chakotay, Lt. Tom Paris,
Ensign Harry Kim, Security Chief Lt. Commander Tuvok, Neelix,
Lt. B'Elanna Torres & The Doctor! B+

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
