DVD Star Trek Voyager - The Complete Sixth Season
In their sixth season trying to return to the Alpha Quadrant, the crew of Voyager continues to find signs that they may be close to home. They ran across another Federation starship in the season 5 cliffhanger, "Equinox," which is concluded in action-packed fashion. Then they benefit from a brief communications link to home thanks to the ongoing efforts of The Next Generation's Lt. Reginald Barclay (Dwight Schultz), occasionally assisted by Counsellor Troi (Marina Sirtis). "One Small Step" sets Voyager on the trail of NASA's first manned mission to Mars (one of the bonus features details Robert Picardo's post-Trek work with NASA).
In other episodes, Torres (Roxann Biggs-Dawson) tests the limits of Klingon honor ("Barge of the Dead"), Tuvok (Tim Russ) stretches his emotions ("Riddles), Paris (Robert Duncan McNeill) and Kim (Garrett Wang) embark on a new holdeck program, wrestling superstar the Rock makes a gimmicky guest appearance ("Tsunakatse"), a former crew member returns ("Fury"), and the crew discovers a group of abandoned Borg children ("Collective"). The two most interesting characters continue to be the Doctor (Picardo) and Seven of Nine (Jeri Ryan). The former stretches out numerous times ("Tinker, Tailor, Doctor, Spy," "Virtuoso," "Life Line"), and we learn more about Seven's Borg past in "Survival Instinct" and the season closer, in which Seven discovers that during regeneration she can enter a dream world called Unimatrix Zero. There she meets a number of mutated Borg who can exist in this world in their pre-assimilation state and who also present an idea for destroying the collective from within. The Borg Queen, however, discovers the plan and ends the season in a nightmarish cliffhanger that recalls the great Next Gen episode "The Best of Both Worlds." --David Horiuchi
Review(s): DVD Star Trek Voyager - The Complete Sixth Season
Better and better.
More than any other Trek series, Voyager had a steady improvement in quality as it moved in to it's later season, particularly after season 4. Season Six is truly excellent, some of the best of Voyager. The season picks up where the previous left off, with the conclusion to the much underrated Equinox, which really tests the crew's devotion to principle, as the actions of a renegade Starfleet crew result in Voyager being the victim of attack by extra-dimensional entities.
Barge of the Dead is a quirky look at the Klingon afterlife, and while not being remarkable, it's still a worthwhile episode.
Tenker, Tenor, Doctor, Spy is one of the highlights of the season, as hostile aliens tap in to the Doctors daydreams, where he is the most intelligent, important, and all around greatest crew member. Easily one of the funniest Trek episodes ever.
Alice gives us Tom Paris obsessing over an old shuttle, much in the way modern day car guys do with cars.
Dragons Teeth give us a memorable species, the Vaadwaur, who had been in cryogenic suspension for 1000 years.
the Voyager Conspiracy is an episode of paranoia and second guessing, as Seven thinks that the rpesence of Voyager in the Delta Quadrant is no accident.
Pathfinder features guest appearances by Lt. Barclay and Counselor Troi, who become involved in a project to try and establish contact with Voyager via a radical application of subspace radio.
Fair Haven gives us the memorable holodeck town of the same name, a 19th century Irish town where the crew can unwind amidst absurd situations.
Blink of an Eye has been called one of the most fascinating episodes in Trek history, and that is no understatement. Voyager becomes trapped in orbit of a planet where time moves faster than the rest of the galaxy, and as a result, their society becomes centered around the "sky ship", which they marvel over for thousands of years.
Virtuoso is another great Doctor episode, in which he becomes a superstar of a society that has no concept of music.
Collective features the Voager crew adopting a group of Borg children, abandoned by the collective.
Good Shepherd is Voyagers' "Lower Decks", the famous TNG episode which examined the life of junior officers on the Enterprise. Captain JAneway takes a group of udneracheivers on a Delta Flyer mission where they encounter an unusual alien entity.
Live Fast and Prosper is another great comedic episode, in which a small group of con artists masquerade as the Voyager crew in order to pursue illicit transactions.
Muse involves B'ellana crashing on an M Class world inhabited by a humanoid species who have a society similar to ancient Greece, and B'ellana is mistaken for a goddess by a poet, who sees her as a muse.
Life Line is yet another Doctor episode, and features Barclay and Deanna once more, as well as the designer of the Doctors holomatrix, who is dying of a degenerative illness.
The Star Trek franchise continues...
Nominated for 30 Emmys, including seven for Outstanding Special Visual Effects for a Series, Star Trek: Voyager continues the rich tradition of the original 1960s Star Trek franchise. Created by former L.A. police officer Gene Roddenberry, the Star Trek TV series morphed into a franchise famous for the unprecedented fanatical devotion of its fan base. Lasting only three seasons during its original network run, Star Trek struck gold with its syndicated reruns, launching a number of motion pictures featuring the original cast as well as novels, comic books, collectibles, and reams of Star Trek-related memorabilia. The third spin-off from the original Star Trek series, Star Trek: Voyager premiered in January 1995 to modest critical acclaim, but experienced great success with television viewers, slowly increasing its ratings as the series progressed. Following on the heels of Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987) and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (1993), the series precedes Star Trek: Enterprise (2001) while boasting an all-star cast that includes veteran actress Kate Mulgrew (whose past TV appearances include such shows as Dallas, Cheers, and Murphy Brown). Yet instead of pursuing the classic Star Trek mission to "boldly go where no one has gone before," Star Trek: Voyager is more about going where the crew has been before...
Star Trek: Voyager follows the exploits of the crew aboard the starship USS Voyager. As the series begins, the Voyager is on a Federation mission to capture a rogue ship of Maquis rebels (a race first introduced in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine). While in pursuit of the Maquis, the Voyager enters a system known as the badlands, and both ships are instantaneously transported to the Delta Quadrant over seventy-thousand light years away on the outskirts of the galaxy. Soon, both the Maquis and the crew of Voyager learn they were brought to Delta Quadrant by the Caretaker, a mysterious force overseeing the safety of the Ocampan race who live in the shadow on an impending threat from the vicious Kazon. When the Kazon destroy the Maquis ship, the Voyager crew merges with the Maquis crew to defend themselves from the Kazon. Having destroyed the device which could bring them home, the crew of the Voyager - led by Capt. Kathryn Janeway (Kate Mulgrew), and the crew of the Maquis ship - led by Commander Chakotay (Robert Beltran), must work as a united front in order to meet their mutual goal of finding a way home...
The Star Trek: Voyager (Season 6) DVD features a number of exciting episodes including the season premiere "Equinox" in which the crew of the Voyager is charged with devising a solution to rescue Capt. Janeway and Seven Of Nine before it's too late... Other notable episodes from Season 6 include "The Voyager Conspiracy" in which a malfunctioning Seven Of Nine starts spouting rumors of mutiny when the Voyager encounters an alien race in possession of warp technology capable of bringing the Voyager back home, and "Good Shepard" in which Capt. Janeway takes three of her crew members on a special training mission that goes awry when a collision with a comet threatens their very lives...

The DVD Report
The worst, SIMPLY the worst
I own and cherish every other season of Voyager, except for this season. I literally found myself bored and nauseated by the writing, the characters, the clichés, and the pointless introduction of the "Borg Children" which made no sense dramatically and when the much improved Season 7 rolled around, they quickly jettisoned them. There were 2 great episodes (one being Voyager Conspiracy and Unimatrix Zero) but out of 24, not great odds. Adding to this the horrible return of the beloved Kes, this season they had a different producer at the helm and lack of writer Brannon Braga, and MY GOD does it show.

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."

Under intense scrutiny, the debut season of Enterprise earned a passing grade from critics and Star Trek fans alike. Voyager ended its seven-season run just four months earlier, and fans were skeptical when Enterprise premiered (on Sept. 26, 2001, on UPN) with a theme song ("Where My Heart Will Take Me," composed by Diane Warren and performed by Russell Watson) that defied Trek's revered theme-music tradition. This and other early reservations were dispelled when "Broken Bow" got the series off to a satisfying start, beginning in the year 2151 and establishing a pre-Federation focus on humanity's delicate relationship with the Vulcans, the controversial launch of the NX-01 Enterprise on an exploratory mission, and the potentially devastating...

For many fans, Voyager hit its peak in the fourth season, due in no small part to a certain former Borg drone named Seven of Nine, Tertiary Adjunct of Unimatrix 0-1, but you can call her Seven of Nine (Jeri Ryan). Following the season 3 cliffhanger "Scorpion," the crew enters an unlikely alliance with the Borg against Species 8472, led by Seven of Nine, who ends up restoring (mostly) her human roots and trying to assimilate herself among Voyager's crew all the time feeling the pull of the Collective and resisting the mother-hen attempts of Captain Janeway (Kate Mulgrew). While Seven's curvaceous figure and skin-tight uniform certainly won over many fans, she was helped by a commanding presence, good writing ("So you wish to copulate?" was a classic line), and a stage that...

With Captain Jonathan Archer (Scott Bakula) trapped in the 31st century, season 2 of Enterprise opens with a rousing resolution to season 1's cliffhanger finale. The first four episodes instantly became fan favorites: "Shockwave, Part II" advances the Suliban's role in the Temporal Cold War; "Carbon Creek" reveals the real first contact (albeit a secret one) between humans and Vulcans in Pennsylvania in 1957, allowing Jolene Blalock to play T'Pol's "second foremother" in a Sputnik-era scenario; in "Minefield," Reed (Dominick Keating) is nearly killed by an explosive device attached to Enterprise's hull; the damage is repaired in "Dead Stop," featuring award-winning digital modeling effects as the disabled Enterprise encounters a mysterious automated space...

Described by series cocreator Brannon Braga as "a single episode that lasts 24 hours," the third season of Star Trek: Enterprise is arguably the best in the show's four-season run. With the epic "Xindi saga" as the season's primary story arc, the series found its tonal focus in the unpredictable space of the Delphic Expanse, where alien encounters and matter-warping spatial anomalies forced Capt. Archer (Scott Bakula) to make extreme decisions that tested his ethical boundaries. Realizing the need for a fresh viewpoint, Braga and cocreator Rick Berman hired Manny Coto, a TV veteran who conceived or wrote several of the season's finest episodes (not forgetting Mike Sussman and other members of the series' first-rate writing staff). Coto's involvement was instrumental in shaping the... More Info about this DVD Actor(s): Scott Bakula DVD Release Date: Released the 27 September 2005 Usually ships in 24 hours
